Protonify Corporation is seeking two self-motivated and dependable Production Technicians to support the expansion of our processing operations.

The successful candidates will initially work alongside our established day-shift team to receive hands-on training in our equipment, systems, operating procedures, safety requirements and documentation practices. Once fully trained and qualified, they will transition with a supervisor to a new evening shift focused on increasing equipment utilization and overall production capacity.

Because the evening team will operate with less direct support, we are looking for honest, reliable, safety-conscious individuals who take ownership of their work, follow procedures carefully, and communicate problems promptly.

Previous cannabis-industry experience is not required.

- Handle, identify, weigh, transfer and track production materials.
- Perform routine equipment inspections, basic troubleshooting and authorized maintenance.

- Support continuous improvement and increased overall productivity.
