COMPANY BACKGROUND

Since 1990, Fieldpiece has been the trusted name in professional-grade HVACR tools. Our products are rugged, reliable, and built to make jobs easier, faster, and smarter. From meters to manifolds, leak detectors to scales, we deliver tools that professionals rely on.

As hard as we’ve worked to develop new products, we work just as hard to develop our people. Countless members of our team started working in our facility right out of high school and we encouraged their continued growth and development through college degrees in fields from physics to industrial engineering. We’re also focused on keeping our workplace forward-thinking by encouraging our people to read and grow on their own.

Today, after 35 years in the industry, we’ve accomplished many firsts. We also remain the only company dedicated exclusively to this unique market.

Fieldpiece leads 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 – today and tomorrow.

POSITION OVERVIEW

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 General Manager to champion our commercial growth in the EMEA markets.

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 frontline, meeting with distributors and customers. 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.

Fieldpiece Europe was established in 2017, and we have grown continuously from a then start-up to a team of direct employees in 7 European countries today. We are looking for a new General Manager to lead the transformation from a start-up to a more mature organization.

This role provides the General Manager the opportunity to join a market leader in the US segment and lead plans to replicate the business model across Europe, whilst respecting and minding its unique culture differences and specific dynamics. The position will see you responsible for defining the commercial strategy, the deployment of its operational execution and the setup of the necessary infrastructure to achieve expected results and ensure successful outcomes.
