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:

- 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.

- 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.

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.
