Working at Gradient means joining a company that’s passionate about making transportation safer. Every member of our team plays an important role in helping us build this future. We embrace opportunities to share our insights and shape the path forward with partners who share our vision for a safer world.

Gradient is growing, and as a part of that growth we are looking to add an additional Specimen Collection Technician to our team. This position is critical to our mission of protecting the public – that means everyone who travels by road, rail, air, or sea. Our work also makes it possible for commercial motor operators to gain employment without delay.

You will thrive in this role if you appreciate consistency. At the same time, you bring the confidence to take on new challenges, and you are driven to continuously learn.

Because you’ll be part of a team, it’s important your colleagues can rely on you to perform all tasks thoroughly and completely. Rules and regulations are critical in our industry, and we go to great lengths to make sure we apply them accurately. What will fuel your success in your work with our team and clients is your ability to communicate in a way that’s both friendly and comprehensive.

When you first start here, we will provide training for you to become a qualified Specimen Collector and Breath Alcohol Technician. It’s a great way to gain experience working in a clinical setting. From here, there are several opportunities for you to grow at Gradient, for example by earning additional certifications or moving into a Customer Relations Specialist role.
