Laboratory Manager

About Us

At GEMTEC, we offer something different. We’re an employee‑owned, 400‑person multidisciplinary consulting firm— not too big, not too small. We’re large enough to compete head‑to‑head with publicly traded engineering giants, but still small enough to maintain the culture and flexibility of a close‑knit team. Our size and hands‑on management style let us move quickly, embrace new opportunities, and empower our people to shape their own careers—without getting lost in corporate bureaucracy.
