ALS is using the power of testing to solve complex challenges. With a passion for science, we serve clients with data-driven insights for a safer and healthier world.
The Role
ALS Geochemistry is looking to fill roles within our Sample Preparation section at our Orange facility. We hire a diverse range of people and pride ourselves on our inclusive workplace - we would love for you to come along and see what we are all about!
Safety and quality are our main priorities, so we’ll make sure you’re fully trained by our experienced team members and they’ll show you everything you need to know to do a quality job and do it safely. Sometimes the work isn’t glamorous, but we need hard-working, honest people who are committed to turning up every-day and getting their hands dirty.
We have a great company culture and we’re a big global business with locations all around Australia and the world so, you’ll be coming into an organisation where you may just find your career path, or perhaps you are thinking about taking a gap-year to get some experience and earn some money before you go to Uni in 2024.
