Build your career in craft cannabis — no experience required to start, real room to grow.

At Starbase, we're on a mission to become the most trusted name in cannabis — and we're looking for hands-on, detail-driven people to help us get there. As a Production Technician at our state-of-the-art Pittsfield facility, you won't be stuck doing one repetitive task all day. You'll cross-train across every stage of production — pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, and packaging — building a versatile skill set that opens doors across the cannabis industry.

Why you'll want this job:

• A predictable 4-day workweek. Monday–Thursday, 7:00am–5:30pm. Three-day weekends, every week.
• Real cross-training, not just a job title. You'll rotate through grinding and pre-roll production, vape filling, edibles (extraction, infusion, baking), and packaging — building skills that make you more valuable over time, not less.
• A team that means it about values. Integrity, accountability, problem-solving, and teamwork aren't posters on the wall here — they're how we actually operate day to day.
• Ground floor of something growing. You'll be part of shaping what craft cannabis looks like in New England, on a team that's still building.

What you'll actually be doing:

Production

• Grind flower and run equipment for pre-roll production
• Fill vape pens with precision and care
• Support extraction, infusion, and baking processes for our edibles line

Packaging & Prep

• Package pre-rolls, flower, and edibles into finished, retail-ready product
• Label everything accurately and in line with Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) requirements
• Run quality checks before anything ships to packaging
• Weigh and portion product with consistency

Facility & Inventory Support

• Keep your workstation and the facility clean and compliant
• Set up materials and equipment at the start of each shift
• Help receive, store, and track inventory
• Jump in on loading/unloading deliveries when needed

Compliance & Documentation

• Follow all SOPs and CCC regulations for handling cannabis products
• Keep accurate production, packaging, and inventory records (including METRC)
• Flag discrepancies or issues to your supervisor right away

Team

• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with your team to hit daily production goals
• Speak up early about workflow snags, challenges, or equipment needs

What you bring:

• Ability to obtain a Marijuana Establishment Agent Registration Card (we'll walk you through this if you haven't done it before)
• High school diploma or GED preferred
• Experience in warehouse, packaging, kitchen/food production, or cannabis environments is a plus — not required
• Sharp attention to detail and comfort with repetitive, precision work
• Basic math skills for weighing and measuring
• Familiarity with METRC or similar tracking systems a plus, not a must
• Comfort with strict safety and compliance standards
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stay on your feet, bending and moving through a full shift
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with strong plant odors and a temperature-controlled setting
