Paternity Testing information

What is paternity testing?

A paternity testing job involves conducting DNA tests to determine biological relationships, typically between a father and child. Professionals in this field collect and analyze DNA samples using advanced laboratory techniques. They ensure accurate, confidential, and legally admissible results if required for court cases. Roles in this field may include laboratory technicians, geneticists, or case coordinators.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in paternity testing?

To excel in paternity testing, a background in biology, genetics, or laboratory science—often with a relevant degree or certification—is essential alongside strong analytical and technical skills. Familiarity with laboratory equipment, DNA sequencing technologies, and protocols such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) are commonly required. Attention to detail, confidentiality, and clear communication help professionals stand out in this precise and sensitive field. These competencies are crucial for ensuring accurate, reliable test results and maintaining client trust during emotionally charged situations.

What challenges might I face when working in a paternity testing laboratory?

Professionals in paternity testing laboratories often manage high volumes of samples while maintaining strict adherence to chain-of-custody procedures and privacy regulations. You may also encounter emotionally sensitive situations when delivering or discussing results with clients. Maintaining accuracy under pressure and balancing laboratory throughput with the need for careful, meticulous analysis are common challenges. Successful team collaboration, ongoing training, and open communication are key to overcoming these challenges and advancing in the field.

How to become a paternity testing specialist?

To become a paternity testing specialist, individuals typically need a background in biology, genetics, or a related field, often requiring a bachelor's degree.

Role Overview

We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented, and professional Drug & Alcohol Collector to join our team. This is a dynamic "hybrid" role where you will serve as the primary face of our mobile testing operations, while also providing essential support within our clinic as a Testing Technician and certified IDEMIA Enrollment Agent.

The ideal candidate thrives in an environment that requires high levels of integrity, excellent customer service, and the ability to manage sensitive information with total confidentiality.

Primary Responsibilities: Mobile Drug & Alcohol Collector

  • Administrative Support: Manage appointment scheduling, answer phones, and maintain a clean, organized clinic environment.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Experience: Previous experience in drug testing, or medical assisting is preferred, but we will train the right candidate.

  • Certifications: Current **** or BAT certifications are a plus. You must be willing to become a certified IDEMIA Enrollment Agent (requires a background check).

  • Mobility: Must have a valid driver’s license, a reliable vehicle, and a clean driving record.

  • Professionalism: Ability to remain calm and professional in high-stress situations (e.g., post-accident scenes).

  • Tech-Savvy: Proficiency with tablets, fingerprinting scanners, and web-based laboratory portals.

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to lift up to 25 lbs (testing kits/equipment).

  • Ability to stand for extended periods during mobile events.

  • Must pass a rigorous background check and pre-employment drug screen.

Why Join Us?
