Job description

Aquatek Labs | Woodbridge, Connecticut Part-time, 10 to 30 hours per week | Daytime hours | Company vehicle provided | No CDL required

About Aquatek Labs

For nearly 40 years, Aquatek Labs has been a trusted environmental testing laboratory serving Connecticut and the surrounding region. We test water and radon for homeowners, home inspection firms, water treatment companies, and public water supplies, and we are certified in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New York. Our work helps families and communities know their water is safe.

About the Role

Our couriers are the link between our customers and our lab. You will drive a company-supplied vehicle on a daily route, picking up water and radon samples from customer sites and delivering them to our Woodbridge laboratory. Test results depend on samples arriving intact and within required holding times, so this is a job where showing up on schedule genuinely matters.

This is a good fit for someone who likes working independently, enjoys being on the road, and wants steady daytime hours with no evening or overnight work. Most of your day is spent driving and making brief, friendly stops. We provide the vehicle, the fuel, and the training.

Handle samples carefully and follow chain of custody and preservation procedures. We train you on all of this.

Keep accurate pickup records and paperwork for each stop.

Reliable and self-directed. Our customers count on these pickups happening on time, without supervision.
