About The Position

Eternity Systems/MTNA, Inc. is seeking an experienced, hands-on Industrial Maintenance Technician II to support production 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. This first-shift role supports equipment reliability and safe, efficient operations in a fast-paced, high-volume production environment. The technician is expected to work independently with minimal supervision, take ownership of repairs from diagnosis through testing and return to operation, and identify and address potential failures before they cause downtime.

The role focuses on advanced industrial electrical troubleshooting and mechanical maintenance, including three-phase motors, VFDs, control circuits, electrical panels, conveyors, pumps, gearboxes, bearings, and pneumatic systems. Duties also include preventive and predictive maintenance, root-cause analysis, electrical component selection and replacement, basic wiring diagram development, welding and fabrication, and qualified repairs to forklifts and material-handling equipment. The technician responds to production breakdowns, documents maintenance work, communicates equipment conditions and repair progress, and contributes to reliability and continuous-improvement efforts.

The position requires consistent compliance with safety procedures, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), electrical safety, machine guarding, and PPE requirements. Physical duties include standing, walking, bending, kneeling, reaching, climbing, and lifting or moving materials and equipment weighing up to 50 pounds. Work may take place around industrial machinery and electrical equipment in wet, hot, cold, and noisy environments. The role is full-time, scheduled from 5:00 AM to 1:30 PM; overtime and weekend availability may be required based on operational needs. Pay is $42.00–$44.00 per hour, based on experience, skills, and qualifications. Employment visa sponsorship or transfer is not available.
