  • Perform sample preparation including hot-block digestion, microwave digestion, and fusion techniques.
  • Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot analytical instrumentation:
    • ICP-OES and ICP-MS for multi-element quantification
    • Graphite Furnace AA (GFAA), Cold Vapor AA (CVAAS), and Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence (CVAFS) for mercury and other ultra-trace metals
    • UV-Vis spectrophotometry for colorimetric metal assays
  • Execute full QA/QC protocols per EPA and NELAC/TNI standards: calibration curves, continuing calibration verification (CCV), blanks, laboratory control samples (LCS), matrix spikes/duplicates, and internal standards.
  • Enter, review, and validate data in the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS); flag outliers and ensure traceability.
  • Participate in internal audits, proficiency testing (PT), and method validation studies.
  • Collaborate with QA officers, senior analysts, and cross-functional teams on non-routine investigations, method improvements, and regulatory reporting.
