Job Description:

EMG / Nerve Conduction Technologist

Fayetteville, NC or Myrtle Beach, SC | Outpatient Neurology / Healthcare | Monday–Thursday 8:00 AM–5:00 PM | Friday 8:00 AM–2:00 PM | Day Shift

Compensation: $25.00 – $45.00 / hour

Employment: Full-Time / Direct Hire

About the Opportunity

A growing outpatient neurology organization with multiple locations across the Carolinas is adding an EMG / Nerve Conduction Technologist to its clinical team. This is a focused, dedicated electrodiagnostic role — not a generalist medical assistant or clinical support position. You will perform NCS and EMG-related testing as your primary function, working directly alongside neurology providers in a stable, structured outpatient environment with no nights, no weekends, and an early Friday finish.

What You'll Do

  • Perform nerve conduction studies (NCS/NCV) and EMG-related electrodiagnostic testing in accordance with physician protocols and established clinical standards
  • Prepare patients for electrodiagnostic procedures, explain testing process clearly, and ensure patient comfort throughout
  • Obtain relevant patient history and clinical information required prior to testing
  • Place electrodes accurately and operate EMG/NCV equipment to produce high-quality, reproducible diagnostic data
  • Identify and troubleshoot technical artifacts, equipment issues, or unusual findings that may impact test integrity
  • Accurately document testing data and ensure results are recorded correctly within the patient medical record
  • Coordinate with neurologists and the broader clinical team to maintain an efficient daily testing workflow
  • Maintain, clean, and prepare electrodiagnostic equipment and testing areas in compliance with infection-control and safety protocols
  • Adhere to all HIPAA, patient confidentiality, and clinical compliance requirements

What You'll Need

  • Prior hands-on experience performing nerve conduction studies and/or EMG testing — this is the non-negotiable baseline requirement
  • Background in outpatient neurology, neurodiagnostics, electrodiagnostics, PM&R, or a related clinical environment strongly preferred
  • Formal training in electrodiagnostic or neurodiagnostic technology preferred
  • Professional certification or credentialing (ABRET, AANEM-affiliated, or equivalent) preferred; strong demonstrated experience may substitute
  • Solid working knowledge of peripheral nerve anatomy, electrode placement technique, and NCS/EMG testing methodology
  • Ability to produce technically accurate, high-quality studies with consistency
  • Strong interpersonal skills — ability to work effectively with patients experiencing pain, weakness, numbness, or other neurological symptoms
  • Excellent attention to detail, documentation discipline, and organizational skills
  • Ability to work independently while maintaining close collaboration with physicians and clinical staff

Why This Role

This is a rare opportunity to work exclusively within your electrodiagnostic specialty — no task-switching, no generalist duties — in a structured outpatient setting with a consistent Monday–Friday daytime schedule, competitive hourly compensation, and a full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) with company match.
