  • Previous experience operating or assisting with automated machinery (cannabis, food production, or manufacturing preferred).

  • Strong mechanical and problem-solving skills.

  • High attention to detail and commitment to quality.

  • Ability to work on your feet for extended periods and handle repetitive tasks.
