Who We Are
At Luminultra, we don’t just test for microbes, we bring clarity to uncertainty. Our tools and services empower industries to get the insights they need to act with speed, precision and confidence.

As a global leader in applied molecular diagnostics, we support organizations across the water, energy and food sectors - where microbial risks can threaten safety, compliance and operational performance. Through our suite of innovative testing solutions and expert services, we equip frontline teams with the insights they need to make high-stakes decisions quickly and accurately. Behind every test result is a deeper purpose: to help industries and communities thrive. From detecting early-stage contamination in food production, to ensuring asset integrity in complex industrial systems, to identifying pathogens in water networks, our work is about keeping essential operations moving with less risk and greater resilience.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Luminultra has grown into a globally recognized company with a team located across Canada, the U.S., the UK and France. We’re united by a shared vision: a resilient world where industries and communities thrive with clarity and control over microbial risks.

Join us and be part of an innovative, collaborative team that shows up every day - for our customers, and for each other.

Where You’ll Work
This is an on-site role working within our modern, purpose-built laboratory facility located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. This is a 6-month contract.

Schedule
The typical work schedule is Monday – Friday or Wednesday - Sunday (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.)

Because our laboratory operates seven days a week to support time-sensitive testing, team members are expected to work schedules that may include weekend and holiday coverage following completion of training.

Upon successful completion of training, the position will transition to a rotating or assigned schedule based on operational requirements. While employees will continue to work a full-time schedule of 32 hours minimum per week, days of work may vary and will include weekends.

What You Will Do
Luminultra is recruiting a contract Laboratory Technician (Microbiology) to join our dynamic Food & Beverage laboratory team to accommodate seasonal volume increases and continued growth.
Our growing laboratory receives samples for microbiology analysis. In this hands-on role, the contract Laboratory Technician will receive and process samples daily to inspect for microorganisms using standard culture-based and rapid microbiology procedures.

The ideal candidate will be a team player, detail-oriented, and someone who takes a risk-based approach to ensure high quality work. This role works within a small team to ensure we honor our commitment to provide our clients with accurate and timely results. This position offers a base hourly range of $20.00 – 23.50/hr CAD depending on experience.

As a contract Laboratory Technician, you will support key organizational objectives and have key responsibilities such as:

  • Examine samples (e.g., water, environmental, food, etc.) from new and existing clients for health hazards and spoilage-related microorganisms.
  • Properly handle and prepare samples for analysis according to SOPs.
  • Prepare culture media for the various analyses.
  • Perform sample transfers for specific procedures.
  • Record daily temperatures of incubators, rooms, and other equipment.
  • Check and record the accuracy of glassware cleaning through residue testing.
  • Regularly verify various equipment calibration which has a direct influence on test results.
  • Maintain QA/QC records of various media preparation dates and other associated information to correspond with prepared samples and controls.
  • Quality control on reagents and culture media.
  • Receive, properly store, and inventory samples and supplies.
  • Create and distribute accurate reports for clients based on testing results.
  • Actively participate in continuous improvement initiatives
  • Equipment maintenance as necessary (on the job training provided).
  • Maintain a clean environment by washing, and if necessary, sterilizing tools, benches, equipment, and supplies.
  • Answer questions from clients related to their samples, results or testing needs.
  • Other duties, as assigned.

Who You Are
You're a self-motivated individual, who is looking for an opportunity to develop within an organization that's on a consistent growth and expansion trajectory. You must be able to work with a wide range of food types including shellfish, nuts and grains. Additionally, you bring skills and experience such as:
  • Bachelor of Science or Technical Diploma in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry, or related discipline.
  • >1 year experience working in a laboratory (classroom lab experience accepted).
  • Ability to pipette accurately, carefully follow SOPs, aseptic technique and work at the bench for extended periods.
  • Highly detail oriented and reliable team player.
  • Naturally curious and communicative
  • Flexibility to work weekends and holidays as necessary.
  • Experience in working within an ISO 17025:2017 or similar environment is an asset.
  • Experience working in a microbiological or sterile laboratory environment is an asset.
