safety compliance
The Lab Analyst must participate in the maintenance of a current spare parts and supplies inventory.This activity includes routine checking of stock levels, placing material requests, making on site trips to get supplies, and recommending changes in stock levels or items.
Accurate recording of process sample and standards data in manual and computer based logs for reliable distribution of this data to others is an essential part of the job.Conversion between metric and English measurement systems may be required as part of test evaluation and/or data reporting.
Preparation of reagents and standards using appropriate laboratory techniques and knowledge of proper reference material storage requirements are routine parts of the job for all Analysts and may constitute the prime responsibilities for some Analysts.
The Lab Analyst must be responsible for keeping the laboratory facility neat and orderly in accordance with good housekeeping practices and participating in regular facility inspections.
Wet Chemistry Analyses
Monitoring all lab equipment performance and responding to out-of-control/alarm conditions, carrying out preventative maintenance activities, recognizing equipment malfunctions and accomplishing simple repairs or corrections must be performed on a continuing basis.This work requires the ability to read, interpret, and understand complex instruction manuals, engineering drawings and schematics, and interactive software programs.
Industrial and nuclear safety rules and safe practices must be observed at all times. The Lab Analyst is responsible for keeping current his/her personal safety training. Questions and concerns about safety issues must be communicated immediately to lab management’s attention.

lab experience
Metallurgy, metallography, and/or ceramography
Continuous visual concentration will be necessary to develop and maintain tolerance.
Must be able to work on weekends and holidays when necessary
Ability to lift weights up to 45 pounds to shoulder level is required. Must pass applicable quality control vision (Ishihara) test requirements. Must be able to safely handle hazardous chemicals and equipment.
The Lab Analyst job functions require duties that are routinely performed within radioactive material controlled areas. Must be able to pass a Nuclear Safety Training Test.
LIMS programming
Analysts must have excellent verbal and written communication skills because frequent interaction with requestors of lab services is required.
ICP mass spectrometry
The Lab Analyst must be able to operate the laboratory information management system (LIMS) and the instrument control computers of a variety of types that are routinely used for the collection, analysis, storage, and retrieval of data from various reference standards and process samples run throughout the lab.Analysts must be capable of utilizing complex electrical controllers, data handling devices, and computers.
Must be able to intermittently lift up to 45 lbs. Individually.
Must be able to work continuous rotating shift work
Operation of laboratory mechanical equipment common to sub-specialty area such as centrifuge, vacuum pump, oven, gas regulator valves and waste sump pumps or cut off machines, drill press, grinders and metrology tools is required.Problem identification and troubleshooting of this equipment is necessary.
A minimum of eighteen (18) months of laboratory work experience, or equivalent experience outside an academic institution, is required. The experience must include responsibilities involving mechanical and electronic equipment troubleshooting, as well as demonstrated ability to correctly interpret and utilize instrument manuals, equipment drawings, and diagnostic procedures.
Must be willing to take a drug test as part of the selection process.
Demonstrated understanding of complex mathematical and chemical equations is required.
Ion chromatography
Proficient in Microsoft Office Computer Software.
Working with acids, bases, solvents, radioactive materials, and other hazardous materials is necessary and routine.
Must be able to pass a nuclear safety training test.
Demonstrated experience in electronic data transfer and/or digital image analysis is desirable.
A baccalaureate degree in chemistry or a physical science is required.
Must be able to use computers.
Lab Analysts must obtain certification for all assigned job functions and demonstrate the capability to perform at least three (3) of the tasks identified within the relevant sub-specialty category, as well as any unique or newly introduced analyses and tests as they arise. Lab Analysts is also responsible for maintaining active certification by completing all required re-certification activities as they become due.
Liquid or gas chromatography
Must be willing to complete a written assessment of knowledge as part of the selection process.
Must be willing to submit to a background investigation as part of the selection process.
Must be 18 years or older.
Prior nuclear plant work experience.
Use of proper precision laboratory techniques such as pipetting, titrating, analytical weighings, making quantitative transfers, and preparing volumetric dilutions is required.Techniques such as sample encapsulation, heat-treating, hardness testing, chemical and thermal etching, and digital image analysis are also essential.
Demonstrated experience with and strong knowledge in at least three of the following areas is required:
This role is restricted to U.S. persons (i.e., U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) due to access to export-controlled technology. GE will require proof of status prior to employment.
In order to maximize support to shop operations, the Lab Analyst is required to progress in knowledge of appropriate production-floor processes.At a minimum, the importance of routine lab samples in process control and product acceptability must be clearly understood.
