We are seeking a dependable Laboratory Technician to join a growing chemical distribution company in Pleasant Prairie, WI. This is a contract-to-hire opportunity with steady hours and strong long-term potential. The role blends lab support, organization, and hands‑on technical work — ideal for someone who is detail‑oriented and comfortable working independently. This team has one Lab Tech on-site, so we’re looking for someone who is self‑motivated and able to manage responsibilities with minimal direction.

• Perform lab support tasks including filing, paperwork management, and data entry
• Enter quality results into LIMS and maintain organized records
• Stock and manage laboratory supply inventory
• Maintain clean and orderly lab work spaces and equipment
• Handle retained samples (store, retrieve, dispose per protocol)
• Support waste handling, including flammable waste and lab disposal processes
• Maintain gas cylinder areas and assist with cylinder changes as needed
• Assist with basic lab work such as preparing standards for new blends
• Provide general support to chemists, lab leadership, and technical teams

• High school diploma required
• Strong organizational and clerical skills
• Comfortable working with chemicals in a lab environment
• Ability to follow safety protocols and maintain a clean workspace
• Prior lab or chemical experience preferred (not required)
• Associate or Bachelor’s degree in chemistry or related field is a plus

• Safety-sensitive laboratory setting
• Independent work style required (small team environment)
• One onsite interview process

This role has historically supported both degreed and non‑degreed candidates. For candidates with a chemistry degree, this position can serve as a stepping stone into a future Chemist role if openings arise. (

Note:

Chemist roles may involve off-shift hours, such as 3rd shift.)
