Job Description:

Join our team as a Medical Laboratory Technician in Hastings, Nebraska, for a 13-week contract. This position offers a hands-on experience across multiple laboratory disciplines, including hematology, chemistry, serology, microbiology, and point-of-care testing. You'll be the go-to person for performing advanced tests and complex phlebotomy procedures—especially during night shifts—so strong blood draw skills are essential. This role isn't just about routine lab work; it's an opportunity to showcase your versatility as a generalist in a fast-paced environment, with up to 50% of your shift dedicated to phlebotomy and specimen collection. No blood bank experience is required, but any familiarity with microbiology or molecular testing platforms is a plus. Prepare to operate sophisticated lab equipment such as Sysmex XN analyzers, Roche Cobas machines, and molecular platforms like Cepheid Gene Xpert. The team is small but dedicated, with daily collaboration that keeps the work engaging and rewarding. If you're a certified ASCP or MT professional with a proactive approach and a knack for multitasking, this assignment is perfect for expanding your skills while making a real impact in patient diagnostics.
