About the role

From target to the clinic. AbCellera's platform integrates biology, computation, and engineering to develop impactful antibody-based medicines. We're scientists, engineers, and business professionals who work together to turn scientific insights into breakthrough medicines. We pursue truth and scientific rigor. We think independently, act with conviction, and have the courage to work at the edge of the unknown. We offer the opportunity to stretch and explore, and to work on things that matter.

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our Quality team as a QC Technician for a 12-month term. You will support QC operations through hands-on sample management, stability program coordination, and documentation activities that enable product release and regulatory compliance. Your role offers the opportunity to learn GMP principles, contribute to analytical workflows, and grow within a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

How you might spend your days

  • Owning sample management processes: pulling, aliquoting, shipping, maintaining chain of custody
  • Supporting QC stability program through scheduling, data entry, trending, review, and reporting
  • Generating Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), Control Record Files (CFRs) for internal and external programs; assist in batch release activities
  • Supporting reference material management (tracking, storage, inventory, and qualification/requalification)
  • Assisting with lab material ordering, inventory management, and general housekeeping to ensure GMP readiness
  • Cross-training on selected analytical methods to provide flexibility in QC resourcing
  • Cross-training on selected microbiological methods such as routine water sampling and environmental monitoring
  • Contributing to Analytical Method Transfer (AMT) activities once trained
  • Participating in document preparation and data management to support regulatory submissions and audits
  • Supporting implementation of digital systems (e.g., LIMS, inventory tracking tools) as needed
  • Collaborating with QC team members and providing support during investigations, non-routine testing, and project-specific deliverables

We'd love to hear from you if

  • You have strong organizational and time-management skills with attention to detail and accuracy
  • You are proficient in data entry, record keeping, and document control in a regulated environment
  • You have an understanding of aseptic technique and good laboratory practices (GLP/GMP awareness preferred)
  • You are familiar with basic laboratory equipment and sample handling procedures (pulling, aliquoting, labeling, shipping)
  • You are able to follow written procedures and maintain chain-of-custody documentation
  • You are comfortable working with digital tools and databases (e.g., LIMS, Excel, inventory tracking systems)
  • You are capable of generating and reviewing standard QC documentation such as CoAs, CFRs, and logbooks
  • You have strong interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate within cross-functional teams
  • You are eager to learn analytical methods and support method transfer and qualification activities
  • You are proactive, adaptable, and motivated to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and audit readiness
