Sample Receiving Tech

We're on a mission to help people learn about their water, but we need your help! And don’t forget to include a cover letter so we understand why you’d be a good fit for this role; we won’t review your resume without one!

We are looking for a highly detail-oriented individual to start a career as a Sample Logistics Tech: Monday – Friday, 8am – 5pm. The ideal candidate will be excited about working in a highly structured environment with regular, predictable business hours and they’ll look forward to being part of a busy little team full of great people doing intrinsically good work. This person will be an extremely hard worker, have a natural curiosity about how things work, have a high attention to detail and feel comfortable in an environment where following procedure is essential for success.

We’re especially excited about candidates that have previous experience in a highly structured environment where they were focused on one task at a time but could easily jump to the next task when finished. Ultimately, a successful Sample Receiving Tech will have the ability to pay attention to all the details, know what it means to be part of a team and take ownership of all their responsibilities – making sure that samples are checked in correctly and efficiently, ensuring a smooth workflow for their downstream teammates.

This is legitimately one of the best working environments in Madison.
