• 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.

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.
