What the role is about:

The Trim Lead is a non-exempt (hourly) role that reports to the Assistant Manager of Trim (ASM) and is responsible for overseeing and assisting with the efficient processing of material allocated for Trim. The role is primarily accountable for daily data collection, maintaining continuous production flow, and maintaining high quality while material is processed. The Trim Lead works closely with the ASM to maintain production standards, serves as the primary point of oversight for trim technicians in the ASM’s absence, and leads by example by consistently adhering to correct processes and expectations. With approximately 30 full-time Post Harvest Technicians assigned to production areas on a rotating basis, the Trim Lead provides operational direction and people management for the technicians in their area at any given time.

• Prepare material for testing by batching and recording accurate METRC IDs, and communicate with Supply Chain when testing batches are ready
• Record data accurately in all required platforms, including Google Sheets and Excel, covering technician performance, trimmer weights, time per batch, waste, and Trim and Bud Packaging Notes
• Coach and develop technicians, enforce operational rules, motivate the team toward performance targets, and resolve questions and conflicts with leadership (approximately 30% of time)
• Run room setup and closing, maintain supply stock and equipment, and oversee the Trim area independently when the ASM is unavailable
• Monitor hourly progress and quality to maintain continuous production flow from Trim to Pack and Joints
• Oversee cleaning checklists, ensure hygiene standards and clean tools, and wear required PPE to maintain facility cleanliness and safety (approximately 10% of time)
