Role summary

Hands-on working lead responsible for executing daily post-harvest operations and coordinating a small

crew. Ensures accurate batch handling from dry-room takedown through machine/hand trim, cure, and

bulk sample pulls in strict alignment with SOPs and state program rules.

Key responsibilities

- Coordinate daily tasks for the trimming/takedown crew; assign stations and set pace to plan.

- Perform and supervise dry-room takedown: de-hang, buck, stage, and label plant material by batch.

- Set up, operate, and light-maintain machine trimmers (e.g., blade swaps, cleaning, speed/feed

calibration).

- Lead hand-trim tables: train on trim standards (shape, crow’s-feet removal, minimal loss).

- Execute curing operations: load/unload vessels, log RH/temperature, “burp” per SOP, and escalate

variances.

- Take and document bulk/COA samples: representative pulls, chain-of-custody, labeling, sealing.

- Use the seed-to-sale system (e.g., METRC/BioTrack) to record weights, movements, waste, and

destruction.

- Complete sanitation before/after runs; maintain tool accountability and allergen/foreign-material

controls.

- Record shift metrics (throughput, yield loss, trim recovery %, rework) and submit end-of-day reports.

- Follow safety and ergonomic practices (sharps, repetitive motion, lifting, PPE).

Qualifications

- 1–2+ years in cannabis cultivation or post-harvest; strong fundamentals in drying/curing and trim

quality.

- Comfortable operating trimming equipment; basic mechanical aptitude.

- Accurate, compliant recordkeeping; basic Excel/Google Sheets.

- Clear communicator; able to coach peers tactically during a shift.

Physical/work environment

Stand/walk most of shift; repetitive hand motions; lift/push/pull up to 50 lbs; cool, low-humidity rooms.

Promotion milestones Supervisor

- Consistently hits plan on throughput and loss (< target % shrink); maintains cure logs with zero data

gaps.

- Demonstrates ability to train 3+ techs to standard with measurable quality improvement.

- Executes sample pulls and chain-of-custody with zero findings in internal audits for 60 days.

- Successfully leads at least one full-day cross-room rotation (takedown trim cure) without

escalation.
