top 3 “must-have”skills or qualities in a candidate
•Attention to detail. We work in a fast-paced environment that ultimately doesn’t have a back-end QC check, so we need to ensure accuracy from the get-go.
•Flexibility in task workflow. We have several different processes that we do. We try to rotate through them, but at times people can stay in one part of the lab for several days or weeks dependent on where we are with training and order volume
•Manufacturing mindset. We are a biotechnology-based company but have tight deadlines to meet to hit our customer demands, so having someone that is ok with production work will be a must.
