We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Part-Time Cultivation Assistant to support daily operations in our indoor living soil cultivation facility in Bellingham. This role focuses on hands-on plant care, canopy maintenance, sanitation, and soil stewardship. We are looking for a Wednesday and Thursday position to start.
You will work directly in an indoor, climate-controlled grow environment. While prior cultivation experience is appreciated, reliability, a clean work ethic, and an eagerness to follow precise standard operating procedures (SOPs) are what matter most.
Key Responsibilities
Canopy & Plant Maintenance: Assist with de-leafing, pruning, trellising, tucking, and plant staking across veg and flower rooms.
Irrigation & Soil Care: Assist with hand-watering, top-dressing amendments, moving media, and monitoring moisture levels across soil beds and containers.
Sanitation & Facility Hygiene: Maintain strict cleanliness protocols—sweeping, mopping runoff areas, wiping down surfaces, scrubbing trays/reservoirs, and emptying waste bins.
Harvest Turnover Support: Assist with take-downs, whole-plant hanging, room turnarounds, and bed re-amending between cycles.
Requirements And Qualifications
Age Requirement: Must be 21 years of age or older (mandatory per Washington State cannabis regulations; valid state-issued photo ID required).
Physical Demands:
Ability to stand, bend, kneel, reach overhead, and crouch for extended periods under intense indoor grow lights.
Comfortable lifting and carrying up to 40–50 lbs (soil bags, amendment tubs, irrigation lines).
Tolerant of warm, humid indoor conditions typical of a cultivation room.
Attention to Detail & Purity: Ability to strictly adhere to facility hygiene guidelines (clean footwear/clothing, cross-contamination prevention).
Reliability: Punctual, honest, clear in communication, and consistent in completing daily checklists.
Background: Prior commercial nursery, indoor horticulture, or farming experience is a plus, but we are willing to train candidates who bring a strong work ethic and focus.
Please submit your application by email include a brief note explaining your interest and relevant background (horticulture, warehouse, or physical labor experience) and resume or summary of your recent work history.
