Instrumentation Technician

About the role

Labs only deliver when their instruments do. As an Instrumentation technician, you'll keep the equipment behind our clients' research, quality, and operations accurate, compliant, and running. You'll calibrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair laboratory instruments, and you'll keep the documentation audit-ready. You'll partner daily with laboratory staff, OEM vendors, facilities teams, and quality/compliance personnel, so strong communication matters as much as technical skill.
