About this role
Certified Group's Sample Login Technician role supports the intake and preparation of customer samples across their network of food safety and specialized testing laboratories. Based in Commerce, CA, you'd work Wednesday through Friday, 12pm–9pm, receiving and processing samples, entering data into their LIMS system, maintaining proper storage conditions, and communicating with clients about their submissions. The position requires attention to detail in following laboratory protocols, comfort working with a Windows computer system, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced team environment.
This is a contract position suited for someone with at least basic laboratory experience—ideally from a commercial food-testing setting—or equivalent training in general lab practices. You'll handle hands-on tasks including sample preparation, temperature control, and occasional lifting up to 25 pounds, while also managing administrative duties like scheduling and shipping logistics. The role involves potential exposure to various laboratory conditions, including chemical fumes and microbiological materials, so comfort with a regulated laboratory environment is important.
The position offers a $21/hour rate and is based entirely in-office. It's a good entry or mid-level opportunity if you're looking for consistent part-time work in food safety testing and want to build experience within a larger, established laboratory network.
