Trimmer

Trimmer — Essentials Cannabis (Aurora,Oregon)

Essentials Cannabis is more than just a brand—it’s a movement. Rooted in Oregon and operating out of an indoor LED cultivation facility, we grow and craft premium cannabis products with an obsessive focus on quality.

Our flower is the foundation of everything we do, and our trimming team plays a critical role in making sure every batch meets the Essentials standard.

We’re looking for experienced, reliable cannabis trimmers who take pride in their work, understand the importance of consistency, and want to be part of a growing Oregon cannabis company.

Role Overview

As a Trimmer at Essentials Cannabis, you will be responsible for carefully preparing harvested cannabis flower for packaging and sale. You’ll work as part of our production team to ensure flower is clean, properly manicured, and presented to the high standard our customers expect.

This is a production-focused position where speed matters—but quality comes first.

Schedule

Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM

Essentials operates on a perpetual harvest schedule, so trimming work is generally scheduled in dedicated trimming weeks approximately every other week.

Because harvest timing can vary, some trimming weeks may carry into the following week depending on when the preceding harvest is completed. Applicants should be comfortable with a production schedule that may shift slightly based on harvest volume and timing.

Pay

$85–$100 per finished pound

Pay is based on experience, trimming quality, consistency, and productivity.

High-performing trimmers who consistently produce clean, high-quality work are eligible for the top end of the pay range.

Key Responsibilities

• Hand-trim cannabis flower to Essentials quality standards.
• Remove excess leaf and stem while maintaining the natural structure and appearance of the flower.
• Maintain consistent trimming quality and presentation throughout each batch.
• Work efficiently toward daily production goals without sacrificing quality.
• Handle cannabis carefully to minimize unnecessary damage, breakage, and loss of product.
• Keep your work area clean, organized, and compliant with facility standards.
• Follow all company SOPs and Oregon cannabis regulations.
• Accurately track production and completed pounds.
• Maintain proper sanitation and personal hygiene throughout the workday.
• Communicate with the production team regarding quality issues, product condition, or workflow.
• Help maintain a positive, professional, and productive work environment.

What We're Looking For

• Previous commercial cannabis trimming experience preferred.
• Strong attention to detail and pride in finished work.
• Ability to maintain consistent quality over extended production periods.
• Ability to work efficiently and meet production expectations.
• Reliable attendance and punctuality.
• Comfortable performing repetitive production work for extended periods.
• Ability to follow detailed instructions and company SOPs.
• Positive attitude and ability to work independently as well as with a team.
• Must be 21 and eligible to work in the Oregon cannabis industry.
• Must be able to pass any required OLCC/background screening requirements.

The Essentials Standard

We aren't looking for someone who simply wants to put in hours and get paid by the pound.

We're looking for people who understand that the way we finish our flower matters.

Clean cuts. Consistent presentation. Minimal waste. Attention to detail.

If you're fast but careless, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're someone who can produce high-quality work at a consistent pace, we want to hear from you.

Why Join Essentials?

We're a growing Oregon cannabis company with a strong focus on quality, culture, and building something we're proud of.

You'll have the opportunity to work directly with a team that cares about the product and takes pride in doing things the right way.
