    Adecco US, Inc. (Palo Alto, CA)


    Now Hiring: Laboratory Sample Processing Specialist (Day Shift )

     

    Pay: $34 – $48.75 per hour

     

    Are you the type of person who spots a mislabeled tube from across the room? Do you get a little thrill from perfectly pipetted samples and well-behaved instruments? If so, we’ve got a contract role that’s calling your name!

     

    We’re looking for a Laboratory Sample Processing Specialist to join a fast-paced, science-powered environment where accuracy, curiosity, and teamwork keep everything flowing.

     

    **Required experience: Either 2 years of college in biology or a related field + 3 years lab experience** , _or_ **a 4-year biology/related degree + 1 year lab experience** .

     

    What You’ll Do

    You’ll be the behind-the-scenes hero who keeps the lab running smoothly by:

    + Preparing, receiving, accessioning, aliquoting, and processing clinical specimens with precision.

    + Setting up, maintaining, troubleshooting, and helping validate lab instruments (robots love you).

    + Whipping up reagents, prepping supplies, and keeping equipment refreshed and ready to perform.

    + Documenting all things QC—environmental readings, equipment checks, isolation controls—you name it.

    + Updating databases, fixing data entry errors, and maintaining sample inventories.

    + Training back-up staff, keeping workflows efficient, and jumping in during emergency staffing needs.

    + Supporting a safe and secure lab space while protecting sensitive medical information.

    + Occasionally entering areas where human blood is handled (PPE and protocols provided, of course!).

    What You Bring

    + Hands-on experience with sample handling, quantitative analysis, enzyme assays, reagent prep, pipetting, centrifugation, and similar techniques.

    + Comfort working with automated instruments and moderately advanced Microsoft Excel.

    + Strong attention to detail, critical thinking, and strict adherence to lab procedures.

    + Ability to manage large volumes of samples accurately without breaking a sweat.

    + Clear written and verbal communication skills.

    Bonus Points (Not Required)

    + Experience mentoring/training others

    + An instinct for spotting workflow improvements

    + A love for organized sample racks and crisp labels

     

    If you’re ready to dive into a role where precision meets purpose—and where every sample matters—we’d love to connect with you!
