RADIANT PEOPLE & LEADERSHIP · RPL INC. In-House Maintenance Technician Full-Time · Two Locations, Los Angeles CA · Bilingual Preferred (EN/ES) · Growth Role

About the Role

Radiant People & Leadership (RPL Inc.) operates two McDonald's locations in the Los Angeles, CA area. We are hiring our first in-house Maintenance Technician — a foundational role for someone who wants to build a long-term career in facilities management within a growing restaurant operation.

This is a preventative-first, hands-on position. You will own scheduled maintenance across all kitchen and beverage equipment at both locations, catch problems before they become costly service calls, and serve as the go-to maintenance resource for our teams. We are not looking for someone who only responds when things break — we are looking for someone who takes pride in restaurants that never go down.

All supplier-led equipment training will be paid for by RPL. No prior McDonald's equipment experience is required — we invest in your development from day one.

What You'll Do

• Execute scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) routines across all kitchen and beverage equipment at both locations
• Diagnose and resolve basic electrical, HVAC, and mechanical issues before they escalate to outside service calls
• Maintain accurate equipment logs, service records, and maintenance histories
• Interface with supplier technicians and support warranty service claims
• Monitor and maintain HVAC systems, ice machines, walk-in coolers, and temperature-sensitive equipment
• Serve as first point of contact for maintenance issues across both restaurants

Equipment You'll Work With

Training on all McDonald's-specific equipment is provided and paid for by RPL.

Kitchen Production:

• Garland Grills (MWG-9501 / MWG2W-1)
• Frymaster Gas Fryers (BIG L 30 / BIGLA 430-2RCSD)
• Antunes Toasters (MT 12RD / CTX-200L)
• Wells Pie & Cookie Ovens (M4200)
• Moffat Holding Cabinets (HP10T)
• Qing Oven Microwaves (MC23MPW2 / MC23MPW3)
• Prince Castle Bun Steamers (625 Series)
• Franke Fry Dispensers (F3D3)

Beverage & Cold Systems:

• Cornelius ABS 2.0 Soda Systems
• Manitowoc Ice Machines (IBT1020C-161)
• Taylor Soft Serve Machines (C602)
• Franke McCafe Machines (FM850 / SB1200)
• Multiplex Frappe / Blended Ice Machines
• BUNN Coffee Brewers (Axiom RFID / ITCB)
• Cornelius Slushie Machines (Viper E3)
• OJ & Creamer Dispensers

Requirements

Required:

• Foundational knowledge of electrical systems — wiring, circuits, basic diagnostics
• HVAC or mechanical maintenance experience (vocational training, trade school, or on-the-job)
• Ability to work across both Whittier-area locations as needed
• Valid California driver's license and reliable transportation
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in a commercial kitchen environment
• Strong attention to detail and pride in quality, consistent work
• Motivated self-starter with a genuine interest in growing within the role

Strongly Preferred:

• Bilingual — English and Spanish (spoken and written)
• Prior experience in a food service or commercial kitchen environment
• EPA 608 certification, or willingness to obtain it (exam reimbursed by RPL)
• Comfort with basic digital tools for logging and documentation
• Experience with commercial refrigeration or beverage systems
• Background in a trade apprenticeship or vocational program

Compensation

Pay is structured to grow with your skills, certifications, and scope of responsibility. We conduct a formal performance review at 6 months — not just annually — so high performers see real movement quickly.

• Starting Rate: $22–$26/hr — At hire, based on experience
• 6-Month Review: +$1–$2/hr — Triggered by demonstrated PM ownership and reliability
• Year 1 + EPA 608 Certification: $27–$29/hr — Cert obtained, both locations running smoothly
• Senior Technician: $29–$32/hr — Full PM ownership, training others
• Facilities Manager: $55,000–$70,000/yr — Multi-location scope, possible direct reports

Note: The Facilities Manager role is an internal promotion target as RPL continues to grow. This position is the direct on-ramp to that role.

What We Offer

• Company-paid equipment training — supplier-led, hands-on training for every major system in our kitchens
• EPA 608 exam reimbursement upon passing
• Clear path to Facilities Manager as RPL scales to additional locations
• 6-month performance reviews with milestone-based pay increases
• People-first culture — we invest in the people who invest in us
• Stability and the resources of the world's largest restaurant brand behind you

Career Path

RPL is actively scaling. As we open additional McDonald's locations, a dedicated Facilities Manager role will be filled from within.

• Year 1: Learn both locations, complete supplier training, build PM systems
• Year 2: Own all PM schedules, lead vendor relationships, begin onboarding others
• Year 2–3: Facilities Manager — lead facilities across an expanding RPL portfolio

Bilingual candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Los Angeles, CA area preferred.
