We’re seeking a highly motivated Lab Technologist to join our team. You will be responsible for conducting rigorous materials testing, ensuring accuracy in data collection, and contributing to our mission of providing businesses with the best data possible. Inspired by historic trailblazers in science—like Marie Curie’s dedication to radioactive material study or Robert Koch’s breakthroughs in microbiology—you will bring the same precision and commitment to your work at Tundra Testing. Your role is vital to Alaska’s growing industries, as your findings will help inform critical operational decisions. Responsibilities: • Perform chemical compound analysis, including potency testing and AMCO compliance, following established protocols. • Utilize advanced technologies such as gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze water, soil, and various materials. • Employ techniques such as Flame Ionization Detection (FID) to evaluate contaminants and ensure the safety of materials. • Collaborate with senior scientists and management to ensure test accuracy and efficiency, reminiscent of the teamwork seen in early scientific expeditions. • Meticulously document procedures, results, and observations, following the attention to detail demonstrated in historic lab notebooks, like those of Thomas Edison or Rosalind Franklin. • Prepare and maintain laboratory equipment, ensuring the instruments are calibrated and functioning optimally, much like early researchers who pioneered precision through hands-on maintenance of their tools. • Assist in sample collection, field testing, and preparation, contributing to real-world applications, similar to the pioneering fieldwork of early environmental scientists. • Follow strict safety guidelines, ensuring compliance with state regulations and industry best practices, just as early labs set standards for safe and ethical practices in scientific research. Qualifications: • Education: High school diploma or equivalent (required); associate or bachelor’s degree in chemistry, biology, environmental science, or a related field (preferred). • Experience: Prior laboratory experience preferred; familiarity with analytical equipment such as HPLC and GC is a plus. • Skills: Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and ability to work independently or as part of a team. • Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 25 lbs., stand for extended periods, and perform tasks in a laboratory environment. • Character: Inspired by scientists who embraced ethical practices and selfless service, we value respect, teamwork, and a commitment to high-quality results. Compensation: $100,000 yearly
