Veterinary surgeon job openings in Portland, OR

This page does not list open roles. BEGHR recruits veterinary surgeons for veterinary employers. Send your resume and a recruiter will contact you when a search matches what you want.

Run your search on more than one channel

A recruiter covers the roles they are engaged on. That is a slice of the market, not all of it, so treat this as one channel among several.

• Tell BEGHR the geography you would genuinely move for.
• Say what you will not accept, so you are not put forward for it.
• Keep looking elsewhere while your details sit with a recruiter.

What to send

A recruiter can only act on what you actually tell them. Give enough that a role can be matched to you without a second round of questions.

• Your resume, the role you want and the geography you would work in.
• The states you hold a license in, and your availability.
• Anything that rules a role out, such as no overnights or no relocation.

Working in the Portland area

Name the street address, city and county, and keep Portland neighborhoods separate from suburban cities. Several places cross county lines: Portland reaches Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties, Lake Oswego reaches all three, and Tualatin, Wilsonville and Milwaukie each reach two. Aloha and Bethany are census designated places, not cities. Coverage on this site is limited to Oregon; a hospital in Washington State, including Vancouver and Camas, falls under a different licensing authority.

Plan Oregon credential checks before the start date.

Oregon licenses veterinarians, certified veterinary technicians and certified euthanasia technicians through the Oregon Veterinary Medical Examining Board. Assign a person to verify license status and the expiration date in the Board’s licensee directory, record the verification date and resolve questions with the Board. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
