Your Opportunity

The Alberta Breast Cancer Screening Program at PCA has an exciting opportunity for a Mammography Technologist I in the Screen Test team providing services at over 120 locations across Alberta.

 Join a dedicated, passionate team where you’ll facilitate mobile mammography clinics and perform mammograms at mobile sites, helping improve access to screening and screening rates for Albertans. While performing high quality mammographic exams, you’ll be responsible for the operation and monitoring of all mobile equipment and trailer systems at all mobile sites, including fleet vehicles.

Your strong attention to detail, ability to communicate effectively with the home base staff remotely, and independent critical thinking and problem-solving skills will excel in this role as you monitor trailer and mammography systems, troubleshoot issues that arise within a remote clinic environment, and perform quality control tests on mammography units.

This role includes reviewing schedules, purchasing supplies, arranging services and cleaning of mobile vehicles, picking up and dropping off paperwork and supplies, assisting other staff members, completing tech audits, and attending meetings.

This rewarding position is ideal for those who enjoy variety, new challenges, and the opportunity to travel. You’ll work a compressed work week with extended work days (3 x 12-hour shifts per rotation, plus 2.75 unscheduled hours), where out-of-town and overnight travel is required, providing more days off during the week. Daily per diems are provided for mobile clinic work: $60 pro-rated per day, plus $7.35 per 24-hour travel period.

You may occasionally work in the Calgary Screen Test administrative office. This role also involves transporting supplies to the mobile clinic and requires the ability to lift and carry supplies weighing up to 25 lbs up stairs.
