  • Maintain clean and organized workstations and follow all SOPs, safety, and compliance protocols.
  • Collaborate with the production team to meet daily and weekly production goals.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Previous experience operating or assisting with automated machinery (cannabis, food production, or manufacturing preferred).
  • Strong mechanical and problem-solving skills.
  • High attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Ability to work on your feet for extended periods and handle repetitive tasks.
  • Must be 21+ and able to pass all required background checks (valid ID required)
