About The Position

Through Unity Lab Services, Thermo Fisher Scientific offers integrated lab services, support, and supply management with customized service offerings and world-class experts to address our customers' unique laboratory business needs. Our inventory management specialists use our intuitive electronic systems and mobile scanning tools to ensure orders move efficiently from dock to desk. This role involves working independently at customer sites, potentially in areas with chemical-based allergens.

Overtime may also be necessary.

Excellent verbal and written English communication skills—especially via email—and a friendly, solution-focused approach.
A self-starter who thrives with detail, accountability, and teamwork.

Responsibilities

Use handheld RF scanners and our mobile app to perform replenishments, stock rotation, cycle counts, order entry, returns, and backorder processing.
Perform specific tasks associated with labware operations, including precision cleaning, inventory management, quality control, and sterilization through autoclaving.
Receive and inspect shipments, scan and store items, and maintain cycle counts to guarantee up-to-date inventory records.
Own customer interactions—respond via email (our primary channel), follow up by phone, and assist internal partners to resolve questions and build trust.
Collaborate with supervisors and teammates to propose and implement improvements that streamline daily workflows.
Uphold safety and organization standards in every work area by following site guidelines and wearing required PPE.
Proactively monitor stock levels and flag gaps or issues to prevent operational impacts.
May perform other duties as assigned by the Supervisor.
