Project Manager

QP Group
Olathe, KS

QP Group are currently partnering with a well-established and growing organisation in the water / wastewater infrastructure space to appoint a Project Manager.


This is a business-critical, multi-faceted role supporting the delivery of engineered equipment and system solutions across municipal and commercial projects. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys being at the center of operations - balancing technical coordination, customer interaction, and commercial responsibility.


The Opportunity:

You’ll take ownership of projects from initial enquiry through to delivery, acting as the key liaison between customers, suppliers, and internal teams.

This is not a purely administrative role - you’ll be expected to think commercially, solve problems, and keep projects moving.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously from RFQ through to completion
  • Prepare and manage quotes, proposals, and technical submittals
  • Interpret project specifications, drawings, and customer requirements
  • Coordinate with manufacturers and suppliers on lead times, pricing, and product selection
  • Support the outside sales team with project tracking and follow-ups
  • Oversee order entry, purchasing, scheduling, and logistics coordination
  • Act as a point of contact for contractors, engineers, and municipal clients
  • Troubleshoot issues and ensure timely resolution throughout the project lifecycle
  • Maintain accurate records within CRM/ERP systems


What We’re Looking For:

  • 3–10 years’ experience in inside sales, project coordination, or project management within a technical or construction-related industry
  • Background in water/wastewater, pumps, mechanical systems, utilities, or industrial equipment highly preferred
  • Experience working with contractors, engineers, or public sector clients is a strong advantage
  • Ability to read or interpret technical specifications or drawings
  • Strong commercial awareness (pricing, margins, customer management)
  • Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects
  • Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
  • Strong communication skills (both written and verbal)


Ideal Backgrounds May Include:

  • Pump / fluid handling distributors or manufacturers’ reps
  • Mechanical or industrial equipment suppliers
  • Utility or infrastructure contractors
  • HVAC, plumbing, or electrical distributors
  • Technical inside sales or applications engineering roles
