| Required Credentials | High school diploma or equivalent; some roles may require certification | High school diploma; certification or associate degree often preferred |

| Common Search & Comparison | Entrylevel Lab vs Laboratory Technician |
The main difference between an Entrylevel Lab and a Laboratory Technician lies in experience and certification requirements. Entrylevel Lab roles are typically suitable for individuals starting their careers with minimal experience, often requiring only a high school diploma. Laboratory Technicians may have additional certifications or an associate degree and often perform more complex tasks. Both roles work in similar environments like hospitals and research labs, but Laboratory Technicians usually have more responsibilities and technical skills.

Grade 1
$85,049 - $136,079
Open: July 28, 2026 ? Close: August 11, 2026
*Starting salary will be between minimum and midpoint in the range. Until renovations are complete you will need to be comfortable traveling between our headquarters and our temporary off-site lab in Manassas, VA.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
The Quality Assurance Specialist (QAS) is an entry-level quality assurance role designed to develop foundational expertise in laboratory quality systems, regulatory compliance, and data integrity within a Virginia Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (VELAP), a Chapter 45 certified wastewater laboratory. This position requires substantial hands-on experience in environmental or wastewater laboratory testing. The QAS is expected to bring strong analytical knowledge, familiarity with Standard Methods, EPA methods, 40 CFR Part 136, and a solid understanding of routine laboratory operations. The QAS supports the daily implementation and maintenance of the laboratory's quality system while learning the regulatory framework governing accredited environmental testing laboratories, including TNI (The NELAC Institute) standards, Virginia's Chapter 45 and applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Working under the guidance of the Quality Assurance Officer (QAO), the QAS assists with quality control (QC) review, documentation, internal audits, and regulatory preparedness activities. This role provides structured training, hands-on experience, and progressive responsibility. Your work will be a critical component of UOSA's Vision to be globally recognized for its leadership in protecting the region's water resources.
WHO YOU ARE
Quality Systems Professional: You have a strong foundation in environmental laboratory operations and understand how quality assurance principles support the generation of accurate, defensible, and compliant analytical data. You are experienced with laboratory testing methods, quality control requirements, and the importance of maintaining data integrity in a regulated environment.
Quality & Compliance Advocate: You are committed to maintaining high standards of quality and regulatory compliance. You understand the importance of following SOPs, accreditation requirements, and QA/QC procedures, and you help ensure the laboratory remains audit-ready and aligned with VELAP, TNI, and applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
Detail-Oriented Data Reviewer: You possess exceptional attention to detail and a strong analytical mindset. You enjoy reviewing laboratory data, quality control results, and documentation to verify accuracy, identify potential issues, and support corrective actions that strengthen laboratory performance and compliance.
Collaborative Laboratory Partner: You work effectively with laboratory staff, auditors, and stakeholders to promote a culture of quality. You communicate clearly, provide constructive support, and help reinforce consistent adherence to approved methods, quality standards, and laboratory best practices.
