Job Description

Job Position: Laboratory Technician

Facility Address: Decatur, IL

Contract based of 4 Months contract to Hire

Shift Information:3rd Shift and Rotating Shift

Job Description:

The entry level position is designed to train the new technician on one of the four (4) analytical aisles in the QC laboratory. In this role, they will prepare process and/or finished product samples; perform analytical testing using instrumental and wet chemistry procedures, and record results using computerized data systems. The entry level Laboratory Technician must have completed training on one aisle prior to their transition to the Laboratory Technician I position.

Aside from learning the skills necessary for advancement to the next level the entry level technician must also:

Complete both plant and laboratory safety orientations

Work safely to prevent on-the-job injuries by complying with all department and plant safety policies

React immediately to eliminate any hazards, unsafe equipment and/or acts. Additionally insures that any accidents, injuries and near misses are reported immediately to area supervision

Perform at least one Laboratory Safety audit per month

Complete at minimum 3 safety engagements each month

Willingness and ability to work within the time demands of a 24/7/365 workday operation

Demonstrate sufficient math skills to perform calculations associated with lab testing

Demonstrate ability to accept instruction, coaching, and constructive criticism as tools for continuous improvement

Demonstrate computer skills

Perform other duties as assigned by quality department management

Each employee should possess a solid understanding of a laboratory environment and a working knowledge of cGMP, FDA, and other regulatory requirements. Familiarity with Laboratory Instrumentation including HPLC, GC, and IC is beneficial. New technicians are certified in each area around 60-90 days from when they begin working an aisle alone. Laboratory Technician III and Supervision members watch them perform required tests to ensure they have been properly trained prior to sign off. The Entry Level Laboratory Technician position requires no previous laboratory experience, but completion of a college science lab is preferred. Experience in lieu of college laboratory experience will be considered on a case by case basis.

Ideally I would like someone with a background in science with schooling or work experience. This not a requirement, however, it just aides in faster training and qualification of technicians. If they have work experience in a faster paced field that will work as well, someone who can multitask easily can also do this job well. We also look at how long they worked at each previous job, if there is a pattern of less than 6 months at each job, we are less likely to interview although not always. Given the nature of our schedule which is less desirable, we are looking for those who are more likely to stay in a job for a longer period of time.
