Nuclear Medicine Technologist Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nuclear medicine technologist in Colorado?
Colorado requires nuclear medicine technologists to hold certification from either the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists in nuclear medicine, known as ARRT(N), or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board, known as NMTCB. Both require completing an accredited nuclear medicine technology program at the associate or bachelor's level. Colorado does not issue a separate state license for the role, so employers verify national certification directly before hiring.
How much do nuclear medicine technologists make in Colorado?
Nuclear medicine technologists in Colorado earn a median of about $116,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $94,950 for the lowest 10% to over $132,580 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nuclear medicine technologists in Colorado?
Companies currently hiring nuclear medicine technologists in Colorado include UCHealth, American Traveler, and Community Hospital, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's Front Range health systems drive most of the volume, with large academic medical centers and regional hospital networks posting the most consistent openings.
Which Colorado cities have the most nuclear medicine technologist jobs?
Aurora, Denver, and Loveland have the most nuclear medicine technologist openings in Colorado. Denver anchors the majority of postings due to its concentration of large hospital systems and academic medical centers, while Colorado Springs and Aurora generate steady demand through regional network hospitals and outpatient imaging facilities serving the southern Front Range and suburban east metro areas.
Are there remote nuclear medicine technologist jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. About 13% of nuclear medicine technologist openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, which reflects how hands-on the role is by nature. The small share of remote work in this field tends to involve nuclear medicine education, teleradiology review, or compliance and quality assurance roles rather than direct patient imaging.
How can I get hired as a nuclear medicine technologist in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate positions at large Front Range health systems such as UCHealth and SCL Health, both of which periodically post new-grad imaging roles and offer structured onboarding for candidates fresh out of accredited programs. Lateral moves from radiologic technology or radiation therapy can also open doors, especially when paired with ARRT(N) or NMTCB certification in progress. Completing a clinical rotation at a Colorado facility during your program strengthens your application considerably.
Where can I find and apply to nuclear medicine technologist jobs in Colorado?
