These activities may fall within the selection, installation, operation, or decommissioning phases of the equipment lifecycle and may include preventative, predictive, corrective, project, repairs, calibration, improvements, qualification, etc. In addition, they will manage spare parts, equipment, and maintenance supplies. They will primarily interact with clinical operations, research, supply chain, procurement, and suppliers to ensure smooth running of our very complex operation system. They are expected to be a self-starter, a good manager of time, work independently, and follow standards. GRAIL’s testing volumes are scaling fast and require a dynamic and detail-oriented planner to help deliver our revolutionary test to as many people as possible.
