About Snow Grow LLC

This is a highly competitive position, and we encourage early applications.

What This Job Is Really Like
This is not a position where you'll spend the day simply talking about cannabis.
Much like a pharmacy technician, you'll balance patient care with medication preparation, inventory management, compliance, and maintaining an organized workspace.
Our culture is relaxed and supportive, but the work itself is fast-paced, detail-oriented, and requires staying productive throughout the shift.
Success in this role requires the ability to:
- Stay organized while frequently switching between tasks
- Maintain accuracy, even during busy periods
- Work independently without waiting to be told what to do
- Learn and consistently follow detailed procedures
- Take pride in keeping inventory accurate and the store ready for patients
- Remain calm, professional, and patient-focused under pressure
There is always meaningful work to be done, and team members are expected to actively look for the next task once they complete the current one.
Physical & Technical Requirements
This is an active position that requires:
- Standing and walking for most of the shift
- Frequent bending, reaching, and moving inventory
- Repetitive hand and wrist movements (packing flower, twisting pre-rolls, labeling)
- Accurate use of digital scales and measurement tools
- Following strict packaging and labeling procedures
- Keeping pace with continual inventory movement throughout the day
Key Responsibilities
- Welcome patients and verify certifications and identification in accordance with Maine OCP regulations
- Educate patients on cannabis products, dosing, terpenes, strains, and safe consumption
- Operate the POS system while maintaining strict cash-handling accuracy
- Package and label medical cannabis products according to company procedures
- Maintain compliance with Maine Office of Cannabis Policy regulations and Snow Grow Standard Operating Procedures
- Perform inventory counts and maintain accurate inventory records
- Restock products and keep displays organized
- Maintain a clean, organized, patient-ready dispensary
- Assist with general daily operations as needed
