Aloha wonderful peeps of Future4200,
I apologize if this isn’t the correct forum to post this but I am currently in the market looking for a new potential company that I can work for, call home, and build/grow with. I am currently a Consulting Extraction/MFG manager for the largest medical marijuana company (Noa Botanicals) on Oahu, HI. I am on contract with them until March 1st and I have been with them since October 2019. I helped upgrade their lab to prepare for the Rec market to hit Hawaii as well as help them with product development and bringing new products to the Hawaii market. We do ethanol extraction and we were stuck on bucket tech until I got there. I proposed a Lab Nordic 100L centrifuge with a cooling system for the washing, a filtration skid instead of our buchner funnel filtration method, Lab Nordic Alcohol Evaporator instead of our 20L AI rotovap, and a Lab Nordic Wiped Film Distillation unit instead of our 2L Summit SPD. I got offered a full time position with them but I will not be accepting it due to the cost of living out here and I have a fiance/wife back home in Colorado that isn’t necessarily to keen on moving 3500 miles away to live in the middle of the ocean. I am open to relocating as long as it isn’t in the middle of the ocean lol. I have been in the industry doing extractions since 2016 working for Venom Extracts, The Green Solution, and Charlottes Web in Colorado. I have experience with alcohol extraction, hydrocarbon extraction as well as CO2 extraction. I also have a degree in Biochemistry from CU in Boulder. I was wondering if any of you kind souls could point me in the right direction or put me in contact with employers that are possibly looking for an Extraction/MFG manager. I really appreciate it and i absolutely love this community and the knowledge that you all have provided!
Mahalo
