Job Type: Full time
$5,000 Bonus, awarded at 30 days, and requires a 1 year commitment
Credentialed Veterinary Technicians don't come along every day — and we know it.
We're looking for compassionate, experienced Certified Veterinary Technicians to join our ICU Overnight team — we value your skills, respect your expertise, and give you the tools to actually use them. This is hands-on work where your training gets put to real use.
Since 1997, VREC has served as an AAHA-accredited, 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital — and today, it's also a teaching hospital. VREC is home to the VCA Vet Tech Academy, where Credentialed Veterinary Technician students train alongside our associates, building real clinical skills in real time.
You'll be working alongside board-certified specialists on complex, high-acuity cases using state-of-the-art technology — in a hospital that values communication, teamwork, and hands-on learning as much as clinical skill.
Compensation: $25.00 – $37.00/hr, based on skill set, experience, and licensure status
Schedule: Full-time, (3) 12 hour shifts
Whether you're a credentialed veterinary technician (CVT, RVT, LVT) or a technician in training, we want you using every skill you've worked hard to build:
CVT Skills — ER/ICU
- Triages incoming emergency patients, assessing severity and prioritizing care alongside a full veterinary team
- Monitors hospitalized ICU patients continuously, tracking vitals and catching early signs of change across multiple ongoing cases
- Places IV catheters, draws blood, and manages fluid therapy and CRIs for critical and recovering patients
- Assists with stabilization and treatment plans, adjusting care in real time as patients progress
- Administers medications accurately per veterinarian orders, including controlled substances, with careful documentation
- Performs and assists with diagnostics — radiographs, blood work, and point-of-care testing
We're looking for someone positive, motivated, and ready to bring ideas to the table — our team meets frequently, and your input genuinely shapes how we grow. We protect our culture fiercely, and that means hiring people with the determination to rise above obstacles, wear multiple hats, and show up for their team.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Certified Veterinary Technician
Verify your AVMA-accredited degree equivalency
U.S. employers need your Australian veterinary technology qualification assessed as equivalent to a four-year AVMA-accredited degree. Request a credential evaluation from a NACES-member agency before applying so you can provide documentation upfront.
Target specialty and emergency clinics first
Emergency, specialty, and large referral hospitals hire CVTs more consistently than general practices and are more familiar with E-3 visa sponsorship requirements. Internist, oncology, and critical care departments often have dedicated HR teams who handle visa paperwork regularly.
Confirm your role meets specialty occupation criteria
The E-3 requires that the position normally demands a bachelor's degree in a specific field. A job listing that says 'degree preferred' rather than 'required' can disqualify the role, so ask hiring managers to confirm the degree requirement before the LCA is filed.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your LCA and paperwork
Your employer files the Labor Condition Application with DOL before your consulate appointment. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so nothing stalls between the offer and your interview date.
Negotiate who covers government filing fees
E-3 visa government fees are legally payable by either party, unlike H-1B visa where the employer must pay certain fees. Raise the fee question during offer negotiation so both sides agree before the LCA is submitted to DOL.
Plan your consulate appointment around your start date
The E-3 stamp is obtained at an Australian consulate, not through USCIS, so your start date depends on interview availability. Book your appointment as soon as the LCA is certified to avoid delays that push your arrival past the employer's onboarding window.
E-3 Visa Certified Veterinary Technician: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Certified Veterinary Technician jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Search Migrate Mate to find U.S. employers who have a history of sponsoring Australian professionals on E-3 visas. Filtering by role and sponsorship willingness saves time compared to cold-applying to clinics that have never navigated E-3 requirements. Specialty and emergency hospitals are your strongest starting point.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Certified Veterinary Technician role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the employer's job description requires a bachelor's degree in veterinary technology or a closely related science field as a minimum qualification. The degree must be a stated requirement, not a preference. Roles at general practices that accept any science background or work experience in lieu of a degree may not qualify.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for CVTs seeking U.S. employment?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual cap, so you can apply any time of year and start within weeks of receiving a job offer. The H-1B runs a random lottery with an annual registration window, meaning most applicants wait 12 months or more before starting. For Australian CVTs, the E-3 is the faster and more predictable path.
Can I transfer my E-3 visa if I change veterinary employers in the U.S.?
The E-3 is employer-specific, so changing jobs requires your new employer to file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need a new visa stamp before or shortly after starting. There's no formal E-3 portability rule like H-1B, so plan the transition carefully to avoid a gap in authorized employment status.
