As a successful candidate, you will:

• Perform high-volume specimen processing, including labeling, centrifugation, routing, and preparation for in-house and send-out testing.
• Draw blood using appropriate techniques and equipment, observing patient safety and following established procedures.
• Collect, label, and transport specimens, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and proper handling across all specimen types.
• Troubleshoot and document specimen and workflow issues; maintain logs such as maintenance and temperature records.
• Support daily operations by greeting patients, processing lab orders, assisting with staff assignments, and mentoring new team members.
• Collaborate with team members to meet departmental goals, provide weekend oversight as needed, and contribute to special projects and scheduling.
