About Onyx Roofing & Construction
Onyx Roofing & Construction is a rapidly growing, family-owned and operated roofing company specializing in storm damage, roofing, and exterior restoration.
Our parent company, Onyx Construction Group, LLC, was established six years ago, with Onyx Roofing & Construction launching just two years ago. We are growing rapidly, and our goal is ambitious:
Become the #1 roofing company in Tennessee—and eventually across the South.
But we're building the company differently.
We don't believe homeowners need another salesperson. They need a roofing expert they can trust.
When a homeowner has storm damage, they need someone who can get on the roof, identify what is actually wrong, tell them the truth, and recommend the right solution—not someone who will say whatever it takes to get a contract signed.
That's the type of representative we're looking for.
The Opportunity
We are hiring Outside Roofing Sales Representatives in the Mt. Juliet / Nashville market.
This is a performance-driven opportunity for someone who is disciplined, competitive, professional, and capable of managing their own business within our company.
High earnings are the expectation—not just a possibility.
A disciplined, hardworking representative should have the ability to earn $10,000–$30,000 per month based on production and performance.
Your efforts directly influence your income.
This is a 1099 position with a recoverable draw and scaling commission structure based on contract value, giving successful representatives the opportunity to build substantial income as their production increases.
What You'll DoBuild Connections
- Generate and develop leads through networking, referrals, canvassing, and strategic outreach.
- Develop relationships with homeowners, property owners, and referral partners.
- Build a personal pipeline rather than relying solely on company-provided leads.
Inspect & Consult
- Meet with homeowners and assess roofing and exterior conditions.
- Safely inspect roofs when appropriate.
- Identify storm damage and other legitimate roofing issues.
- Clearly explain findings and provide honest recommendations.
- Help homeowners understand their options without high-pressure tactics.
Present Solutions
- Conduct professional roof and exterior presentations.
- Explain the scope of work, materials, process, and value of the proposed solution.
- Communicate confidently and professionally with homeowners.
Negotiate & Close
- Guide qualified homeowners through the decision-making process.
- Negotiate and close contracts professionally.
- Maintain accurate documentation and follow company processes.
Build Long-Term Relationships
- Maintain relationships with past customers.
- Generate referrals and repeat business.
- Identify legitimate opportunities for additional exterior improvements.
- Become the roofing professional your customers call when they need help.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for roofing professionals who know how to sell—not salespeople who happen to sell roofs.
Required:
- 1 year of roofing industry experience
- Comfortable climbing and walking residential roofs
- Valid driver's license
- Clean, professional communication
- Strong work ethic and self-discipline
- Ability to work independently and manage your own schedule

- Existing relationships within the roofing, construction, insurance, or real estate industries
- Proven history of meeting or exceeding sales goals

- Scaling commission structure
- Commission based on contract value
- $10,000–$30,000 monthly earning potential for strong performers
Growth Opportunity
We're building a company designed to scale across Tennessee and eventually throughout the South.
As Onyx grows, so will opportunities for representatives who consistently produce, lead, and demonstrate the ability to take on greater responsibility.
The Onyx Difference
We're not interested in building a company full of people who simply knock doors and push contracts.
We're building roofing professionals.
Our representatives should be able to walk onto a property, evaluate the situation, communicate honestly with the homeowner, explain the solution, and earn the customer's trust.
Know the roof. Tell the truth. Solve the problem.
That's the standard.
This Position Is NOT For Everyone
This is not a traditional 9–5 job.
You will have significant independence, but independence requires self-discipline.
You should be comfortable creating your own opportunities, following up relentlessly, managing your schedule, communicating with customers, climbing roofs, and holding yourself accountable for your results.
If you're looking for a job where someone has to tell you what to do every morning, this probably isn't the position for you.
If you're hungry, disciplined, competitive, and want your income to reflect the amount of value you create, we want to hear from you.
