As a Lab Technician Trainee, you’ll prepare apparatus and reagents, support teachers during demonstrations, and ensure all chemical and biological waste is handled according to SOPs. Accuracy and methodical record-keeping are more important than rushing through tasks. Our client values reliability, calm communication, and attention to detail. You’ll manage labeled shelves, maintain stock levels, update inventories, and reorder essentials, keeping the lab ready for daily lessons and peak exam periods. Every organized shelf and well-prepared experiment contributes to smooth teaching and student safety.
