WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

The Quality Assurance Specialist (QAS) is an entry-level quality assurance role designed to develop foundational expertise in laboratory quality systems, regulatory compliance, and data integrity within a Virginia Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (VELAP), a Chapter 45 certified wastewater laboratory. This position requires substantial hands-on experience in environmental or wastewater laboratory testing. The QAS is expected to bring strong analytical knowledge, familiarity with Standard Methods, EPA methods, 40 CFR Part 136, and a solid understanding of routine laboratory operations. The QAS supports the daily implementation and maintenance of the laboratory’s quality system while learning the regulatory framework governing accredited environmental testing laboratories, including TNI (The NELAC Institute) standards, Virginia’s Chapter 45 and applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Working under the guidance of the Quality Assurance Officer (QAO), the QAS assists with quality control (QC) review, documentation, internal audits, and regulatory preparedness activities. This role provides structured training, hands-on experience, and progressive responsibility. Your work will be a critical component of UOSA’s Vision to be globally recognized for its leadership in protecting the region’s water resources.
