Who We Are
Gradient started with the idea that transportation is safer with compliance at its core. Family-owned since 1996, we deliver people, goods, and materials safely by helping businesses navigate compliance. We believe safer transportation creates a safer world, and our mission is to protect both businesses and lives. As industry leaders and stewards of knowledge, we support the economy and communities through trusted partnerships.

What You'll Do
As a Specimen Collection Technician, you'll collect drug and alcohol specimens from drivers with accuracy, care, and integrity. This role is about compliance: following procedures, treating participants professionally, and ensuring smooth site operations. If you pride yourself on accuracy and value public safety impact, this job is for you.


In addition to the collection process, this role will support business operations through various administrative tasks. Here's what your day may look like:

  • Coordinate with the team during high-volume periods and step in where needed


What We're Looking For
No medical background required. Our onboarding program provides all the training you need to step into this role with confidence. You do need to be someone who follows procedure precisely, communicates clearly under pressure, and understands that the integrity of each collection matters - to the participant, the employer, and to public safety.


Required Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • 2+ years in customer service or a customer-facing administrative role
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office; comfortable learning new software systems
  • Valid driver's license, vehicle insurance, and reliable transportation
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment background check and drug screen, including THC
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
