Technical Supervisor

Lighthouse Lab Services is partnering with a growing clinical toxicology laboratory in Meridian, MS to hire a Technical Supervisor for its high-complexity LC-MS/MS laboratory.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced toxicology professional who enjoys staying close to the science.

• Serve as the CLIA Technical Supervisor for the laboratory's high-complexity toxicology testing.
• Perform hands-on LC-MS/MS testing, including specimen preparation, instrument operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• Manage the day-to-day technical operations of the laboratory and serve as the primary on-site laboratory resource.
• Monitor quality control, calibration, proficiency testing, and preventive maintenance activities.
• Review instrument performance and investigate technical or quality-related issues.
• Assist with method validation, verification studies, and implementation of new assays.
• Maintain laboratory documentation, SOPs, quality records, and regulatory compliance.
• Ensure all testing is performed in accordance with CLIA, HIPAA, OSHA, and laboratory policies.
• Collaborate with the Laboratory Director on quality initiatives, workflow improvements, and laboratory operations.
• Support inspections and maintain continuous regulatory readiness.
• Help shape laboratory processes as the organization continues to grow.

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's degree in Medical Laboratory Science, Clinical Laboratory Science, Biology, Chemistry, or another qualifying scientific discipline.
• Meets CLIA requirements to serve as a Technical Supervisor for a high-complexity laboratory.
• Minimum of four years of experience in a high-complexity clinical toxicology laboratory.
• Extensive hands-on experience with LC-MS/MS toxicology testing and specimen preparation.
• Experience with AB Sciex instrumentation is strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of CLIA regulations, laboratory quality systems, and regulatory compliance.
• Comfortable working independently while managing multiple aspects of daily laboratory operations.
• Excellent troubleshooting, organization, and communication skills.
