The Work Environment
This role is based in a lab and warehouse setting. It requires fine finger dexterity for most of the shift, close-range vision (corrected is fine), reaching with the hands and arms for extended periods, and occasionally lifting up to 40 lbs. Probes arrive from clinical use, so you’ll follow cleaning and safe-handling protocols. An insurable driving record is required.
