Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Medical Laboratory Technician with our dedicated Laboratory travel team, where your expertise translates into tangible patient impact every day. This is more than a assignment—it’s a chance to refine your technique, broaden your clinical perspective, and contribute to high-stakes diagnostics across diverse settings. You’ll work at the forefront of clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, andおquality control, applying precise testing, meticulous specimen handling, and rigorous data reporting to support clinicians and improve outcomes. This opportunity invites skilled professionals who thrive in dynamic environments, value continuous learning, and are excited to explore new corners of the country. If you’ve ever envisioned a career that blends professional growth with the freedom to discover new places, this travel-based Laboratory assignment is for you. Ohio’s own Zanesville offers a welcoming base—an ideal starting point for a journey that can take you to additional locations across the United States. Ohio is a mosaic of natural beauty and cultural charm: the rolling hills of the Appalachian region, the tranquil shores of Lake Erie, the limestone vistas and state parks that showcase the Midwest’s distinctive landscape, and a warm, community-centered atmosphere in Zanesville itself. Beyond your clinical impact, you’ll have opportunities to experience Ohio’s scenic corners, historic neighborhoods, and vibrant local events, making every week both professionally rewarding and personally enriching.
Location benefits are substantial in this role. Zanesville combines affordability and convenience with access to outdoor recreation and a compact, friendly community feel. You’ll be part of a supportive team that values precision, reliability, and collaboration, with the option to work in multiple U.S. locations through our travel network. Each assignment delivers exposure to different lab platforms, instrumentation, and regulatory environments, accelerating your professional growth and expanding your technical repertoire. Travel-friendly housing options and logistical support are streamlined to minimize downtime and maximize your time for mastery, exploration, and rest. Whether you’re collaborating with seasoned pathologists or engaging with cross-disciplinary teams, you’ll gain insights into how laboratory results shape treatment plans, hospital workflows, and public health initiatives. In Ohio you can enjoy quick drives to scenic getaways, farmers markets, and cultural sites, while the broader travel component unlocks experiences you won’t find in a single fixed setting.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to attract talented Medical Laboratory Technicians who value both stability and exciting challenges. Your responsibilities include performing routine and specialized laboratory analyses across core disciplines, preparing and validating patient specimens, operating and maintaining analytical instruments, and conducting rigorous quality control and assurance procedures. You’ll document results accurately, review critical values, troubleshoot instrument issues, and participate in proactive problem-solving to enhance turnaround times and result reliability. You’ll collaborate with phlebotomy, nursing, and physician teams to ensure seamless patient care, while upholding strict safety, compliance, and documentation standards. This role also offers a clear path for professional growth within the Medical Laboratory Technician specialty—from advanced instrumentation and method development to leadership in quality programs or supervisory tracks. We emphasize continuing education, cross-training opportunities, and certifications that can accelerate your advancement.
Competitive benefits are a cornerstone of this opportunity. In addition to a compelling weekly pay range of 1,948 to 2,137, you’ll have access to a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the possibility of contract extensions that align with your career goals. The structure supports sustainable earning while you gain diverse experience across settings. A guaranteed 36 hours per week provides financial consistency and a reliable workload as you plan your schedule. You’ll also receive comprehensive support from our travel services team—24/7 assistance while you’re on assignment—to help with housing, transportation, or any on-the-ground needs that arise during travel. This level of ongoing support ensures you can focus on delivering precise laboratory results while feeling secure and supported, no matter where your next assignment takes you.
Company values are demonstrated through a strong commitment to empowering staff. We champion career advancement, recognize expertise, and cultivate a supportive work environment where colleagues mentor one another and celebrate each milestone. You’ll be part of a culture that prioritizes safety, quality, and professional development, with resources designed to help you grow—from hands-on training and skill-building workshops to pathways for certification and leadership opportunities. The emphasis on collaboration and continuous improvement means your ideas and clinical expertise are valued, enabling you to contribute meaningfully to patient outcomes while expanding your own capabilities.
