Hamilton, MT
Contracted
Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist in the heart of Montana, with a special opportunity in Hamilton that blends scientific rigor with the unmatched beauty of the state. In this role, your precise measurements, keen eye for quality, and deep understanding of clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and immunology will directly influence patient outcomes and drive effective treatment plans. Envision a career where every run, every validation, and every result supports clinicians, empowers families, and strengthens the communities you serve. As you prepare to make an impact starting 03/23/2026, you’ll find a pathway that respects your expertise, offers steady growth, and keeps you engaged through multiple weeks of meaningful work with extension options. This assignment comes with a competitive weekly pay range of $1,601–$1,742 and guaranteed 40 hours per week, plus extensive support designed for traveling professionals. And while you contribute at the lab bench, you’ll also have the chance to revel in the remarkable landscapes of Montana, from prairie horizons to rugged peaks, inviting you to explore outdoor adventures during days off or after shifts.
Montana’s landscapes are legendary, and Hamilton sits at a crossroads of natural beauty and community spirit. The region offers access to the Bitterroot Mountain corridor, lush valleys, and scenic rivers that invite hiking, fishing, skiing, and exploration. If you ever crave variety, this role also accommodates opportunities to travel to other locations across the United States, expanding your professional footprint while preserving the same high standards of care you bring to the laboratory. The state’s wide skies and clean air provide a refreshing backdrop for your best work, and the small-town feel of Hamilton supports meaningful connections with colleagues, patients, and families you’ll come to know well.
Location Benefits:
- Work in a charming Montana setting with access to outdoor recreation, local farms and markets, and a close-knit healthcare community that values precision and empathy.
- The chance to support patients and clinicians in Hamilton while enjoying proximity to broader regional hubs for occasional professional networking and skill-building.
- Optional cross-site assignments across the U.S. that broaden exposure to diverse lab platforms, instrumentation, and workflows while maintaining consistent, supportive supervision.
- Competitive compensation, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that recognize the value of your specialized expertise in clinical laboratory science.
- A robust travel support network offering 24/7 assistance, ensuring you’re never alone on the road, in the lab, or during transitions between assignments.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Key responsibilities include performing, validating, and interpreting a broad spectrum of clinical laboratory tests across hematology, chemistry, microbiology, immunology, and transfusion medicine. You’ll ensure accurate specimen processing, rigorous quality control, instrument maintenance, and compliance with CLIA, CAP, and state regulations.
- You will troubleshoot analytical issues, initiate corrective actions, and document all results with clarity for clinicians. Your role includes verifying new methods, mentoring junior technologists, and contributing to proficiency testing, performance improvement initiatives, and patient-safety programs.
- Professional growth is central: expect cross-training opportunities on advanced analyzers, automation platforms, and data analytics. The organization supports career advancement into lead technologist roles, specialty tracks, and quality assurance leadership as you demonstrate expertise and consistency.
- Benefits emphasize value: sign-on bonuses, housing assistance for travel assignments, and extension opportunities to deepen your lab leadership and procedural mastery. You’ll have access to continuing education stipends and structured performance reviews tied to career progression.
- You’ll never face travel challenges alone: the company provides 24/7 support for traveling clinicians, a dedicated field coordinator, and a secure channel for issue resolution, emergencies, or schedule adjustments.
Company Values:
The organization is committed to empowering staff with respect, clear career pathways, and a collaborative culture. Expect a supportive environment that honors your professional voice, encourages ongoing learning, and recognizes your contributions to patient care. This is a place where teamwork, integrity, and patient-centered service define daily practice, and where the lab team is valued as a critical partner in the broader clinical team.

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to join a company that respects your expertise, provides meaningful growth opportunities, and supports you every step of the way as you advance in your field.
