What are the responsibilities and job description for the Laboratory Technician position at TechTrueUP?
Will there be any opportunity for remote work? Likely not, the position is intended to mainly support on-site duties that require physical presence. If there are record keeping or data organization tasks that offer an opportunity to work remotely, I am not opposed to an occasional exception so that the person can focus on that level of support.
