You’re excited to build a well-rounded skill set in cannabis cultivation and are open to working in different stages of the plant lifecycle. Whether supporting early plant development in the Nursery, maintaining plant health in Flower, or assisting with Harvest and post-cut processes, you bring curiosity, reliability, and a team-first mindset. You’re comfortable with hands-on work and eager to learn the specific processes that drive quality at each stage of cultivation.
