Position Description: About the Role

DACUT Cannabis is seeking an experienced, hands-on Facilities Manager – Cultivation to oversee the building systems, maintenance operations, equipment, and infrastructure supporting our commercial cultivation facility in Flint, Michigan.

This is a critical leadership position responsible for ensuring the facility remains safe, operational, properly maintained, and capable of supporting continuous large-scale indoor cannabis production. The Facilities Manager will oversee preventative maintenance, repairs, vendors, facility projects, and emergency response while working closely with Cultivation leadership to minimize downtime and protect production.

Our cultivation operation depends heavily on HVAC, environmental controls, electrical systems, plumbing, irrigation, lighting, dehumidification, water systems, and other specialized equipment. The Facilities Manager must understand how these systems work together and the operational impact that equipment failures can have on a live crop.

The ideal candidate has significant experience managing facilities within a commercial, industrial, manufacturing, controlled-environment agriculture, or similar high-demand environment and is comfortable being both a manager and a hands-on problem solver.

Coordinate electrical repairs involving lighting, circuits, panels, motors, pumps, controls, and cultivation equipment.
Identify electrical problems that require licensed electrical contractors.
Coordinate outside electricians for repairs, upgrades, and installations.

Respond immediately to leaks, pump failures, drainage issues, and other water-related emergencies.

Obtain quotes and assist with evaluating service proposals.
Ensure vendors understand facility requirements and properly complete assigned work.
