The ideal candidate has experience in fast-paced, high-volume environments.

Human Lab Background:
Candidates from large labs like LabCorp or Quest—or high-volume hospitals—tend to do well. Strong fits include processors, accessioners, and phlebotomists.

Vet Tech/Assistant Background:
Vet professionals can be great if they also have recent fast-paced experience (e.g., Amazon, FedEx, fulfillment, or food service). Those from smaller clinics may struggle with our production pace.

Recent Biology Grads:
Must have fast-paced work experience; purely research-based backgrounds are typically not a match.

No Lab Experience:
Must be willing to handle blood, urine, fecals, and biopsies and have fast-paced, on-your-feet work history (food service, warehouse, fulfillment, Amazon/FedEx, production, etc.).

What You Need to Succeed:
• Ability to read and interpret documents such as safety rules, standard operating procedures (SOPs), material safety data sheets (MSDSs), operating and maintenance instructions, government rules and technical procedures.
• Ability to prioritize and multi-task
• Strong initiative and follow through
• Attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and as a team contributor
• Must demonstrate a high level of customer service
• Good computer skills: Microsoft Office and SAP preferred
• You meet the physical requirements that go with working as a Lab Associate – May transport hazardous waste within the facility and may occasionally lift and move up to 25 pounds.
