    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
