- Develop and maintain a procedure management program, coordinating biannual updates with the Laboratory Director and ensuring timely staff acknowledgment and sign-off.
- Oversee proficiency testing data submission and results review.
- Track and maintain laboratory equipment, managing calibration schedules, maintenance needs, and repair coordination to ensure full operational readiness.
