At Fieldpiece, we believe exceptional businesses are built by exceptional people. As we continue to grow across the U.S. and expand our global footprint, we're seeking a Vice President of Human Resources who can elevate our talent, strengthen our culture, and build the organizational capabilities needed for our next stage of growth.

Fieldpiece is a privately held, global leader in professional HVACR tools and test instruments. We're known for developing innovative products that technicians rely on every day - and for investing in our people, our technology, and our future. Named one of the Best Places to Work in Southern California for four consecutive years, we're looking for talented people who want to make an impact while growing their careers.

Reporting to the Chief Strategy and People Officer, this is a highly visible, hands‑on, executive leadership role that understands that developing people is the most sustainable competitive advantage. This is not a role for someone who wants to operate from the sidelines. We’re looking for a strategic and hands‑on leader who can influence at the executive level while being deeply involved in HR activities and staying connected to the people and teams that make Fieldpiece successful.

You’ll lead a small team to accomplish transformational HR initiatives across talent development, organizational design, workforce planning, on/off‑boarding, total rewards, and global HR operations - all while fostering a high‑performance culture rooted in humility, accountability, and growth. You'll have responsibility for three locations in the US (CA, UT, GA) and in most countries in Western Europe and Australia.

This position requires being on‑site every day in our current Orange, CA office with an exciting move to Tustin, CA in 2028. Travel up to 15% is anticipated.
