Job Description

Test Proctor / Testing Center Administrator — Part-Time (Harlingen, Texas)

Starting pay: $11.50 · 20-25 hours/week · Set schedule, no nights, closed Sundays

Innovative Minds has operated professional computer-based testing centers for over 18 years. We're hiring part-time Testing Center Administrators for our Harlingen location.

Please note before applying: All shifts start at 8:00 AM, and this position requires passing a federal background check. Both are firm requirements of the role.

Why people stay in this role

This is a set schedule with assigned shifts. You'll know your hours in advance, you'll never work a night, and we're closed Sundays. From time to time we may ask if you're available to cover an extra shift when a coworker is out.

• Paid training — no prior testing or technical experience needed
• Consistent weekly schedule you can plan around
• Long-tenured team; many of our proctors have been with us for years

The schedule

All shifts start at 8:00 AM. We run on appointments, so testing candidates are scheduled to arrive at open .

• Monday–Friday: 8:00 AM–2:00 PM
• Saturday: 8:00 AM–2:00 PM (rotating)
• Sunday: Closed

What you'll do

Candidates come to our center to take licensing and certification exams. As a proctor, you'll:

• Check candidates in and verify identification
• Prepare testing rooms and computer stations
• Monitor exam sessions and maintain exam security
• Help candidates with basic computer login and setup
• Keep accurate testing records and report any incidents or technical issues
• Handle opening and closing duties

The center stays quiet for testers, but the front desk moves quickly — you'll be balancing check-ins, questions, and monitoring at the same time.

Digital fingerprinting services

Our Harlingen location also provides digital fingerprinting, so this role includes a second responsibility that's unique to this site. You'll be trained to:

• Verify identification for fingerprinting appointments
• Capture electronic fingerprints using a live-scan system
• Handle applicant personal information with strict confidentiality

No prior experience with fingerprinting is required — we provide full training and certification.

What we're looking for

• 18 or older
• Reliable and on time
• Comfortable with computers and office technology
• Strong attention to detail and good customer-service instincts
• Able to work independently and stay attentive in a busy environment

Physical requirements

The essential functions of this position may require:

• Frequent standing and walking between the front desk, testing rooms, and workstations
• Prolonged periods of viewing computer monitors
• Repeated use of hands and fingers to operate a live-scan fingerprint scanner, including guiding and positioning an applicant's hands on the scanner surface
• Occasional reaching, bending, and lifting or handling of testing materials and office supplies, generally up to 20 pounds
• Clear verbal communication with candidates and applicants in a quiet environment
• Sustained attention and alertness throughout the assigned shift

Qualified individuals must be able to perform the essential functions of this position, with or without reasonable accommodation.
