Cannabis Greenhouse Cultivation Technician Entry Level Jobs

Do you have experience caring for plants in a greenhouse? Want to begin or expand your experience in the cannabis industry? We are looking for people that take pride in their work and want to be part of a team that has respect for each other, the plants we tend, and the world we share. No prior cannabis experience required.

We are seeking a Greenhouse Cultivation Technician to add your valuable expertise to our team! We conduct cannabis R&D and breeding in a highly-controlled environment under an OLCC Cannabis Research Certificate, because we believe in the transformative power of this amazing plant. It requires a team that takes pride in quality and precision, respect for each other, the plants we tend, and the world we share.

We value a team with diverse backgrounds, and seek people that bring unique contributions in education, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran's status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.

We’ve made good progress in reducing water waste, nutrient run-off, and other outputs - and continually looking for more ways to make a positive impact in agricultural sustainability.
