At Minnesota Cannabis Services, we’re not just building businesses — we’re building the people who make them great. Our team partners with leading operators across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail to deliver world-class expertise in legal, finance, analytics, marketing, HR, and technology.

We’re looking for professionals who take pride in their work, move with purpose, and thrive in fast-changing environments. The kind of people who hold themselves to high standards, think creatively, and find satisfaction in solving hard problems.

When you join our team, you’ll work alongside some of the most experienced leaders in the industry — professionals who share their knowledge freely and lead by example. You’ll be challenged, supported, and trusted to take ownership of meaningful work that shapes the future of one of the fastest-growing industries in America.

About the Role

Minnesota Cannabis Services partners with licensed cannabis operators across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail. We are hiring dependable, hardworking people to join our seasonal Cannabis Harvest Crew, supporting harvest operations at licensed cultivation sites operated by our clients across Minnesota.

This is a hands-on agricultural position. The crew works together to cut plants, deleaf and buck material, hang plants and branches for drying, move harvested material, and keep harvest areas clean and organized. The work is physical, fast-paced, and time-sensitive: once harvest begins, plants need to be cut, processed, and moved into drying or storage efficiently.

Cannabis or farm experience is helpful but not required. We will train people who show up on time, work hard, follow directions, and work well with a crew.

What You'll Do

• Cut down mature cannabis plants and cut them into manageable sections and branches
• Remove fan leaves and excess plant material; de-leaf harvested plants and branches
• Buck or shuck flower from stalks when required
• Hang whole plants or branches in drying areas
• Load, unload, and move plants, branches, totes, bins, and other harvest materials
• Keep strains and harvest lots separated as instructed
• Help weigh and organize harvested material when needed
• Clean scissors, tools, totes, work areas, and harvest equipment
• Remove stalks, leaves, and plant waste, and keep the harvest area clean and organized
• Follow instructions from crew leads and site management
• Follow all site safety, security, and cannabis compliance procedures
• Perform other harvest-related duties as needed

What You Bring

Required:

• Must be at least 21 years of age
• Able to reliably arrive on time to assigned worksites, including rural locations, throughout Minnesota
• Available to start on short notice when harvest begins, and to work long days, weekends, and schedule changes driven by crop readiness and weather
• Able to maintain a steady working pace for a full shift while handling plants carefully
• Able to follow instructions and work well as part of a crew
• Able to meet all state requirements for employment at a licensed cannabis facility in Minnesota

Preferred:

• Previous cannabis, farm, orchard, vineyard, landscaping, construction, warehouse, or other physical labor experience

Physical Requirements

The following are essential functions of this position and must be performed with or without reasonable accommodation:

• Lift and carry up to 50 pounds, including plants, totes, and bins, repeatedly throughout the shift
• Stand, walk, bend, stoop, kneel, and reach for extended periods, including full shifts from sunrise to sunset
• Perform repetitive hand and wrist work using scissors, pruners, and other sharp hand tools
• Work outdoors in heat, cold, rain, and other seasonal weather, as well as in greenhouses, barns, and drying rooms
• Work in environments with plant dust, pollen, strong odors, and other potential allergens

Any offer of employment is contingent on the successful completion of our pre-employment process, which includes your written consent to a background check conducted by a third-party consumer reporting agency.

This position also requires that you obtain and maintain any credential required by the state in which you will work. We will provide instructions after an offer is extended.
