Weekly pay ranges from $2,878 to $3,061, with a guaranteed 36.0 hours per week, ensuring you can plan your schedule with confidence. The start date is 12/08/2025, and the duration is defined in weeks, with the potential for extension based on performance, clinical demand, and your personal preferences.

Cordova, Alaska, is a living postcard of natural beauty and frontier hospitality. Picture crystal-clear waters, emerald forests, and mountains that rise dramatically from the horizon, along with tidewater glaciers carving their path through the coastline. In this setting, you’ll find abundant opportunities to balance demanding clinical work with outdoor adventures—kayaking among pristine coves, observing serene aurora displays in winter skies, or simply enjoying the solace of a small, welcoming community after a rewarding shift. The location offers unique benefits for travelers: a slower pace that supports thoughtful patient care, a strong sense of community, and the chance to experience Alaska’s distinctive blend of culture, history, and wilderness. For those who crave variety, there can also be avenues to rotate through other locations across the United States, broadening your exposure to diverse patient populations and imaging challenges while expanding your professional footprint.
In this Ultrasound Tech role, you’ll perform diagnostic ultrasound examinations with attention to detail and patient comfort, operate and optimize advanced ultrasound equipment, and adhere to rigorous safety and quality standards. Your responsibilities will span a range of studies—from abdominal and pelvic imaging to obstetric, vascular, and musculoskeletal assessments—plus the documentation and communication of findings to radiologists and referring clinicians. You’ll contribute to efficient patient throughput, troubleshoot equipment issues, and participate in continuous quality improvement initiatives. The position offers meaningful opportunities for professional growth within radiology, including exposure to cutting-edge imaging protocols, cross-training with other modalities, and mentorship from seasoned radiologists and technologists. We emphasize proactive scheduling, patient-centered care, and the cultivation of leadership skills as you gain confidence in complex exams and fast-paced clinical environments. To recognize your expertise, the package includes a competitive incentive structure, a sign-on or performance bonus, and housing assistance designed to help you secure comfortable, convenient lodging during your assignment. Should you enjoy the location and team, there are extension opportunities that enable you to remain longer or transition to another assignment with ease, aligning with your career ambitions. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive 24/7 support as you travel with our company, with dedicated coordinators ready to assist with scheduling, credentialing, and on-site resources so you can focus on delivering exceptional imaging and compassionate patient care.
Our company values are anchored in empowering staff to chart their own path within radiology while upholding a culture of support, collaboration, and continuous growth. We are committed to fostering an environment where ultrasound technologists can pursue skill advancement, pursue subspecialty interests, and assume greater responsibilities as they demonstrate clinical excellence and teamwork. You’ll find a welcoming community that prioritizes professional development, transparent communication, and a healthy work-life balance, with resources and mentorship available at every stage of your travel journey. We recognize that your expertise is a cornerstone of patient outcomes, and we’re dedicated to removing barriers to your success, whether that means flexible scheduling, access to ongoing education, or pathways to permanent roles if that’s part of your plan.
Call to action: If you’re ready to apply your ultrasound expertise in a setting that challenges you, exposes you to diverse clinical cases, and rewards you for your dedication, this is your moment. Join a company that values your contributions and invests in your professional development, all while offering the adventure and beauty of Alaska alongside opportunities that span across the United States. Embrace the chance to grow, impact patients, and advance your career in radiology with a team that supports you every step of the way. Please note: The pay range ($2,878-$3,061) and guaranteed hours (36.0 per week) are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
