Are you a skilled and passionate Veterinarian eager to specialize in bovine health? Join Our Team and What We'll Accomplish Together TELUS Cattle Professional Services Inc. provides veterinary consulting and digital solutions that help beef and dairy producers optimize herd health, profitability, and sustainability. As a veterinarian on our team, you'll combine clinical expertise with data-driven insights to deliver actionable recommendations to cattle producers across Alberta and beyond. We work alongside producers to establish more efficient, sustainable, and traceable food systems—from breeding and health management through to market outcomes. You'll help clients navigate the complexities of modern cattle production: balancing animal welfare, economic returns, regulatory compliance, and environmental impact. Our role is to be trusted advisors, not just service providers. We partner closely with producers to implement protocols that work for their specific operations, monitor results, and continuously refine recommendations based on herd performance and market conditions. Our team is lean and cooperative, bringing together veterinarians, nutritionists, and other professionals all focused on delivering world-class service to our clients. We're based across Southern Alberta, with regular travel to producer operations across Alberta and occasionally to the United States. You'll manage direct client relationships, coordinate closely with the consultant team on complex herd health strategies, and mentor farm staff and veterinary assistants on-site. We're passionate about the work we do and committed to helping producers succeed.
