Traits:

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and curiosity
  • Detail-oriented with a proactive approach to troubleshooting
  • Willingness to learn complex systems

Technical Skills Required:

  • Mechanical Systems: Confident in assembling/disassembling complex machinery.
  • Pneumatic Systems: Understanding of dual-action cylinders, solenoid valves, and system flow.
  • Electrical Systems: Basic troubleshooting using multimeters; low-voltage circuit experience a plus.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Previous experience operating cannabis pre-roll machinery or other production equipment.
  • Experience in cannabis post-harvest operations (trimming, packaging, etc.).
  • Familiarity with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and state compliance regulations.
  • Mechanical Aptitude Test results (WTMA, RMA, or CAT) are a bonus.
