Overview & Highlights Location: Mesa, AZ – in the East Valley of the Phoenix metro, an easy drive from Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Queen Creek and Apache Junction Schedule: Per diem coverage, generally 1 to 3 days per week, scheduled as shifts come up Compensation: $45 to $65 per hour, depending on experience Benefits: Reviewed during the interview process Work Setting: Procedural cardiac catheterization lab Position Type: Per diem interim coverage on a contract basis, part-time hours On-Site / Hybrid / Remote: Fully on-site – this is hands-on procedural work Experience: Experienced techs only; this opening is not open to new graduates Location & Logistics Work Environment: Active procedure lab with sterile-field standards, imaging equipment and radiation safety protocols Department or Team: Cardiac procedural team – physicians, nurses and fellow techs working the same case list Patient-Facing Responsibilities: Yes – patient preparation, positioning and support before, during and after cases Imaging Equipment and Software: Reviewed during the interview process Coverage Model or Hours: Day-shift procedural coverage on the days you are scheduled; no after-hours call Travel: None – one Mesa location Reporting Structure: Reviewed during the interview process Start Timeline: We can move quickly for the right tech and are glad to work around a notice period. About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life: This is a per diem seat for a Radiologic Technologist who already knows the cath lab and can step onto a case list without a long ramp-up. On the days you are scheduled, you prep the room, help position and prepare the patient, and then scrub in and work alongside the physician through diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization cases. Between cases you keep the sterile field intact, run the imaging equipment, manage contrast and supplies, and stay a step ahead of what the physician is going to ask for next. The lab runs as a small team, so the person in this seat is trusted to anticipate rather than wait to be told. Shift volume is generally one to three days a week, scheduled as coverage is needed. That makes it a strong fit for a tech who wants to stay sharp in the lab on a flexible footing — whether you are filling in around another role, stepping back from a full-time schedule, or building per diem work into your week. Why This Role Stands Out Real procedural work – scrubbing cardiac catheterization cases, not covering general imaging Per diem flexibility with a predictable day-shift pattern and no after-hours call Hourly rate that reflects genuine cath lab skill rather than a general radiologic technologist rate A small, experienced procedural team where your judgment is noticed and relied on No travel between sites and no commuting across the Valley mid-shift A clean, focused scope – you are here to run the lab well, not to absorb unrelated duties What We’re Looking For A Radiologic Technologist with hands-on cath lab experience who can scrub cases independently Someone comfortable in a sterile procedural environment and fluent in radiation safety practice A reliable teammate — shows up for the shifts committed to and communicates early when plans change Close attention to detail under the pace of a live case list Calm, direct communication with physicians, nurses and patients Job Duties & Responsibilities Scrub and assist during diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures Operate imaging equipment throughout each case and capture the images the physician needs Follow radiation safety protocols for patients, yourself and the rest of the procedural team Set up and maintain the sterile field, and correct breaks in sterile technique promptly Prepare and position patients, confirm identifiers and support them through the procedure Anticipate and pass instruments, wires, catheters and supplies as cases progress Prepare and handle contrast and procedural supplies accurately Turn rooms over between cases and keep procedural inventory stocked and ready Collaborate closely with physicians, nurses and other lab staff before, during and after cases Document procedural details accurately and completely in the record Support equipment checks and report anything that is not performing as it should Keep patient information confidential and handle it in line with HIPAA at all times Required Qualifications Prior cath lab experience with demonstrated hands-on scrub proficiency Current ARRT certification Active Arizona radiologic technologist license Strong teamwork, close attention to detail and dependable reliability Able to work on-site in Mesa, AZ on the days you are scheduled Available for per diem coverage of roughly 1 to 3 days per week This Role Is Likely a Fit If You… Have scrubbed cardiac catheterization cases and miss being in the lab Want per diem shifts you can plan around rather than a fixed full-time schedule Work well in a small procedural team and like knowing the physicians you scrub with Take sterile technique and radiation safety seriously without being reminded Would rather be trusted to anticipate the next step than told what to hand over This Role May Not Be a Fit If You… Have not worked in a cath lab or have not scrubbed cases hands-on Do not hold current ARRT certification and an active Arizona radiologic technologist license Need a guaranteed full-time schedule with a fixed weekly hour count Prefer general diagnostic imaging to live procedural work Would find a sterile procedural setting with routine radiation exposure uncomfortable Are looking for remote or hybrid work — every shift here is on-site Why Join Us: Our lab runs on a small group of people who know their jobs and cover for each other well. Techs who join us are treated as part of the procedural team from the first case, not as a stopgap — and the per diem arrangement is built to work for you, not just to fill a gap in a schedule.

We look forward to meeting you. Requirements Prior cath lab experience with hands-on scrub proficiency. ARRT certification and an active Arizona radiologic technologist license.
