Emergency Licensed Veterinary Technician - Day Shift

Make a Difference When It Matters Most.

At Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC), we show up for pets and the people who love them on some of their hardest days.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, believe teamwork saves lives, and want to work somewhere your voice truly matters — this could be your place.

Who We Are

Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC) is proud to bring trusted emergency-only veterinary care to Southwest Michigan with the opening of EVCC Kalamazoo — our fifth location and the second in the state of Michigan.

We are committed to delivering compassionate, skilled emergency veterinary services to dogs and cats when their primary veterinarian is closed.

Currently, EVCC Kalamazoo is open:

• 24 hours from Thursday at 7 AM through Tuesdays at 7 PM
• Including all holidays that fall within that timeframe

Our #1 goal is to expand to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ensuring pets always have access to lifesaving treatment — weekend or not.

But what truly defines EVCC isn’t just what we do — it’s how we do it.

WE

• Lead with compassion
• Respect and elevate our technicians
• Support each other without ego
• Communicate openly and professionally
• Recognize that emergency medicine is demanding — and take care of our team because of it

What Life Is Like at EVCC

We genuinely care about whoever walks through our doors — whether it’s a critical patient, an anxious pet parent, or a teammate who needs support during a tough shift.

Emergency medicine is intense. It’s emotional. It’s unpredictable.

But it’s also deeply meaningful.

You won’t be “just a tech” here. Your assessment skills, instincts, and voice matter. Our doctors value collaboration. Our leadership team listens. Growth is encouraged, not gatekept.

Your Role as an LVT (Day Shift)

As an Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician, you’re part of a team that thrives on the front lines of emergency veterinary care where every second counts. You’ll handle a wide range of cases, from minor to complex emergencies, collaborating with our doctors and team in delivering gold standard, emotionally intelligent care. You’ll jump into triage, treatments, diagnostics, anesthesia, monitoring, and critical care nursing, all while being a steady, compassionate presence for pet parents in their most stressful moments. This role is for someone who wants to do the work they were trained to do (and more), continue growing their skills, and help people and their pets when they need it most.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Treat every patient and person like they matter—because they do! You keep people and pets together and stay by their side through tests, treatments, and everything in between
• Jump into action, delivering nursing care, treatments, and emotional support in the most critical moments, from triage to discharge
• Bring the meds, the monitoring, and the mastery—from IVs and CRIs to blood transfusions and beyond
• Communicate like a teammate and think like a leader, helping shape plans and keep care flowing
• All the techy stuff—from diagnostics and imaging to sample collection and placing tubes
• Anesthesia, even for our most fragile patients? You’ve got it.
• Use all the cutting - edge techniques in your toolkit: advanced lines (jugular catheters, arterial lines), ultrasound and more
• Identify subtle changes in patient status and advocate accordingly

This role requires confidence, resilience, and heart.
