As our new Laboratory Technician, you will prepare and analyze environmental samples using a variety of inorganic wet chemistry techniques, helping produce accurate, defensible analytical data used in environmental monitoring and regulatory decision-making.

Working in a high-volume laboratory, you will follow established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), maintain sample integrity, operate laboratory equipment, and ensure testing is completed safely, accurately, and within required turnaround times.

This is a full-time, contract on-site role based in Mississauga, working Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  Saturday time schedule is 8:30pm to 5pm. Overtime may be available based on operational requirements.

What's in it for you

Develop specialized laboratory expertise. You will build hands-on experience in environmental sample preparation, extraction techniques, and LC/MS workflows used to detect contaminants and support environmental testing.

Make your work count. Every sample you prepare contributes to reliable environmental data that helps clients meet regulatory requirements and make informed decisions that protect people and the environment.

Learn in a quality-focused environment. You will gain experience working within established quality systems, including SOPs and ISO 17025 requirements, while developing your understanding of analytical quality control and laboratory best practices.
