About The Position

Eternity Systems/MTNA, Inc. is seeking an experienced, hands-on Industrial Maintenance Technician II for first shift at its Rancho Cucamonga industrial service center, which washes and processes reusable plastic containers. The facility operates 24 hours a day, six days per week. The technician supports production by maintaining equipment reliability, minimizing downtime, and helping ensure safe, efficient operations in a fast-paced, high-volume production environment.

This role requires advanced electrical troubleshooting capabilities, strong mechanical knowledge, and the ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex equipment failures with minimal supervision. The technician will take ownership of repairs from diagnosis through testing and return to operation, proactively identify potential failures, and implement effective long-term solutions. The position also supports preventive and predictive maintenance, production breakdown response, equipment reliability improvements, maintenance documentation, and communication with Maintenance and Operations leadership.

The work involves industrial electrical systems and production equipment, including three-phase motors, VFDs, control circuits, conveyors, pumps, gearboxes, bearings, and pneumatic systems. Duties may also include electrical panel work, motor wiring, welding, fabrication, mechanical repairs, and qualified maintenance of forklifts and material-handling equipment. The technician must follow facility safety requirements, including LOTO, electrical safety, machine guarding, and PPE procedures.

The position is full-time, scheduled from 5:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Overtime and weekend availability may be required based on operational needs, equipment breakdowns, and scheduled preventive maintenance. The pay range is $42.00–$44.00 per hour, based on experience, skills, and qualifications. The role requires physical activity such as standing, walking, bending, kneeling, reaching, and climbing; lifting and moving materials and equipment up to 50 pounds; and working around industrial machinery in wet, hot, cold, and noisy environments. The company does not sponsor or transfer employment visas for this position.
