Entry Level Imaging Technician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level imaging technician job?
Start by completing an accredited imaging program and earning a relevant credential such as ARRT registration, which most entry level employers expect. Hands-on clinical hours from your program carry real weight at this stage. Tailor your resume to highlight rotations, equipment you have operated, and any externship experience. Applying to hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, and urgent care groups that explicitly welcome new graduates improves your odds.
Which companies hire entry level imaging technicians?
Companies hiring entry level imaging technicians right now include Sutter Health, St. Joseph's Health, and Essentia Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from hospital systems, outpatient radiology groups, and diagnostic imaging chains that run structured onboarding programs for new graduates.
Are there remote entry level imaging technician jobs?
Yes, though most imaging roles require hands-on patient contact and equipment operation, so fully remote positions are rare at this level. About 0% of entry level imaging technician openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be in teleradiology support, scheduling coordination, or quality assurance roles rather than direct patient imaging.
Are these new grad imaging technician jobs?
Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior imaging technician roles alongside other entry level postings. A new grad friendly listing typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts clinical rotations or internships toward the requirement, and does not demand independent credentialing history. If a posting mentions a training period or sponsorship of certification costs, that is another strong signal it is built for new graduates.
Which industries hire the most entry level imaging technicians?
Entry Level imaging technician roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive entry level hiring because they operate high patient volumes and need a steady pipeline of credentialed technicians to fill shift-based schedules as experienced staff advance or move on.
