- Collaboration & Support:
- Work with cross-functional teams (cultivation, engineering, and lab) to align construction projects with grower needs (e.g., adjusting room layout for better light penetration).
- Coordinate with third-party contractors (electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians) to schedule and execute complex installations.
- Troubleshoot minor issues (e.g., leaky irrigation lines, faulty sensors) to keep the facility running smoothly between formal projects.
- Equipment & Tool Management:
- Operate power tools (drills, saws, impact wrenches) and hand tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, levels) with proper training and safety precautions.
- Perform routine maintenance on company tools (e.g., sharpening blades, calibrating measuring devices) to ensure functionality.

- High school diploma or GED (or equivalent work experience).
- 1–3 years of hands-on construction experience (commercial/residential) or related trade (e.g., carpentry, maintenance, irrigation).
