ONSite Labs Inc. is looking for a Laboratory Technician to perform XRF mineral analysis for its fly-in, fly-out mine site laboratory in Northern Labrador (near Schefferville, Quebec). This position works directly with the Laboratory Supervisor on a 3-person team.
Duties include:

• Sample preparation including drying, crushing, and pulverizing of samples.
• Fusing samples to prepare for XRF analysis.
• Analyzing samples using Bruker S8 Tiger/Dragon XRF instruments.
• Reviewing results for compliance with quality management system.
• Other analysis as required including particle size determinations, and moisture content.
• General assistance with laboratory maintenance, cleaning, etc.

The successful candidate will need to be prepared for remote living in a far-north climate. While accommodations are modern and appropriate, a sense of adventure and tolerance for this lifestyle is required to succeed.
As a fly-in, fly-out operation, employees will travel to site on a client-chartered flight from various airports in Eastern Canada. Return travel from the employee's home in Eastern Canada to the charter flight airport will be provided by ONSite.

The successful candidate for this role will have a demonstrated ability to work independently and maintain a high quality of execution of their assigned tasks. A self-starting, take-ownership attitude are valuable traits for this position.
A background in chemistry and XRF analysis is not required but is desired.
Please note, this position is a contract position from April to November 2024, with the possibility of extension depending on the mine site operating schedule during the winter months.
