If you have a genuine curiosity for how plants grow and love being part of a collaborative team, you'll thrive here.

YOUR DAY TO DAY

• Conduct daily plant inspections, watching for pests, pathogens, mold, fungi, or other concerns
  Execute plant care processes — pruning, moving, trellising, harvesting, trimming, drying, and curing — in line with company protocols
  Perform routine plant maintenance across all stages of the growth and harvest cycle
  Keep your work area clean, organized, and ready for the next task
  Maintain accurate logs relevant to your role
  Pitch in on additional tasks that keep the team and department running smoothly
