Job Description

As a Laboratory Technician, you will collect or process specimens when authorized, perform or coordinate approved basic tests, and report results to the clinicians responsible for patient decisions. The role supports medical, occupational, and readiness screening within the limits of the on-island laboratory. You will help maintain equipment and supplies while following defined quality, safety, and documentation procedures.

Laboratory work supports both patient evaluation and directed medical or occupational screening. You will follow written procedures and quality controls, maintain assigned competency records, and help ensure equipment faults or questionable conditions are recognized and addressed. Where testing is coordinated rather than performed on site, accurate labeling, handling, and timely reporting remain essential parts of the process.

Employment Type: Full time

Assignment Details: This position requires relocation to Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory, for the duration of the assignment.
