Description

Medical Hand Carry Service Provider primarily for the reproductive medical community and life-sciences companies.

The primary job is to fly around the world transporting biological materials, human and non-human, from hospital to hospital, lab to lab. The job requires carrying a container that weighs about 10 kgs which must be carried as a back pack type of carry-on luggage. So you should be able to handle somewhat heavy carry-on luggage and enjoy a lot of travel across time zones.

The job is 100% travel related. The primary destinations we cover are Asia to the USA and the EU and surrounding areas. Main countries are Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, the USA, Canada, Georgia, Australia, Austria, South America etc.
The job requires you to pick up and drop off samples from one lab and transport the samples safely to the destination lab.
You must be open-minded and flexible with your thinking. Cannot enter panic mode. Schedules and conditions can change suddenly.
You should enjoy traveling - running around at airports and sleeping at different hotels every few days.
You must be able to handle jet-lag and be able to manage yourself efficiently. Most of the time you will be working by yourself and communicating with the team via apps or email, so you need to enjoy being independent and be able to rely on yourself and your abilities.

You should be available at minimum for two weeks a month or more.
A typical route: go to Taiwan for 2-3 days, pick up, then go to Los Angeles for 2-3 days to drop off, go to New York pick up and then to Bogota, Colombia to drop off and then back home.

Compensation: Pay will depend on various factors such as case/trip profitability. Generally, the per day pay will be around $200 USD for work days on the road. Hotel, transportation and meal allowance is provided. Potential for bonus pay is also possible. Ultimately the amount of money that you make will depend on how much you work.

There is the option of doing this job as a freelancer or as a company employee. We can discuss which option is best for your situation.

English is a must. Doesn't have to be perfect, but you must be able to work with airport personnel, security and customs.

Having a "power passport" is beneficial - you should at least be able to freely enter the United States and Europe either by passport held or Visa obtained.

Education level is not the most important thing. Being trustworthy, honest and reliable is most important. Having a good smile and nice personality is a must. You must be able to present yourself professionally and represent the company in a business like manner at all times.

This type of job may not be suitable for those with family or other job commitments - as you will be on the road a lot.

Generally an interesting job that allows you to travel to various destinations and see the world and make some money at the same time.
