Elmhurst, New York, United States IDEXX Full time

As a temporary Laboratory Assistant at IDEXX, you will be assisting with some of the many tasks vital to the running of our network of Reference Labs. We receive thousands of clinical samples (blood, urine, fecal 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. In this role, you will be helping to sort, tag, and prepare veterinary samples for testing. 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 the pet might be sick. Thanks to you, someone's very beloved pet will get the treatment plan they need - how great is that?

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.

In This Role:

  • We have needs in many areas of the lab.
  • You might be unbagging, sorting, tagging, or moving clinical samples around the laboratory.
  • You may be entering the important data for the samples into the computer system.
  • You may be restocking supplies, such as chemicals or slide trays.
  • You could be helping to load analyzers with slides of samples.
  • You might be assisting with inventory counts.
  • You will be asked to help in out many ways – and your help is needed

Pay & Schedule:

  • Hourly rates targeting: $21.85
  • This is a 90 day temporary position where you will be working 40 hours / week. The scheduled shifts will likely be 1:00 am -9:30 am, Tuesday morning-Saturday morning, or 11:30 pm - 8:00 am Monday - Friday with a possible Saturday rotation.
  • Sometimes during our busy season, we ask workers if they would be able to work overtime, and stay until the work is complete.
  • The shifts and hours may vary slightly depending on business needs.
  • Reliable and dependable attendance is an essential function of the position.

What You Will Need to Succeed:

  • You are able and willing to work the schedule above on the night shift.
  • You are reliable and flexible – attendance is an essential function of the position.
  • A willingness to work with and around veterinary samples, including blood, urine, fecal and biopsies.
  • You are excited to work in a fast-paced, high volume busy work environment.
  • You can read and interpret documents such as safety rules, standard operating procedures (SOPs), material safety data sheets (MSDSs), operating and maintenance instructions, government rules, and technical procedures.
  • You must have a demonstrated ability to prioritize and multi-task.
  • You possess strong initiative and follow through with outstanding attention to detail.
  • You are able to work independently and as a team contributor.
  • You have demonstrated a high level of customer service.
  • Able to meet the physical requirements that go with working in a lab – standing and sitting for extended periods of time, ability to move or maneuver through various departments around the lab, use of hands, fingers, and arms to handle microscopes, pipettes, lab instruments and controls, occasional need to climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl, lift up to 25lb, and specific vision ability – close, color, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.
  • This is a laboratory, so there is potential exposure to biohazards, agents known to cause zoonotic diseases, and hazardous chemicals.
