This role is accountable for fleet P&L, equipment billing recovery, rental spend governance, safety and compliance, vendor and procurement relationships, and the team that keeps crews equipped and productive in the field. The VP represents Fleet Operations in PAR's executive leadership forums and partners closely with Finance, Operations, Safety, and Human Resources to align the fleet organization with company-wide financial and strategic goals.

• Own the P&L for PAR's equipment fleet, including capital planning, utilization, and disposition decisions across all operating divisions.
• Lead the annual business plan (ABP) forecast and budget presentation for fleet and equipment spend to executive leadership.
• Drive equipment billing recovery by closing the gap between bid-hour assumptions and actual field equipment hours, targeting multiple millions of dollars in annual recovered margin.
• Own PAR's monthly rental recovery plan, tracking progress against enterprise cost-reduction targets.
Rental & Asset Governance

Work Order & Systems Management
• Oversee enterprise work order performance (E360) across divisions, driving down aged and red-tag work orders and improving average days-to-close.
• Champion adoption of fleet data and tracking systems (e.g., HCSS) to improve visibility into hours, utilization, and cost recovery.
• Evaluate and pilot new fleet technology and safety devices (e.g., hitch-monitoring safety systems) ahead of broader rollout.
Leadership & Talent
• Manage the Director of Fleet Operations and regional fleet leaders; build organizational depth and bench strength across the fleet function.
• Lead succession planning and high-potential talent development for the fleet organization.
• Own fleet workforce/manpower forecasting in partnership with regional leadership and HR.
