Who We Are
At MIA Retail Systems, we're a family-owned, vertically integrated hemp powerhouse — spanning manufacturing, retail, wholesale, e-commerce, and our fast-growing hemp beverage line. You'll see our family of brands across Canna Ocho (Little Havana), Canna Like This (Sunrise), CBD.co, Destinofarms.com and more.
This role sits on the manufacturing team — our high-volume hemp pre-roll production house. We move fast, work hard, and grow even faster — doubling (and sometimes tripling) revenue has been the norm. We're proud of the momentum, but we don't do chaos: we care about doing things right and treating people right.
Our Core Values
13. Extreme Ownership — own your results AND your teams, never pass the blame, we don't point fingers, see things through
14. Solutions Driven — sees opportunities in obstacles, keep positive under pressure, do whatever it takes
15. Gritty and Humble — we work hard, keep our heads down, never let our ego get too big, "don't step over the trash"
16. Growth Oriented — we learn & we grow, seek feedback for growth
If those core values align with you, please apply for consideration.
The Role
Processing Technicians are the upstream engine of every pre-roll we produce. You'll receive bulk hemp flower, buck, grind, sift, weigh, and stage product for the King Kone rolling lines. Every batch you prepare must be correctly identified by strain, free of stems and contaminants, and weighed to spec — your work directly determines whether downstream rolling stations can hit their throughput targets.
What You'll Do
- Receive and verify incoming bulk hemp flower against inbound paperwork (weight, strain, COA, batch number)
- Buck flower from stems; sort by quality grade
- Grind flower to the consistency required for King Kone cone-filling (typically a medium grind)
- Sift to remove fines, stems, and contaminants per quality standards
- Weigh ground flower into pre-portioned batch totes by strain
- Label every tote with strain name, batch ID, weight, and date — zero tolerance for mislabeled material
- Maintain strict strain segregation throughout the process (separate workstations, equipment cleaning between strains)
- Operate and clean grinders, sifters, scales, and bucking equipment
- Document batch records: input weight, output weight, yield, and waste
- Manage staging of processed material to feed King Kone operators without bottlenecks
- Conduct ISO cleanup procedures and end-of-shift sanitation

- Must be 18+
- Must be able to pass E-Verify for authorization to work in the U.S. (I-9 & W-4 required)

- Comfortable with the Major League Trees dress code: closed-toe shoes, full-length pants, hairnets, no loose jewelry or strong fragrances on the production floor
- 1+ year of manufacturing, food production, agricultural, or cannabis/hemp processing experience
- Comfortable handling, smelling, and working in close proximity to hemp flower
- Strong organizational skills and ability to keep meticulous batch records
- Basic math skills for weighing, yield calculations, and waste tracking
- Bonus: cannabis or hemp trim, processing, or extraction lab experience
- Bonus: forklift certification (we'll provide certification for qualified candidates)
Physical Requirements
- Ability to stand for extended periods (8–10 hour shifts with scheduled breaks)
