Interested in science, quality, or laboratory work but haven't had the opportunity to get your foot in the door?
We are hiring an Entry-Level Laboratory Technician to join a busy Quality Control laboratory in Decatur, IL. Previous laboratory experience is not required. This is a hands-on training opportunity where you'll learn laboratory testing procedures, work with modern analytical equipment, and build valuable experience in a manufacturing quality environment.
If you have a science background, college lab experience, previous quality experience, or simply enjoy detailed, fast-paced work where accuracy matters, we'd like to hear from you.
What You'll Learn & Do
You'll receive hands-on training in one of four analytical areas within the QC laboratory. As you develop your skills, you'll learn how to:
Prepare process and finished product samples for testing
Perform analytical testing using instrumental and wet chemistry methods
Accurately record and enter laboratory test results into computerized systems
Follow established testing procedures and quality standards
Work safely in a regulated laboratory and manufacturing environment
Learn laboratory instrumentation, with potential exposure to HPLC, GC, and IC
Follow cGMP, FDA, safety, and quality requirements
Identify and report potential safety concerns
Maintain an organized, accurate, and efficient work area
Complete training and certifications required to advance within the laboratory
New technicians typically complete certification in their assigned testing area after approximately 60–90 days of hands-on training and demonstrated proficiency.
What We're Looking For
You do not need previous professional laboratory experience to be considered.
We're looking for someone who brings:
High school diploma or equivalent
Solid high school-level math skills
Good computer skills
Strong attention to detail
Reliable attendance and punctuality
Ability to learn quickly and follow detailed procedures
Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment
Willingness to accept training, coaching, and feedback
A strong commitment to workplace and laboratory safety
A Plus, But Not Required
Science coursework or education
College laboratory experience
Previous laboratory, quality control, manufacturing, or production experience
Familiarity with HPLC, GC, IC, or other laboratory instrumentation
Experience working in a fast-paced environment
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build a career in laboratory testing and Quality Control without already having years of laboratory experience. You'll receive structured training, develop hands-on analytical testing skills, and have the opportunity to progress to the Laboratory Technician I level as you complete your training.
