You’ll work at the heart of modern healthcare, partnering with clinicians to deliver timely, accurate insights that influence treatment plans and outcomes.

Role specifics and benefits: In this role you will perform specimen processing, analyzer operation, quality control, data entry, and result verification under CLIA and CAP guidelines. You’ll troubleshoot instrumentation, maintain instrument logs, and participate in proficiency testing and safety programs. You’ll interpret and document findings, collaborate with pathologists and clinicians, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance lab efficiency and patient safety. The position offers competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,294 to $1,379, with start date 01/20/2026 and duration measured in weeks, plus zero guaranteed hours, providing flexibility to align with your availability and career goals. The package includes a bonus opportunity, housing assistance, and potential extension opportunities to maximize earnings and stability. Comprehensive support is available 24/7 for traveling teammates, including onboarding guidance, travel logistics, and access to on-call assistance whenever you need it. You’ll also gain exposure to a spectrum of testing modalities—from core chemistry and hematology to microbiology and molecular workflows—broadening your clinical repertoire while keeping you at the forefront of laboratory medicine.
Company values: We’re committed to empowering our staff, investing in your growth, and fostering a collaborative, supportive work environment. You’ll find mentorship, continuing education opportunities, and a clear path for career advancement as you expand your expertise in clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and molecular testing as your interests dictate.
