HiFyve is hiring an Electro-Mechanical Technician in the plastics manufacturing industry in Fontana, CA!
Salary: $34/hr – $42/hr (based on experience)
Shift: Full-Time – Primarily 1st Shift (7:00 AM – 3:00 PM, Monday–Friday)
Location: On-site – Fontana, CA
Position Overview
We are hiring an Electro-Mechanical Technician to support the Injection Molding Department at a leading plastics manufacturing facility in Fontana, CA.
This is a hands-on, hybrid role combining maintenance, changeovers, process optimization, and technical support — not a traditional single-function maintenance position.
Unlike conventional manufacturing environments with separate roles for operators, maintenance, and changeovers, our technicians are cross-functional and handle multiple aspects of production.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform preventive and reactive maintenance on injection molding equipment (approx. 600-ton Husky machines).
- Handle changeovers, setups, and process adjustments to support production uptime.
- Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical issues, including sensors, VFDs, and other components.
- Provide technical support for process improvement and troubleshooting.
- Collaborate with production teams to maintain quality and efficiency standards.
- Support blow molding operations when necessary and cross-train across platforms.
- Assist during off-shift hours for training, breakdowns, or emergencies.
- Participate in on-call/weekend support rotation as needed.
Qualifications
- Strong mechanical aptitude with hands-on troubleshooting skills.
- Basic to intermediate electrical knowledge — understanding of components, circuits, and controls.
- Programming not required.
- No robotics experience necessary.
- Background in injection molding preferred (brand experience flexible).
- Experience with Husky or similar 600-ton injection molding equipment highly transferable.
- Candidates from other industries welcome; plastics experience is a plus.
- Ability to read technical documentation and perform hands-on diagnostics.
- Team-oriented, reliable, and comfortable in a hybrid maintenance role.
Compensation & Schedule
- Pay: $34 – $42/hour (based on experience)
- Shift: Primarily 1st Shift (7:00 AM – 3:00 PM, Monday–Friday)
- Must be flexible for occasional off-shift work, weekends, or holidays based on plant needs.
