Job description

We are hiring IMMEDIATELY for Patient Sample Processors!
No prior experience needed! What do you need to succeed in this position?

Positive attitude, enthusiasm and high energy

Eagerness to learn

Wanting to get your foot into the laboratory field

Can work nights (most shifts are 11:30pm-8:00am)

You thrive in a high-volume, fast-paced environment

Entry-level positions start at $22/hr!

We receive thousands of clinical samples every day from Veterinary Clinics, and we run tests on those samples to help veterinarians identify what might be wrong with someone's pet. As a Sample Management Technician , (SMT), also referred to as a Patient Sample Processor or Specimen Accessioner, you'd be helping to sort, tag, and prepare the samples for testing. The samples that we work with are blood, urine, fecal samples, and biopsies that we receive from the vet clinics (no animals on-site!) Every sample you help to move along quickly and accurately in the process means we are one step closer to finding out how or why they might be sick. Thanks to you, someone's very beloved pet will get the treatment plan they need - how great is that? This is a full-time position with excellent, day-one benefits and a generous shift differential.

IDEXX reference laboratories is a global network united by a shared commitment to enhancing pet care where the true strength in our name is the people behind it. Our reference laboratories make it possible for our customers to discover more with our unrelenting commitment to innovation, personalized support, guidance, and expertise, while providing the most complete and advanced menu of diagnostic tests along with technology and tools.

You will receive, prepare, and accession veterinary samples (blood, urine, feces, and biopsies) for laboratory analysis and testing.
You can expect to remove specimens from transport bags and enter specimen data into a computer tracking system.
You will rack and bundle prepared samples for delivery to each testing department.
You will assist other lab personnel with specimen storage and ensuring that Turn Around Times (TAT's) are met.
From day one, you'll have full autonomy in your work, but you'll also get full support when you need it.
You will play a critical role as part of a successful team that is proud of the work they do and motivated by the common purpose in helping veterinarians quickly diagnose illness and disease in pets and animals.
