About The Position

Hands-on working lead responsible for executing daily post-harvest operations and coordinating a small crew. Ensures accurate batch handling from dry-room takedown through machine/hand trim, cure, and bulk sample pulls in strict alignment with SOPs and state program rules.

Requirements

• 1–2+ years in cannabis cultivation or post-harvest; strong fundamentals in drying/curing and trim quality.
• Comfortable operating trimming equipment; basic mechanical aptitude.
• Accurate, compliant recordkeeping; basic Excel/Google Sheets.
• Clear communicator; able to coach peers tactically during a shift.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate daily tasks for the trimming/takedown crew; assign stations and set pace to plan.
• Perform and supervise dry-room takedown: de-hang, buck, stage, and label plant material by batch.
• Set up, operate, and light-maintain machine trimmers (e.g., blade swaps, cleaning, speed/feed calibration).
• Lead hand-trim tables: train on trim standards (shape, crow’s-feet removal, minimal loss).
• Execute curing operations: load/unload vessels, log RH/temperature, “burp” per SOP, and escalate variances.
• Take and document bulk/COA samples: representative pulls, chain-of-custody, labeling, sealing.
• Use the seed-to-sale system (e.g., METRC/BioTrack) to record weights, movements, waste, and destruction.
• Complete sanitation before/after runs; maintain tool accountability and allergen/foreign-material controls.
• Record shift metrics (throughput, yield loss, trim recovery %, rework) and submit end-of-day reports.
• Follow safety and ergonomic practices (sharps, repetitive motion, lifting, PPE).
