Warehouse Specialist

Position Overview

The Picking Specialist is responsible for accurately pulling, packing, and staging outbound cannabis orders in a fast-paced, highly regulated warehouse environment.

• Build totes/pallets for outbound manifests and label them accurately per OCM packaging and manifest requirements.
• Stage completed orders by route in coordination with dispatch and the Distribution Supervisor, ensuring orders are ready ahead of scheduled departure times.
• Perform daily and scheduled cycle counts, immediately flagging and documenting any discrepancies per SOP.
• Absorb inbound product as needed: count, scan in, and put away in the correct rack/bin location.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and audit-ready pick area at all times, following 5S/warehouse organization standards.
• Follow all NY OCM and internal chain-of-custody protocols for handling, security, and recordkeeping of cannabis product.
• Report any equipment issues, damaged product, or safety hazards to the Warehouse Manager immediately.
• Collaborate with pickers, drivers, and supervisors to keep orders moving efficiently through the warehouse.
• Maintain satisfactory attendance with consistency and dependability in a manifest-driven, deadline-sensitive operation.
• Cross Training in other departments.

Qualifications

• Comfortable using RF/Bluetooth scanners and inventory software; experience with Canix, METRC, or a similar seed-to-sale platform a plus.
• Must be 21 years of age or older, per state cannabis regulations.
• Ability to pass a background check per OCM licensing requirements.
• High level of attention to detail with a track record of accurate, error-free work.
