One will maintain a safe and clean work environment by keeping shelves, pallet areas, and workstations neat, maintaining a clean receiving area, complying with procedures, rules, and regulations, working cohesively in a team environment, providing high level of attention to detail, and exhibit strong organizational skills.

Successful candidates will be able to contribute to the resolutions of problems of moderately complex scope where analysis of situations or data requires a review of a variety of factors including assuring safety and security compliance, maintaining required safety and security training, and making safety and security an integral part of every task, including taking the necessary steps to stop or pause work if continuing the job is unsafe or compromises security.

They should have knowledge of relevant Laboratory policies, procedures, and standards, and inventory management and control practices with an awareness of NQA-1 standards, general knowledge of supply chain management and resource management practices, and knowledge of configuration management, change control, and release management processes.
