## Cultivation Technician (Weekend) — Aeriz | Riverbank, CA Aeriz is hiring a weekend Cultivation Technician at its Riverbank, California facility. If you want to get into commercial cannabis cultivation at a multistate operator known for aeroponic growing — this is a direct entry point. ### What Aeriz Actually Does Aeriz runs the largest multistate aeroponic cannabis operation in the United States. Their grow method — suspending roots in an oxygenated mist rather than soil or hydro media — is built around clean inputs, precise nutrient delivery, and quality consistency at scale. Operations span Arizona, Illinois, and California. The Riverbank facility is their Central Valley CA production hub. ### What the Role Covers This is a weekend-shift cultivation position working directly on the grow floor. Day-to-day tasks include: - Maintaining and mixing nutrient stock tanks from dry recipes; operating RO (reverse osmosis) water systems - Monitoring EC, PPM, pH, and water temperature in irrigation loops - Clone care: maintaining dome environments, tracking clone health, performing defoliation and trimming - Maintaining plants through the flower stage following lead/manager cultivation plans - Walking grow rooms at start and end of every shift; restocking common supplies; reporting anomalies This is structured, SOP-driven work. Aeriz runs a tight operation and expects consistent execution from technicians. ### Salary Range Not listed. Verify compensation at application. ### Required Skills - Ability to follow detailed cultivation SOPs and irrigation monitoring protocols - Basic understanding of plant biology or cannabis growth cycles (formal training not required, but curiosity is) - Comfortable working on your feet for extended periods in an indoor grow environment - Reliable weekend availability — this role is specifically weekend-scheduled - Strong attention to detail; comfort with measurement-heavy tasks (EC/pH/PPM monitoring) ### Benefits (Listed) Medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k); paid time off and paid holidays; casual dress. ### Growth Path Cultivation Technician is where most commercial growers start. At a scaled operation like Aeriz, the path runs: Technician → Lead Technician → Cultivation Supervisor → Grow Manager. The aeroponic skillset is also highly transferable — it's still uncommon enough in the CA market that experience here reads well on any cannabis grow resume. ### Region Notes Riverbank is in Stanislaus County in California's Central Valley — a growing hub for commercial cannabis manufacturing and cultivation, with lower real estate costs than the Bay or LA. If you're in the Modesto, Stockton, or Turlock area, this role is a legitimate path into the licensed cannabis industry without relocating. ### How to Stand Out Highlight any experience with hydroponic or aeroponic systems, even hobbyist-level. Familiarity with RO systems or nutrient mixing is a real advantage. Weekend reliability is the stated priority — call it out directly. Aeriz is a team-oriented operation; referencing their specific growing methodology in your application signals you did the homework. Apply via Vangst.
