Veterinary Technician – Atlas Veterinary Urgent Care

Where strength, compassion, and trust lead the way.

Are you looking to make a real impact in an environment that values high-quality care and a supportive team culture? Atlas Veterinary Urgent Care is a brand-new, independently owned urgent care clinic opening September 2025 in Augusta, ME and we’re on the lookout for compassionate, skilled Veterinary Technicians (LVT or experienced non-LVT) who want to be part of something meaningful from the start.
