VP, Business Transformation & Lean Systems

Are you ready to lead with purpose, drive meaningful change, and shape the future of a company built on humility, craftsmanship, and innovation?  At Fieldpiece, we’re not just delivering tools—we’re empowering HVACR professionals to excel every day.  We’re seeking a Vice President, Business Transformation & Lean Systems to champion our proprietary lean operating system, the Fieldpiece Way, and guide our team through a culture of continuous improvement.

This isn’t a role for figureheads or sideline leaders. We’re looking for someone who’s as comfortable in the boardroom setting strategic direction as they are on the frontlines facilitating a Kaizen event. If you thrive in an environment where challenges are embraced, ambiguity fuels innovation, and relationships are built on trust and transparency—this is your opportunity.

Ideally, this position is located in our temporary office near Park City, UT (move to Heber City in 2027), but could also be located in Orange, CA.  Travel will be required between the locations at least once/month.

Fieldpiece isn’t just a company – it’s a thriving team of innovators, committed to pushing boundaries and celebrating curiosity. Since 1990, we’ve been providing HVACR professionals with rugged, feature-rich tools like meters, manifolds, leak detectors, and more.  Fieldpiece leads the industry in the way we think, how we work, how we treat our people, and how we remain laser-focused on creating products that empower HVACR professionals.  If you thrive in an environment where challenges are embraced, ambiguity fuels innovation, and relationships are built on trust and transparency—this is your opportunity.

As one of the Best Places to Work in SoCal (2023 & 2024), we’re proud of our collaborative culture and Hire to Retire philosophy.  We offer a hybrid (3 days onsite), flexible work schedule in our Orange, CA office with a kitchen full of snacks to keep you charged throughout the day and an onsite music room with complimentary lessons.  

What You’ll Do:

• Champion Continuous Improvement: Advocate for and implement lean methodologies, systems, and tools across all functions to drive a culture of sustainable improvement.
• Lead the Fieldpiece Way: Own and evolve our proprietary lean operating system, ensuring it remains a cornerstone of how we work and grow.
