Start Something Meaningful in the Heart of Wine Country - Medical Lab Tech Opportunity in Southeastern Washington

In a valley where golden wheat fields stretch to the horizon and vineyards ripple across the hills , there's a town that blends small-town soul with unexpected sophistication. This is Kennewick-a gem of southeastern Washington where art galleries line the streets, local chefs earn national praise, and the wine flows as richly as the stories behind it . It's a place where life moves with intention, community matters, and every sunset over the hills reminds you why you chose to be here.

We're looking for a Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT / CLT) who's ready to begin or grow their career in a setting where your work is valued, your curiosity is welcomed, and your impact is real. Whether you're newly graduated or nearing the end of your MLT program, this full-time role offers day, night, and weekend shifts, giving you the flexibility to balance work with life in a town that's as relaxing as it is inspiring.

Here, your days will be filled with meaningful, hands-on experience-collecting and analyzing samples, running diagnostic tests, operating modern lab equipment, and contributing directly to patient care. You'll play an important part in the daily operations of a committed, close-knit team, where collaboration and mentorship are woven into the culture. You'll learn the ins and outs of quality control, documentation, and lab compliance , all while developing the confidence and skillset to grow your career with purpose.

We're seeking someone with an associate's degree in Medical Laboratory Technology, Clinical Laboratory Technology, Biology, or a related field , along with ASCP, AMT, or equivalent certification-or the drive to earn it. If you're detail-oriented, team-focused, and drawn to the rhythm of lab work, we'd love to get to know you. Strong communication, basic computer skills, and a calm, problem-solving mindset will help you thrive here.

But what really sets this opportunity apart is the place itself. Kennewick is a rural town with a cosmopolitan heart , where you can spend your off-hours sipping wine at a weekend tasting, exploring open-air farmers markets, or walking through exhibits at a downtown art gallery. The pace is easygoing, the people are kind, and the landscape is unforgettable-from soft rolling hills to warm valley sunshine. It's a place that welcomes you in and gives you space to grow, both personally and professionally.

At MLR, we're proud to invest in emerging lab professionals who are ready to build something meaningful. We believe that a supportive environment, a shared mission, and a strong sense of place can transform a job into a calling.

If you're ready to start your lab career in a town known for beauty, balance, and heart, we'd be honored to welcome you.
