Environmental Aerosol Sample Preparation Technician — Air Silica

TOPS Staffing
Monroeville, PA

Is this the hands-on lab role you’ve been waiting for?

If you’re energized by careful measurements, clean data, and teamwork, you’ll feel right at home in our Analytical Air Silica Department. This is an entry-level opportunity to master core lab skills and contribute to analysis that supports safety and compliance.

Ask yourself:

  • Do precise tasks like weighing, ashing, and filtering sound satisfying?
  • Are you comfortable navigating Windows OS and working in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook?
  • Are you detail-obsessed, proactive, and able to communicate clearly?

If you said “yes,” here’s what you’ll do:

  • Prepare and process air-related samples using established techniques (weighing, ashing, filtering).
  • Operate laboratory instruments following standard procedures and best practices.
  • Capture, organize, and review data to help ensure accuracy and traceability.
  • Follow safety guidelines consistently and support a tidy, well-run lab.
  • Collaborate with teammates and adapt as priorities shift.

Must-haves

  • High school diploma (associate degree preferred).
  • Basic familiarity with sample preparation steps such as weighing, ashing, and filtering.
  • Proficiency with Windows OS and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
  • Attention to detail, a proactive approach, and effective communication skills.

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience operating laboratory instruments or performing equipment maintenance.
  • Knowledge of NIOSH methodologies (0500, 0600, 7500).
  • Experience in analytical or environmental testing.

Education and exposure

  • High school diploma is required; an associate degree and relevant experience are a plus.
  • Prior exposure to sample preparation or lab procedures is beneficial but not necessary.

How you’ll thrive

  • Bring a safety-first mindset and follow guidelines without compromise.
  • Learn quickly, ask great questions, and contribute to a collaborative, team-focused culture.
