UPMC Presbyterian is hiring a full-time EKG Technician to join our growing department

The EKG Technician will perform electrocardiographic testing/signal averaging and Holter monitor/Event Monitor testing as a service to inpatients and outpatients of the UPMC Health System and perform necessary support functions to complete the testing and report procedures.

**Responsibilities:**

+ Manage daily care and maintenance of expensive digital transmitting electrocardiographic equipment.

+ Interact with vendors on monitor readings, supplies and equipment returns.

+ Rotate shifts and work weekends, holidays and double shifts as assigned by the supervisor and per department policy.
