You’ll work closely with cultivation teams, laboratory staff, and quality assurance personnel to ensure optimal plant health and support research objectives. The role often requires spending time in both greenhouse or indoor grow environments and laboratory settings. Additionally, cannabis breeders may participate in meetings to discuss results and strategies for developing new strains with desired qualities, ensuring a dynamic and collaborative work environment.

About Us

11 years from our humble beginnings as the founders of Fruitridge Health & Wellness in Sacramento, Connected now maintains a portfolio of proprietary top-shelf cannabis genetics cultivated in state-of-the-art grow facilities. We are proud to be the largest grower of premium flower in California.
