Cath Lab Technologist - (Cath Lab Tech)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 12 D Pay Rate: $2715.00 - $2797.00
This Cath Lab Technologist role is based in Birmingham, Alabama, a dynamic city known as a major healthcare and biomedical hub in the Southeast. Birmingham combines the feel of a thriving metropolitan area with the warmth of a tight-knit community. The city offers a rich mix of amenities including a revitalized downtown, an impressive restaurant scene, and vibrant arts and music venues. With nearby green spaces such as Red Mountain Park and Railroad Park, as well as easy access to hiking, biking, and outdoor festivals, Birmingham offers an appealing work-life balance. The cost of living is generally lower than many comparable cities, making it attractive for professionals at all stages of their careers. You will work in a modern cardiac catheterization laboratory that supports a broad range of interventional cardiology services. The facility is part of a strong regional healthcare network and is recognized for its commitment to high-quality cardiovascular care, patient safety, and continuous improvement. The cath lab is equipped with advanced imaging systems, digital hemodynamic monitoring, and up-to-date interventional tools, providing an excellent environment for a technologist who wants to expand skills and gain exposure to complex cases. In this role, you will assist cardiologists and the care team with diagnostic and interventional procedures, including left and right heart catheterizations, coronary angiography, and percutaneous coronary interventions. Depending on the facility’s service lines, you may also support additional procedures such as peripheral vascular interventions, device implantations, structural heart interventions, and assist with emergent cases. Daily responsibilities include preparing procedure rooms, ensuring appropriate supplies and equipment are available and functioning, maintaining a sterile field, operating imaging and monitoring equipment, and documenting case details in the EMR and specialized cath lab systems. You will work closely with physicians, nurses, and fellow technologists in a collaborative and supportive environment that values teamwork and communication. Typical caseload may include both scheduled elective procedures and urgent or emergent cases, giving you the opportunity to make a direct and meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Patient ratios and daily volume can vary, but the team is structured to maintain safe workloads and efficient patient flow. The environment is fast-paced yet organized, with clear protocols for emergencies such as acute coronary syndromes. Shifts generally follow day-time hours aligned with procedure schedules, with participation in an on-call rotation to cover after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergencies. During on-call, you must be able to respond within established time frames. This allows for a mix of predictable scheduling and the opportunity to be part of critical, time-sensitive cardiac care. This Cath Lab Technologist position is ideal for someone who wants to refine technical skills in a sophisticated cardiovascular setting, work with a dedicated and knowledgeable team, and live in a city that offers both professional growth and an enjoyable lifestyle.
