About the role
As a Cultivation Technician at Sinse Cannabis, you’ll work hands-on with cannabis plants at every stage of production — from propagation and canopy management through harvest, post-harvest trimming, and packaging support. This is a cross-functional, cross-trained role: you’ll develop real expertise across the full indoor cannabis grow cycle, with exposure to cultivation, harvest, and post-harvest processing departments.
Responsibilities
- Monitor cultivation and post-harvest areas daily — irrigation, environmental conditions, pest management (IPM), and overall crop quality
- Execute plant care tasks including propagation, transplanting, pruning, trellising, and harvesting per established SOPs
- Absorb post-harvest processing: bucking/destemming, trimming, sorting, and preparation for drying, curing, and packaging
- Conduct quality control checks during and after harvest to ensure product meets company standards
- Maintain accurate METRC/ERP data entry; assist with plant tagging, batch tracking, and inventory movements
- Support waste handling and destruction in compliance with Missouri cannabis regulations
- Uphold strict sanitation and biosecurity protocols — cleaning and disinfecting tools, equipment, and work areas routinely
- Transport plants and plant material throughout the facility for transplanting, room loading, harvesting, and processing
- Assist with facility setup and maintenance, including trellis installation, rack moves, and multi-tier cultivation system support
- Accurately complete task tracking and production records per company and regulatory requirements
- Collaborate with team members and management on crop status, workflow, and operational needs
- Support facility-wide projects including deep cleans, room resets, and preventative maintenance
Requirements
- High school diploma or GED required
- Must be at least 21 years of age and eligible to obtain a Missouri Cannabis Agent ID
- Prior experience in horticulture, indoor growing, or cannabis cultivation is a plus — but not required
- Strong attention to detail and clear, team-oriented communication skills
- Solid work ethic and genuine eagerness to learn in a fast-paced production environment
- Ability to perform repetitive tasks for extended periods while standing
- Physical ability to lift up to 75 lbs; bend, climb, and work above shoulder height; push carts and wheelbarrows; maneuver in confined spaces
