An Environmental Laboratory job involves analyzing air, water, soil, and other environmental samples to assess pollution levels, compliance with regulations, and overall environmental health. Professionals in this field use scientific instruments and techniques to test for contaminants, identify hazardous substances, and support environmental research. These jobs are critical for ensuring public safety, regulatory compliance, and sustainable environmental practices.
Working in an Environmental Laboratory, your daily tasks often include collecting and preparing samples, performing analytical tests on water, soil, or air, and documenting and interpreting test results. You’ll regularly maintain and calibrate laboratory equipment, follow strict quality control procedures, and comply with environmental regulations. Collaboration with scientists, field technicians, and regulatory agencies is common, ensuring data accuracy and reliable findings. These responsibilities contribute to safeguarding public health and the environment, making your work both impactful and highly valued.
To excel in an Environmental Laboratory role, you need a solid background in environmental science, chemistry, or biology, supported by relevant degrees or laboratory certifications. Familiarity with analytical instruments such as gas chromatographs, spectrometers, and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) is essential. Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and clear communication are valuable soft skills for this position. Mastering these competencies ensures accurate testing, adherence to regulatory standards, and effective teamwork in complex laboratory settings.

Description
The Role
Sterling Labs is hiring a Customer Service Representative to own a set of client accounts. You are the person your clients call. You answer their questions, set up their projects correctly, tell them what is happening before they have to ask, and stay on a problem until it is actually solved.
You do not need a science background. We will teach you the testing methods, the terminology, and our laboratory information management system. What we cannot teach is judgment, follow-through, and the ability to stay calm and helpful when a client is frustrated. If you have those, we will help build the rest.
What You'll Do
Client communication
Escalation and resolution
Project setup
Pricing and billing
Coordination and records
Training and Growth
New representatives are trained on our systems, our testing services, and our client base before taking accounts independently. You will learn how an accredited environmental laboratory actually runs, which is knowledge that transfers across this entire industry.
This role has a path. Strong representatives move into senior account work, and we promote from within wherever we can. Sterling is growing, which means the person doing this job well in a year is not doing the same job two years from now.
Job Details
Location: In-office, Des Plaines, IL
Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
FLSA Status: Non-exempt (overtime eligible, with approval)
Pay: From $21.00
Department: Customer Service
Reports To: Customer Service Manager
Start Date: Immediate
What We're Looking For
Nice to have, not required
Work Environment and Systems
This is an in-office role requiring regular use of a computer, phone, email, our laboratory information management system, and standard office applications. You must be able to sit, type, read documents, review forms, and use a phone for extended periods. The role also involves printing reports, reviewing physical paperwork, and coordinating with laboratory and sample receiving areas.
Systems used: Clinisys Element LIMS and Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Excel, Word, Teams), plus Adobe Acrobat and our office phone system.
About Sterling Labs
Sterling Labs is a DoD, NELAP, ANAB, and AIHA-accredited environmental laboratory providing high-integrity analytical data through state-of-the-art technology and validated testing methodologies. For more than 40 years, our work has supported initiatives that protect human health and the environment.
