Certified Pharmacy Technician

Welcome to Ortiz Pharmacy, a family-run business with a rich history dating back to 1930. Our story begins with Victor S. Ortiz, R.Ph., a newly licensed pharmacist filled with enthusiasm to serve his community. He started his journey at Meier’s Pharmacy, nestled on the corner of Houston and Frio, a place that later relocated to Commerce and Frio. His commitment to healthcare remained steadfast through all these transitions.

In 1956, Victor S. Ortiz took a leap of faith and established Ortiz Pharmacy. His zealous love for community healthcare was contagious and inspired his son, Victor C. Ortiz, R.Ph., who, like his father, became a licensed pharmacist 37 years later in 1967. The tale didn't end there; the next generation, represented by Victor C. Ortiz’s daughter, Alejandra Ortiz, Pharm.D., continued the family legacy, earning her pharmacist license in 2004, marking another 37-year milestone.

Presently, Alejandra and Victor C. Ortiz are at the helm of Ortiz Pharmacy, working diligently side by side, preserving and strengthening the Ortiz Pharmacy legacy that has thrived for over 50 years.

At Ortiz Pharmacy, we take immense pride in the close-knit relationships we've nurtured with our patients over the years. We're moved by the unwavering loyalty of many who've been with us since our inception, and we feel honored to be the healthcare choice for numerous families across generations. The faith our community places in us inspires us to serve with even greater dedication.

Ortiz Pharmacy is more than just a pharmacy; it's a tradition rooted in family and community care, and we warmly invite you to join our extended family.

Ortiz Pharmacy, a proud independent pharmacy serving the San Antonio community for over 50 years, is looking for a Pharmacy Technician to support our pharmacists in prescription management and customer service. Our Pharmacy Technician will have the opportunity to work in a unique environment that values close relationships with patients and provides a higher level of service than typical chain pharmacies. Responsibilities include receiving, preparing, and filling prescriptions, managing inventory, maintaining a clean and organized work environment, and delivering excellent customer service. The Pharmacy Technician must effectively communicate with customers and coworkers, comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies, and contribute to the legacy of Ortiz Pharmacy by continuing to provide our community with the personalized care that has been our hallmark for over half a century.

Your workspace will be your pride, and we expect you to maintain a clean and organized environment.

Your Skills and Qualifications:

You'll be certified and registered as required by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy and hold a high school diploma or equivalent. Experience in a retail setting would be a bonus.

You'll need to be comfortable with basic math and proficient in using the Internet, inventory software, order processing systems, and other essential computer programs.
