What is an Independent Contractor Cannabis job?

An Independent Contractor in the cannabis industry is a self-employed worker who provides specialized services to cannabis businesses without being a direct employee. These contractors may work in roles such as cultivation, sales, consulting, delivery, or compliance. They operate under a contract, meaning they handle their own taxes, business expenses, and schedules. This type of work offers flexibility but requires knowledge of cannabis laws and regulations in the region where they operate.

Job description

Company: Burly Botanicals, LLC

Location: Norman, OK (On-site facility)

Project Type: Contract / Seasonal / On-Call

Scope of Work

This is a 1099 independent contractor position. As a contract trimmer, you will be responsible for processing harvested material during specific production windows. You provide the speed and precision; we provide the space and premium material.

  • Precision Hand-Trimming: Efficiently manicuring dry flower to meet Burly Botanicals' precise aesthetic guidelines (manicured look, zero crow's feet, preserved trichome integrity).
  • Material Separation: Accurately separating premium A-grade buds, B-grade/popcorn buds, and sugar leaf trim into designated bins.
  • Waste Management: Ensuring stems and fan leaves are completely stripped of usable material to maintain high yield metrics.
  • Compliance Protocol: Cooperating with facility managers for accurate pre- and post-work weigh-ins to ensure strict state tracking adherence.
Strict Compliance & Legal Requirements

To be eligible for this contract, all independent operators must meet the following Oklahoma state mandates:

  • OMMA Employee Credential: Must possess an active, valid OMMA Employee Credential Badge and be prepared to display it at all times while on the premises.
  • Age Limit: Must be 21 years of age or older.
  • Identification: Must provide a valid government-issued photo ID.
  • Background Screening: Must have a clean background check on file in accordance with OMMA licensing standards.
Required Skills & Experience
  • Proven Track Record: At least 1+ years of commercial cannabis hand-trimming experience is highly preferred.
  • Speed & Quality: Ability to maintain a fast pace (e.g., target of 1 to 1.5+ lbs of cleanly manicured dry flower per day) without sacrificing the look of the bud.
  • Equipment: Must bring your own clean, sterile, and well-maintained trimming shears (Chikamasa, Fiskars, etc.). We provide the trimming trays and rubbing alcohol.
  • Focus: Ability to stay highly focused and productive during long production stretches.
Terms of Engagement
  • Schedule: On-call/per-project basis. Harvest schedules fluctuate; we will notify roster contractors 3 to 7 days in advance of a trimming window.
  • Payment Terms: Paid per fully completed and approved pound (or contract hour). Payouts are processed upon project completion and verified weigh-in by the compliance manager.
  • Tax Status: Form 1099 will be issued. Contractors are entirely responsible for their own state and federal income taxes. A W-9 will be required.

Burly Botanicals conducts all operations in strict compliance with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). All contract work is subject to state-mandated tracking and verification.
