What is a toxicology technical supervisor?

Toxicology Technical Supervisors are laboratory professionals who oversee the daily operations of toxicology labs, ensuring that testing procedures for detecting toxins, drugs, and other substances are accurate and compliant with regulations. They supervise laboratory staff, manage quality control, and ensure that all equipment is properly maintained. Their role is critical in settings such as hospitals, forensic labs, and research institutions, where precise toxicological analysis is essential. Toxicology Technical Supervisors also play a key part in training staff and implementing new testing protocols.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a toxicology technical supervisor?

To thrive as a Toxicology Technical Supervisor, you typically need a strong background in chemistry or biology, experience in toxicology laboratory procedures, and at least a bachelor's degree (often a master's or relevant certification is preferred). Familiarity with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), advanced analytical instruments like GC-MS or LC-MS, and regulatory compliance protocols (such as CLIA or CAP) is crucial. Leadership, attention to detail, and effective communication are essential soft skills for overseeing staff and ensuring accurate results. These skills and qualifications are vital for maintaining laboratory quality, ensuring regulatory compliance, and supporting efficient, reliable toxicological analysis.

What are some common challenges faced by a toxicology technical supervisor, and how can they be addressed?

A Toxicology Technical Supervisor often manages a team of laboratory professionals while ensuring that all testing procedures adhere to regulatory and quality standards. Common challenges include staying updated with evolving compliance requirements, troubleshooting complex instrumentation issues, and maintaining high throughput without compromising accuracy. Addressing these challenges typically involves regular staff training, proactive equipment maintenance, and fostering open communication within the team to quickly identify and resolve problems. Collaboration with laboratory directors and quality assurance personnel is also essential for continuous process improvement.

Job description

Lighthouse Lab Services is partnering with a growing clinical toxicology laboratory in Meridian, MS to hire a Technical Supervisor for its high-complexity LC-MS/MS laboratory.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced toxicology professional who enjoys staying close to the science. Unlike larger laboratories where leadership is primarily administrative, this is a working Technical Supervisor position. The successful candidate will serve as the laboratory's CLIA Technical Supervisor while also performing the majority of the laboratory's daily testing and instrument operation.

You'll have the autonomy to oversee technical operations while remaining hands-on with LC-MS/MS testing, quality systems, troubleshooting, and workflow management.

What You'll Do:

  • Serve as the CLIA Technical Supervisor for the laboratory's high-complexity toxicology testing.
  • Perform hands-on LC-MS/MS testing, including specimen preparation, instrument operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
  • Manage the day-to-day technical operations of the laboratory and serve as the primary on-site laboratory resource.
  • Monitor quality control, calibration, proficiency testing, and preventive maintenance activities.
  • Review instrument performance and investigate technical or quality-related issues.
  • Assist with method validation, verification studies, and implementation of new assays.
  • Maintain laboratory documentation, SOPs, quality records, and regulatory compliance.
  • Ensure all testing is performed in accordance with CLIA, HIPAA, OSHA, and laboratory policies.
  • Collaborate with the Laboratory Director on quality initiatives, workflow improvements, and laboratory operations.
  • Support inspections and maintain continuous regulatory readiness.
  • Help shape laboratory processes as the organization continues to grow.

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Medical Laboratory Science, Clinical Laboratory Science, Biology, Chemistry, or another qualifying scientific discipline.
  • Meets CLIA requirements to serve as a Technical Supervisor for a high-complexity laboratory.
  • Minimum of four years of experience in a high-complexity clinical toxicology laboratory.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with LC-MS/MS toxicology testing and specimen preparation.
  • Experience with AB Sciex instrumentation is strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of CLIA regulations, laboratory quality systems, and regulatory compliance.
  • Comfortable working independently while managing multiple aspects of daily laboratory operations.
  • Excellent troubleshooting, organization, and communication skills.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Monday-Friday, Day Shift
  • Competitive base salary
  • Medical, Dental, Vision
  • PTO + Paid Holidays
