Technician II Labs

The Laboratory Technician II provides hands-on bench and operational support that keeps analytical testing moving accurately and on time. This role handles sample receipt and preparation, glassware and consumable readiness, reagent and media support, and routine instrument upkeep — the foundational work that every analytical result depends on.

Building on the fundamentals of a Technician I, the Technician II executes routine tasks independently an takes on more varied and non-routine work with guidance. This role sits at the front end of the test workflow, where careful technique, accurate documentation, and reliable follow-through directly affect turnaround time and data quality.
We are looking for someone dependable and detail-oriented who takes pride in doing careful work, keeps the lab organized and stocked, and communicates clearly when something isn't right — a steady contributor the bench team can count on.
