Precision, Purpose, and the Pacific Northwest — Your Next Chapter Starts in Tacoma

There is a particular kind of energy that defines life along the Puget Sound shoreline. It's the kind that greets you with mountain views before your morning coffee is finished, that pulls you toward waterfront trails on your days off, and that reminds you, quietly but insistently, that where you live shapes how you live. Tacoma, Washington is that place — a city that has spent the last decade rewriting its own story, and right now, it's one of the most compelling places in the Pacific Northwest to plant roots and build a career. If you're an ARRT-certified CT or Radiologic Technologist who is ready to bring your skills somewhere they'll truly count, read on.

This is not a role you settle into — it's one you grow into, and then grow beyond. You'll occupy a critical position within a dynamic imaging team, working with advanced CT equipment and a multidisciplinary care staff that takes its mission seriously. Every scan you produce plays a role in someone's diagnosis, someone's treatment plan, and ultimately, someone's outcome. That's not a small thing. That's the whole thing.

What You'll Own Day to Day

• Perform high-quality CT and radiographic imaging procedures used to guide physician diagnosis and patient care decisions
• Partner closely with radiologists and clinical staff to ensure imaging accuracy and procedural continuity
• Position patients correctly and calibrate imaging equipment ahead of each scan
• Adhere strictly to radiation safety protocols that protect patients, colleagues, and yourself
• Maintain thorough documentation across imaging logs, patient records, and equipment maintenance reports
• Deliver patient-centered care with professionalism and genuine compassion at every step
• Support an imaging environment that runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently across all shifts

What We're Looking For in Your Background

• Associate's Degree in Radiologic Technology required; a Bachelor's Degree is warmly welcomed
• Completion of an accredited radiologic technology program
• Active ARRT certification in CT and / or Radiography
• Current BLS certification, or the ability to obtain it within 90 days of your start date

The Strengths That Will Set You Apart

• Confident command of diagnostic imaging protocols, workflow, and safety standards
• Strong interpersonal communication skills across patient interactions and interdisciplinary collaboration
• The ability to adapt quickly in a high-volume, fast-moving clinical environment
• An eye for detail paired with a sense of ownership over the quality of your work
• Comfortable and current with PACS, RIS, and modern imaging technology platforms

What's Waiting for You on Day One

• A comprehensive benefits package covering medical, dental, and vision for you and your family
• Generous paid time off and scheduling designed with work-life balance in mind
• Ongoing continuing education and in-house training to keep your skills sharp and your credentials current
• Clear pathways toward career advancement, including cross-training opportunities in additional imaging modalities
• A workplace culture grounded in shared values, clinical integrity, and genuine team support
• A fully on-site clinical setting where collaboration is built into every single day

More Than a Scan — A Role That Means Something

Think about the range of people who pass through an imaging suite on any given day. A teenager with a suspected fracture. A middle-aged patient receiving a follow-up scan after treatment. An elderly man, nervous and uncertain, who just needs someone to explain what's happening in a way that feels kind. You will be that person. The one who positions the equipment and also steadies the room. The one whose calm presence communicates more than any script ever could.

Your technical precision makes diagnoses possible. Your human presence makes the process bearable. Both matter enormously, and in this role, both will be recognized. You'll work alongside a team of imaging professionals who have built something worth being part of — a department culture defined by accountability, warmth, and an uncompromising commitment to doing right by every patient who walks through the door.

Tacoma: A City That Keeps Surprising You

Tacoma often gets described as Seattle's neighbor, but anyone who has spent real time here knows it has its own distinct identity — and it wears it proudly. Sitting at the southern end of Puget Sound with Mount Rainier as a near-constant backdrop, Tacoma offers a visual drama that never really gets old. The kind of place where you can look up from your commute and genuinely feel lucky.

The city's cultural scene punches well above its size. The Museum of Glass, the Tacoma Art Museum, and the Washington State History Museum are all anchored here, drawing visitors and fueling a sense of civic pride that's hard to manufacture and impossible to miss. Meanwhile, the restaurant scene has exploded — think farm-to-table spots alongside beloved old-school diners, craft breweries tucked into converted warehouses, and weekend farmers markets that stock everything from Dungeness crab to locally pressed cider.

Outside the city limits, your options are extraordinary. Rainier National Park is less than two hours away. The Olympic Peninsula is a quick ferry ride into another world. Closer to home, Point Defiance Park offers over 700 acres of forested trails, waterfront access, and one of the region's finest zoos and aquariums. And Washington's lack of state income tax means your paycheck goes further than you might expect, even in the Pacific Northwest.

For healthcare professionals, the region is experiencing genuine and sustained growth. Tacoma's medical community is expanding, investing in new technology and new talent, and building a foundation that rewards those who commit to being part of its future.

The Team You'll Be Walking Into

Imaging departments that function well do so because of the people inside them — not just the equipment. This team has done the hard work of building trust, establishing clear communication, and creating a space where clinicians can focus on what they do best without bureaucratic noise getting in the way. You'll find experienced techs who are generous with their knowledge, leadership that listens, and a shared language of professional respect that makes collaboration feel natural rather than forced.

Your ideas will have a place here. Whether it's streamlining a workflow, improving patient throughput, or just knowing a better way to do something — speak up. That's the culture. It's one where your voice matters and your growth is a shared investment.

Is This You?

You are someone who finds deep satisfaction in doing something well. You take the technical side of this work seriously without losing sight of the human being on the table. You're steady when things get busy, thorough when it would be easy to cut corners, and the kind of colleague others genuinely want on their shift. You're ready for a role that challenges you — and a city that inspires you.

Bring your certification, your skills, and your drive. We'll take care of the rest.
