Laboratory Technician - 3rd Shift

As a Laboratory Technician at IDEXX, you will help to sort, tag, and prepare the samples for testing. The samples that we work with are blood, urine, fecal samples, and biopsies that we receive from the vet clinics (no animals on-site!) Every sample you help to move along quickly and accurately in the process means we are one step closer to finding out how or why they might be sick.

Thanks to you, someone's very beloved pet will get the treatment plan they need - how great is that?

Please note that the start date for this position will be between December 15th and December 31st. This is a full-time position with excellent day-one benefits.
