PumpSmith LLC is a Texas-based field service company in the water industry. We troubleshoot, repair, install, and start up pumps, motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and controls for municipal, commercial, and industrial water systems.

We’re looking for a part-time remote contractor to find manufacturers, manufacturers’ reps, distributors, and wholesalers in the water industry that use outside field service providers in Texas. Your goal is to find out how they bring on service partners and book introductory meetings with people who are open to working with PumpSmith.

What you’ll do

Research target companies and identify field service programs, subcontractor networks, and approved vendor lists that PumpSmith could join.

Find the people who oversee field service or vendor approval. Introduce PumpSmith by phone and email, and follow up.

Book qualified meetings with interested contacts and brief the PumpSmith team on what you learned. We’ll take over from the first meeting and handle technical discussions, applications, quotes, and the ongoing relationship.

Send a short weekly update covering companies contacted, responses, and next steps.

Pay and schedule

$500 monthly retainer plus $75 for each qualified meeting held

Fully remote, with an initial four-week engagement and an expected workload of about five hours per week

A meeting qualifies when a contact who can influence service partner selection or vendor approval meets with PumpSmith to discuss a field service program, vendor onboarding, or a specific field service opportunity in Texas.

What we’re looking for

Experience with B2B prospect research, phone and email outreach, and follow-up. Familiarity with the water industry, pump and drive equipment, or industrial field service is a plus.
