  • Support lab packaging and additional production tasks as needed.

What You'll Bring:

  • Strong organizational and communication skills with attention to detail.
  • A self-motivated and adaptable attitude, the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

  • Proficiency in documentation and inventory management, ensuring accurate record-keeping and organization.
  • Strong time management skills, capable of adhering to planned production schedules.
  • Proficiency in computer systems for data entry, tracking, and compliance reporting.

Even Better If:

  • You have 1 year of experience as a hydrocarbon extraction technician.
  • You have a degree in related science or engineering.
  • You possess advanced knowledge of cannabis and cannabis extracts.

***Please note that U.S. immigration rules and regulations are governed by federal law; not state law.  Although Curaleaf operates in states that have legalized and decriminalized marijuana, it is still considered a controlled substance under federal regulations and thus illegal under federal law.

Before a Lawful Permanent Resident accepts an offer of employment, Curaleaf recommends that the candidate seek the advice of an immigration lawyer.
