Lab Administrator

$19 - $23 per hour
Full-time

Merivale Optometric Centre

Lab Administrator

Merivale Vision Care
Full-Time

Support Patient Care. Elevate the Experience. Join Our Team.

At Merivale Vision Care, we are committed to delivering exceptional patient care through a combination of advanced eye care technology and a welcoming, patient-focused experience. As our clinic continues to grow, we are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Lab Administrator to join our team.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with patients, has an interest in eye health, and thrives in a fast-paced clinical environment. You will play a key role in supporting our doctors and ensuring patients receive a seamless experience throughout their visit. While there will be opportunities to assist with eyewear selection and dispensing, the primary focus of this position is pre-testing, diagnostics, and supporting the overall flow of the clinic.

Key Responsibilities

Lab Administration

  • Order lenses from various optical laboratories and monitor order progress
  • Manage frame orders for patients and maintain accurate inventory records
  • Enter new frames into inventory and assist with stock management
  • Respond to patient inquiries via phone and email regarding order status, delays, and updates
  • Monitor laboratory communications and proactively manage order delays
  • Communicate with patients regarding expected timelines and order updates
  • Perform regular order audits and status checks to identify overdue jobs
  • Coordinate patient follow-up for completed or delayed orders
  • Enter, reconcile, and maintain lens invoices and billing records
  • Coordinate with satellite clinic locations to ensure efficient turnaround times and clear communication regarding eyewear orders
  • Assist with frame purchasing and inventory management
  • Complete end-of-month inventory reconciliation and reporting

Edging & Production

  • Operate and maintain lens edging and finishing equipment
  • Fabricate prescription and non-prescription lenses according to frame specifications
  • Shape, bevel, polish, and finish lenses while maintaining quality standards
  • Read and interpret lens orders accurately
  • Verify lens fit, optical centration, and prescription accuracy
  • Perform safety bevels, slotting, and other finishing procedures as required
  • Conduct quality inspections to identify defects and ensure completed eyewear meets clinic standards
  • Document production work and maintain accurate records

What We're Looking For

  • Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Strong communication and customer service abilities
  • Mechanical aptitude and comfort working with precision equipment
  • Excellent hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Basic understanding of optical prescriptions, lens materials, coatings, and frame construction
  • Experience in an optical laboratory, manufacturing environment, or optical clinic is considered an asset
  • Certification in optical dispensing, opticianry, or optical laboratory technology is considered an asset

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation based on experience
  • Comprehensive training and ongoing development opportunities
  • Supportive and collaborative team environment
  • Opportunity to develop both technical and administrative skills within the optical industry
  • Long-term career growth within a growing organization

Schedule

  • Monday to Friday
  • Alternating shifts between 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM, and 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Compensation

$19.00 – $23.00 per hour

Previous optical or clinical experience is an asset, but we are happy to train the right candidate who is passionate about patient care and eager to learn.
