X-Ray Tech Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a x-ray tech in Virginia?
You must hold an active Virginia radiologic technology license issued by the Virginia Board of Medicine before practicing in the state. To qualify, you complete an accredited associate or bachelor's degree program in radiologic technology and pass the ARRT certification exam in radiography. Virginia does not offer a license by endorsement from all states, so verify reciprocity with the Board if you hold a license elsewhere.
Which companies hire x-ray techs in Virginia?
Companies currently hiring x-ray techs in Virginia include Bon Secours, VCU Health System, and CareNow, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's largest health systems, including Inova, Sentara, and VCU Health, maintain the most consistent hiring volume across their hospital campuses and outpatient imaging networks.
Which Virginia cities have the most x-ray tech jobs?
Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Hampton have the most x-ray tech openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's concentration of large hospital campuses and ambulatory imaging centers anchors the highest volume, while Richmond and Hampton Roads reflect the footprint of major regional health systems like VCU Health and Sentara, which operate multiple facilities across those metros.
Are there remote x-ray tech jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of x-ray tech openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, since the core of the role requires hands-on patient positioning and equipment operation at a clinical site. The portions of the work most amenable to remote arrangements are image quality review, teleradiology support roles, and training or education positions at larger health systems.
How can I get hired as a x-ray tech in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate programs at Virginia's large health systems, where Inova and Sentara both run structured onboarding tracks that pair new techs with experienced staff for clinical orientation. Lateral moves from radiology aide, patient transport, or medical assistant roles within those same systems are a common way to build imaging department familiarity before moving into a tech position. Completing your ARRT certification before your first application and securing your Virginia Board of Medicine license immediately after graduation gives you a clear edge over candidates still awaiting credentials.
Where can I find and apply to x-ray tech jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to x-ray tech jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings across hospitals, outpatient centers, and imaging practices. Search the listings for roles that match your credentials and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
