What does a trim tech do?

A Trim Tech, short for Trim Technician, is responsible for cutting, trimming, and processing harvested plants, most commonly in the cannabis industry. They remove excess leaves, stems, and other unwanted materials from the buds to ensure a clean and high-quality product. Trim Techs may use scissors or automated trimming machines and are expected to work efficiently while maintaining attention to detail. Their work ensures that the final product meets industry standards for appearance and quality. In some cases, they may also assist with packaging and quality control.
