We’re looking for an Extraction Manager to join our team in Northern Utah, roughly 15 minutes from downtown SLC. We will be performing hydrocarbon and solventless, potentially adding ethanol in the future. This position will be for a brand new facility in a market that is doing surprisingly well despite a large part of the local culture being biased against cannabis for so long. Cultivation, extraction, and production will all be housed in the same facility which is set to open roughly 10/1/2022. We would like to have somebody hired and working by August to help finish the lab’s setup. See below for the link to the job and more info.
