Job description

Craft Cannabis, Made to Be Enjoyed

Our client is a vertically integrated cannabis cultivator, processor, and retailer with operations across seven states — Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. They're on a mission to redefine cannabis as a trusted part of everyday wellness, and they're looking for someone who takes real pride in the quality of what they make.

If you love the idea of working in a food-grade kitchen environment, turning raw ingredients into finished edible and ingestible products people actually enjoy, this could be your next role.

Quick Facts

Schedule: Full-Time, Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm
Pay: $17.50/hour

A Day in the Kitchen/What You Will Do:

You'll be hands-on in every stage of production — measuring and prepping ingredients to recipe, running kitchen equipment to bring products to life, and demolding cured product once it’s ready. From there, you’ll package and label everything to meet both regulatory and brand standards, restock supplies as needed, and keep your workstation clean and food-safe throughout your shift. Along the way, you’ll inspect your own work, catch anything that doesn't meet the bar, and keep accurate batch records and daily production counts.

What You'll Need to Get Started

• 21 years of age or older
• High school diploma or GED
• 6 months to 1 year of experience in a kitchen, food production, or manufacturing setting
• Willingness to obtain a Food Handler's Certificate, we will help you obtain this!
• Ability to pass a background check and obtain state cannabis worker credentials in Massachusetts.

What Makes You Stand Out

• An eye for detail and pride in producing consistent, high-quality work
• Comfort troubleshooting or adjusting machinery on the fly
• Adaptability in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
• A collaborative mindset and strong communication skills

Our client is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants of all backgrounds, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. Duties may evolve over time based on business needs.
