5 Common Career Paths For a Laboratory Technician

Technician

Technicians are skilled professionals who primarily work with technology in different industries. They are knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the various items they work with. They are usually working with electricity or with technological advancements. Technicians may be assigned to do the construction of equipment or materials related to their field of study. They may also be assigned to conduct diagnostics and other maintenance activities to ensure that the equipment works properly. Technicians may also be required to conduct basic repairs in case of problems. It is important that technicians have good analytical skills and decision-making skills.

Quality Assurance Technician

Quality assurance is an essential part of a company that offers products and services. It is critical that the company's output remains consistent and up to par with community standards. It is the assistant quality assurance manager's role to inspect, monitor, and evaluate the quality of every product. The goal is to establish customer satisfaction and trust. The assistant quality assurance manager works with the head manager and helps generate reports of daily activities for executive evaluations.

Research Associate

A research associate is responsible for assisting the research team, organizing and interpreting findings, and verifying information before presenting the study to the board. Research associates duties also include gathering and comparing data from multiple sources, analyzing the current industry trends, creating draft outlines for reports, collecting individual contacts for interview purposes, and helping with the development of research procedures. A research associate must have excellent time-management skills and ability to multi-task, especially on meeting strict deadlines and conducting studies.

Chemist

Chemists are generally responsible for observing and investigating chemical substances to create new and safe compounds essential for practical applications. They are often grouped depending on a particular area of specialization to focus and understand the complexities of the matter. A chemist usually takes time performing research and conducting experiments to test and further improve the quality and usage of a specific chemical substance. Chemists are expected to write on their observations and findings to establish scientific results.

Specialist

Specialists are employees who are responsible for specific tasks or activities in the department they are assigned to. The actions or tasks they work on are related to their educational background or work experiences. They are usually highly skilled in specializations related to the work they are assigned to.

Illustrated Career Paths For a Laboratory Technician

Laboratory Technician Jobs FAQs

Can A Laboratory Technician Make 100k?

Yes, you can make $100,000 per year as a laboratory technician. It is highly unlikely to earn over $100k because the average annual salary for a laboratory technician is $37,512. Even laboratory technicians in higher-paid positions do not typically earn more than $50,000 per year. For example, laboratory technicians in Alaska whose salaries are in the 90th percentile earn an average salary of $119,000.

How Much Money Do Laboratory Technicians Make?

Laboratory technicians make $41,000 a year, on average. This salary depends upon the experience of the technician and the location of the employer.

Entry-level laboratory technicians will make less than the national average with some making as little as $20,000. However, only 17% of laboratory technicians make under $30,000 per year.

What Qualifications Do You Need To Work In A Lab?

The qualifications you need to work in a lab vary depending on the state and the specific employer. Some states and employers have very specific requirements while others are less so.

There are twelve states that require anyone working in a lab as a technician to hold a certification in the field of Laboratory Technology. To earn this certification, a candidate must have an associate's degree from an approved program and pass the certification exam. Montana, in addition to certification, requires all technicians to take an additional fourteen hours of education to maintain their license. Other states like New York require all technicians hold a bachelor's degree in lab technology but they do not require certification.
