Harvest Technician (Wet & Dry)
The ideal candidate is very experienced with processing cannabis flowers and is able to trim a large volume per day while maintaining a high-quality standard of work. The Harvest Technician is expected to maintain trichome integrity, refrain from touching the flowers, and avoid cutting into or ‘shaping’ the flowers. The Harvest Technician will be reporting to the Harvest Manager and Harvest Supervisor for all daily tasks.
Responsibilities include:

• Harvesting whole plants for processing with care – following the SOP to maintain trichome integrity.
• Transporting harvested plants to dry rooms.
