Nuclear Medicine Technologist resume template
A clean starting structure with example content grounded in what nuclear medicine technologists actually do day to day, not generic filler. Download and replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Which resume format should you use?
Reverse chronological
You have a steady work history. This is the format almost every recruiter and ATS expects by default.
Functional
You're changing fields or have gaps in your employment. Leads with skills rather than a job-by-job timeline.
Combination
You're early career or have worked consistently but for only a few employers. Blends a skills summary with a shorter chronological history.
This template uses the reverse chronological format: the one most nuclear medicine technologists should default to, since most Australian recruiters and ATS software expect it.

- Operated gamma cameras and PET/CT scanners for oncology, cardiac and thyroid studies, reducing repeat scans by improving patient positioning and clear pre-scan instructions.
- Processed and analysed images using Siemens syngo.via and GE HealthCare Xeleris, passing preliminary findings to nuclear medicine physicians within agreed reporting timeframes.
- Maintained radiation safety by monitoring dose rates, handling radioactive materials and waste according to departmental protocols and ARPANSA guidance.
- Trained new staff and students in scanner setup and infection control, cutting common errors in patient preparation across the team.
- Worked with radiographers and nurses to coordinate scanning lists, lowering patient wait times from over an hour to under 30 minutes.
Education
Bachelor of Nuclear Medicine Technology or Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Nuclear Medicine) from an accredited Australian university, followed by registration with the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia through AHPRA. Some technologists enter with a postgraduate qualification after a related science or health degree.

Getting past ATS screening
- Match the specific skills, certifications and terms used in the job ad, not just your own wording for the same thing.
- Keep formatting simple: no tables, text boxes, columns, headers/footers or graphics. Parsers frequently drop content placed in these.
- Submit as .docx or PDF unless the job ad specifies otherwise.
- Use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) rather than creative alternatives.
- List your core skills and technical competencies in their own section so a keyword scan can find them instantly.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Tailor every bullet point to your own real experience and the specific job ad.
