Contribute to laboratory development and modernization by identifying opportunities to improve equipment reliability, experimental capability, safety, and operational efficiency.
Developing and maintaining standard operating procedures, hazard assessments, equipment documentation, and laboratory processes.
Work across both mechanical and wet laboratory environments, with the flexibility to support student design projects, technical co-curricular activities, Makerspace operations, and other engineering laboratories as operational requirements dictate.
Cross-training and collaboration within the Technical Services team.

Qualifications / Requirements:

Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Chemical Engineering Technology, or a closely related engineering technology discipline.

Experience with hand tools, power tools, workshop equipment, mechanical fabrication, and prototyping.
Experience working in a wet laboratory or applied chemical laboratory environment, including chemical preparation and handling, laboratory procedures, and safe work practices.
Familiarity with analytical instrumentation and laboratory testing techniques. Experience with equipment such as gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, UV-VIS spectroscopy, refractometry, or similar analytical systems would be an asset.
Experience with instrumentation, sensors, data acquisition systems, controls, and laboratory computing tools.
Knowledge of laboratory safety practices, chemical storage, hazardous waste management, and the preparation of standard operating procedures and hazard assessments.
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, equipment manuals, schematics, and operating procedures.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and identify practical solutions.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects, scheduled laboratory activities, and competing priorities.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to provide clear technical instruction and work effectively with students, teaching assistants, faculty, and technical colleagues.
