Position Summary/Objective

The Cultivation Technician is responsible for assisting the managers in the day-to-day functions of the cultivation production areas, including propagation, cultivation, and harvest, as well as the post-harvest activities related to curing, trimming, packaging, and storing finished product. The Cultivation Technician is a detail-oriented, operational team player with strong communication skills.

Cultivation Technicians are an integral part of the cultivation and post-harvest team. By reporting the conditions observed of both the environment and crops, they help guide the overall success of every production cycle. No detail is too small, and a strong understanding of all the components needed to carry out each task is necessary for success. Additionally, minimizing miscommunications and taking seriously the concerns of other cultivation team members ensures a safe and responsible workplace. Specifically, the care with which clones are taken and maintained, plants are up-potted, how trellis is applied, pests are identified and reported, finished plants are harvested, and waste properly disposed of are at the forefront of the technician's priorities.

Cultivation Technicians have the distinction of participating heavily in quality control over all product the facility furnishes for stores and vendors. It is also a phase of the production cycle which requires daily interaction to prevent excessive moisture loss or conversely allowing any molds or bacteria to proliferate. There are many levels of quality control that multiple departments participate in, but the short time spent with the post-harvest team is crucial, considering its frequent handling and contact with multiple containers and surfaces. The Cultivation Technician's role in maintaining a sanitary and organized inventory of product depends upon the detail and thoughtfulness s/he exhibits in this position; primarily, the ability to effectively compartmentalize strains, batches, and corresponding numeric values to reduce any confusion or mislabeling.

We are seeking a passionate, driven, detail-oriented and collaborative Cultivation Technician to support the company's cultivation and post-harvest activities. The ideal candidate has the ability to adapt to our business model and is a collaborative team player but also a self-starter. Previous cannabis cultivation experience is not required. Role reports to the Cultivation Manager.
