Your Shift, Visualized

You clock in for the afternoon shift, review the day’s run plan, and get set up with PPE and paperwork. You’ll spend focused blocks of time monitoring process stages, checking that readings and weights line up, and keeping records clean so everything stays traceable. Between runs, you’ll prep for what’s next, communicate handoffs with the team, and flag anything that could impact quality or timing. The pace is steady and hands-on, and you’ll learn from experienced operators as you gain confidence as a Cannabis Extraction Technician.
