Siren is a family-owned, OLCC-licensed cannabis production facility. We are committed to providing quality craft cannabis to the Oregon recreational market. Owners Matt and Meghan Walstatter have been working as cannabis activists and entrepreneurs for more than two decades. As leaders in the Oregon cannabis industry, their advocacy is broad and far-reaching, with an emphasis on authentic and inclusive business practices, fair and reasonable legalization laws, and conscientious cultivation and use.

As a Siren Part-Time Cultivation Technician, your primary responsibilities are to help with defoliation, bucking and harvest. This will be accomplished by following the directions of the cultivation manager and the trim lead. Communication skills, organization, attention to safety and detail, and exceptional time management skills are critical to the success of the organization. You will be expected to work 9 or 10 days a month that will be scheduled far in advance. There is a possibility for extra days if the projects run long or we need help trimming but they won’t be required if you have other commitments. You must be open to constructive guidance to be able to learn and perform to Siren’s quality standards.

The dates you will be needed: Harvest is always on a Tuesday (approx. once a month) and defoliation and bucking take place mainly Monday-Thursday, with an occasional Friday as well. This means you would work 2 back-to-back weeks for bucking and defol with harvest taking place 1 or 2 weeks later, depending on which rooms are being harvested. Please only apply if this schedule works for you. The dates are not flexible.
