About The Position

The Courier transports mail, supplies, and clinical laboratory specimens to and from HNL Lab Medicine accounts and designated locations. Pickups and deliveries must be completed safely, accurately, and in a timely and efficient manner while maintaining specimen integrity and required turnaround times.
