Center for Specialty Surgery | Portland, Oregon
Center for Specialty Surgery (CSS) is seeking an experienced X Ray Supervisor to lead radiology services supporting orthopedic surgery and interventional pain procedures.
Why Join CSS?
At Center for Specialty Surgery, this is more than an X Ray position. It is an opportunity to take ownership of a specialized radiology program while remaining actively involved in patient care.
As our X Ray Supervisor, you will work directly with orthopedic surgeons and interventional pain physicians, lead and develop the radiology team, and have a meaningful voice in how the department operates.
What makes CSS different:
- Stay clinical while growing as a leader. This is a true working supervisor role. You will continue using your technical skills in the OR and interventional pain setting while leading the department.
- Specialize in procedural imaging. Work primarily with orthopedic surgery and interventional pain rather than rotating through a large imaging department.
- Have real ownership. Oversee department workflow, scheduling, radiation safety, equipment readiness, staff development, competencies, and quality initiatives.
- Work directly with physicians and clinical/administrative leadership. You will be an integral member of the surgical team and have the opportunity to influence how radiology services are delivered.
If you are an experienced radiologic technologist who wants the next step in your career without leaving the clinical environment behind, this may be the right opportunity.
This is a working supervisor position for an experienced radiologic technologist who enjoys both hands-on clinical work and department leadership. The X Ray Supervisor works directly alongside surgeons, pain management physicians, nurses, and surgical staff while overseeing the day-to-day operations, safety, quality, scheduling, and development of the radiology team.
The right candidate will be confident operating C-arm equipment in a fast-paced procedural environment and equally comfortable providing direction, solving problems, coaching staff, and maintaining high standards for radiation safety and regulatory compliance.
