Job Description:

Schedule: Tuesday-Saturday 1400-2230

At Vitalant, our Hospital Delivery team plays a critical role in ensuring hospitals and healthcare facilities receive the lifesaving blood products their patients depend on. As a Hospital Delivery Technician, you’ll safely and accurately transport blood and blood products between Vitalant locations and hospital partners throughout the service area. More than a traditional driving or courier role, you’ll serve as a direct representative of Vitalant, handling temperature-sensitive products in a highly regulated healthcare environment while providing dependable, professional service and responding to time-sensitive needs.

As a Hospital Delivery Technician, your impact is Vital! Every delivery supports patient care, whether supplying blood for routine treatment, scheduled procedures or urgent situations such as trauma, surgery or other serious medical conditions. Hospitals rely on Vitalant to provide safe, accurate and timely delivery of blood products, and Hospital Delivery Technicians are an essential part of that mission. While you may never meet the patients you help, the work you do every day can have a direct impact on saving and improving lives throughout your community.

What You’ll Do

Every delivery you make supports a hospital and ultimately a patient who may be waiting for the blood products you’re transporting. In this role, you will:

• Pick up, verify and deliver routine, time-sensitive and STAT blood product orders, ensuring correct products, documentation and destination information while meeting established delivery requirements.
• Maintain proper handling, chain of custody and temperature-control requirements for blood products throughout transportation to ensure product quality, safety and regulatory compliance.
• Safely load, secure and unload blood products, supplies and equipment, following standard operating procedures and delivery confirmation processes.
• Accurately document and track deliveries, pickups and transportation activities using established systems while maintaining confidentiality, professionalism and attention to detail.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively with hospital staff, Distribution teams and other internal partners to coordinate deliveries, manage changing priorities and provide excellent customer service as a Vitalant representative.
• Operate Vitalant vehicles safely by performing routine vehicle inspections, following traffic laws and safety requirements, and adapting to changing routes, weather, traffic conditions and urgent delivery needs.

Benefits

When you join Vitalant, you’ll experience a career built on purpose, an organization created to care and a team committed to making a difference together. Our total rewards package will support you, your family, and your future with:

• Employee recognition and service award programs
• Discounted event tickets, gym memberships, Hinge Health support, and exclusive employee offers.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t necessarily need previous healthcare or blood banking experience to be successful in this position. Many of the skills needed for this role can come from professional driving, courier services, delivery, transportation, logistics, customer service, healthcare support or other jobs where reliability and attention to detail are important.

Successful Hospital Delivery Technicians are typically people who:
