Job Details

Where Scientific Rigor Meets a City That Never Stops Inspiring

 

Overview
We are on the lookout for a dedicated and detail-driven Medical Laboratory Technician to join a thriving diagnostic team at a well-established community hospital in one of the most intellectually and culturally alive cities in the country. This is a full-time, first-shift opportunity for someone who finds meaning in the quiet precision of the lab—someone who knows that the results they produce ripple far beyond the walls of the facility. You will be backed by a comprehensive total rewards package, a genuinely collaborative team, and an institution that believes your professional growth is just as important as your output.

 

What You Will Be Doing

  • Carry out a wide range of routine and complex clinical laboratory procedures spanning chemistry, hematology, immunology, urinalysis, and microbiology, all within established protocols and quality standards.
  • Scrutinize test results for accuracy, investigate and resolve discrepancies, and perform scheduled calibration and preventative maintenance on all relevant instrumentation.
  • Support specimen collection workflows and prepare samples appropriately prior to analysis.
  • Maintain thorough documentation of all procedures, contribute to onboarding and training of incoming staff or students, and actively uphold the laboratory's quality assurance framework.
  • Keep the workspace clean, organized, and compliant with all applicable regulatory and accreditation standards.

 

Education Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Clinical Laboratory Science, Medical Laboratory Science, or a closely related allied health discipline—or an equivalent combination of education and certification preparation through ASCP or AMT pathways.

 

Certifications

  • Active ASCP or AMT Board of Certification in Clinical Laboratory Science required, or must be obtained within one year from date of hire.
  • Certification must remain current and in good standing throughout the duration of employment.

 

Skills We Are Looking For

  • Clear and confident communication skills that translate well across multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
  • A capacity for independent, sound judgment when navigating time-sensitive or high-pressure situations.
  • Sharp organizational instincts and a meticulous eye for detail, particularly in the realm of quality control, recordkeeping, and instrument troubleshooting.

 

What Is Waiting for You

  • Competitive compensation that reflects both your experience level and the qualifications you bring to the table.
  • A full suite of market-leading benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage.
  • Generous paid time off beginning on day one, plus vacation and holiday accrual that honors your tenure and experience.
  • Ongoing continuing education support and access to professional development resources that keep your skills sharp and your career moving forward.
  • A holistic total rewards philosophy that invests in your full well-being, not just your workday.

 

Your Work Powers the Answers That Matter Most

 

There is something quietly profound about what happens inside a clinical laboratory. A single hematology panel can signal the early edge of something serious. A chemistry result can redirect a treatment plan before a patient ever feels worse. And behind each of those moments is a technician who ran the test, questioned the outlier, and made sure the number on the screen was trustworthy. That is the kind of work you will be doing here—work that is invisible to most, but irreplaceable to all.

 

A Team Culture Built on Curiosity and Accountability

 

This laboratory does not just run tests—it operates as a living, evolving system of professionals who hold each other to a high standard while genuinely enjoying the work. Regular team huddles, competency refreshers, and quality improvement initiatives are woven into the rhythm of daily operations. Staff members are invited to sit on committees, drive process enhancements, and take an active role in shaping how the department evolves. If you have an idea that could improve turnaround times or streamline a workflow, this is a team that will actually listen.

 

Life in a City That Feeds the Mind and the Soul

 

Boston, Massachusetts is not just a backdrop—it is a full experience. Few cities in the world can match the combination of intellectual energy, historical texture, and genuine neighborhood warmth that Boston delivers on a daily basis. From the cobblestone paths of Beacon Hill to the buzzing innovation corridors of Kendall Square, every corner of this city holds something worth discovering. The skyline that greets you on the way to work is the same one that has inspired scientists, writers, and changemakers for centuries.

 

Weekends here could mean wandering through the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, catching a weekend farmers market in the South End, hiking the Blue Hills Reservation just south of the city, or kayaking along the Charles River as the autumn foliage ignites on both banks. Boston's dining scene is as layered as its history—award-winning chef-driven restaurants sit a block away from beloved neighborhood joints that have been feeding locals for generations. The city's passion for sports, arts, higher education, and community is not performative—it is embedded into the everyday cadence of life here.

 

Public transit connects you to nearly everything, and Boston's distinct neighborhoods—from Jamaica Plain to Charlestown to Somerville just across the line—each carry their own personality and energy. Whether you are a first-year professional planting roots or an experienced clinician looking for a city that matches your ambition, Boston has a way of making people feel like they are exactly where they are supposed to be.

 

The Ripple Effect of Getting It Right

 

Every quality result you release contributes to a faster diagnosis, a smarter clinical decision, and ultimately a better patient outcome. In a city as medically dense and research-forward as this one, the laboratory is not peripheral—it is central. You will feel the weight of that responsibility, but also the deep satisfaction that comes with it. The gratitude expressed by care teams and patients alike is a reminder that precision in the lab is an act of service with a very human face.

 

This Is Your Moment to Step Into Something Bigger

 

Whether you are stepping into your first post-certification role or carrying a decade of lab experience with you, what matters most here is your commitment to accuracy, your drive to keep learning, and your belief that good science makes for better care. This team is ready to invest in what you bring and help you grow into even more.

 

Ready to Bring Your Skills to One of the World's Great Medical Cities?

 

If you are motivated by purpose, energized by precision, and ready to join a laboratory culture that values both innovation and human connection, we would love to hear from you. Apply today and take the next step toward a role where your work genuinely matters—every single shift.
