• Maintain lab SOPs, logbooks, work instructions and forms so the work is consistent and easy to repeat
• Assist with sample collection at client sites, including viable and non-viable air sampling, surface sampling and personnel monitoring, using aseptic technique, chain of custody and GMP documentation practices
• Travel to and from client sites in the region as scheduled
