- · Company car or van, fuel card and company pension

More than another sales position
O’Neil Gas is looking for an ambitious and commercially driven Boiler Sales & Development Manager
to take ownership of our domestic boiler sales process and help develop one of the fastest-growing areas of our business.
We are particularly interested in speaking to successful salespeople who may already be doing well in their current role, but feel they are ready for a bigger long-term opportunity.
This isn’t simply about selling boilers. We are looking for someone who can help us grow this division, improve how we sell, and potentially build a sales team around them as the business expands.
The immediate opportunity offers a secure £33,500 basic salary with realistic earnings of £50,000+, but the longer-term opportunity could be considerably greater for the right person.
Our aim is for this role to develop into a Senior Sales position, with responsibility for building and leading a larger sales operation.
For an exceptional individual who becomes instrumental in growing this part of the business over the long term, we would also be open to discussing progression beyond Sales Manager into senior leadership, directorship and potentially equity in the business.
Nothing is guaranteed and progression would need to be earned through performance, but we don’t want to put a ceiling on where this opportunity could eventually lead.
A secure basic salary with genuine earning potential
This is not a role based on a low salary and unrealistic commission targets. You will receive a solid basic salary, a bonus for every boiler you sell and access to a large, consistent supply of genuine customer enquiries.
The better you perform, the greater your earning potential becomes.
A commission structure that rewards performance
You will receive a set bonus payment for every boiler sale you complete. As your sales performance increases, you progress through the commission tiers and earn a higher bonus amount for each boiler sold.
This means that strong performance is rewarded in two ways:
· You earn commission on every completed boiler sale.
· As you sell more boilers, your commission payment per sale increases.
. Someone who performs well will have a genuine opportunity to move through the tiers and significantly increase their earnings.
All sales leads are provided
You will not be expected to spend your time cold calling, prospecting or trying to generate your own appointments.
All sales leads are provided by the company.
O’Neil Gas has been established for 31 years and is one of the best-known heating businesses in central and southwest Scotland. Our reputation, existing customer base and investment in professional marketing generate a strong and consistent flow of genuine boiler enquiries.
We have an established professional sales pipeline supported by systems including Bigin and HubSpot, alongside an experienced marketing team actively generating new opportunities.
We want our salesperson focused on selling, not spending their time trying to find people to sell to.
Join an established business that is investing in growth
O’Neil Gas is a family-owned company that has been trading successfully for 31 years.
Today, the business:
· Employs 22 people.
· Generates annual turnover of approximately £2.5 million.
· Carries out around 14,000 customer jobs each year.
· Has an established and respected name throughout Ayrshire and the central belt of Scotland.
· Has a substantial existing customer base.
· Invests heavily in marketing and lead generation.
· Is experiencing particularly strong growth within its domestic boiler installation division.
We combine the friendly and supportive culture of a family business with the stability and resources of an established company.
Importantly, we’re still small enough that the right person can make a significant impact on the business and be directly rewarded for helping us grow it.
An opportunity to build something
You will take ownership of the domestic boiler sales journey, work closely with our experienced operational and engineering teams, and have the opportunity to influence how our sales operation develops.
We’re not looking for someone who simply wants to inherit a sales process and hit a monthly target.
We want someone ambitious who can bring ideas, improve what we already do and help us build a much larger sales operation.
For someone currently working within a manufacturer, merchant, heating company, renewables business or another successful sales environment, this could offer the opportunity for greater responsibility, greater influence and significantly greater long-term career potential.
Who could this opportunity suit?
This role could be an excellent next step for:
· An experienced boiler, heating or plumbing sales professional looking for greater responsibility, earning potential and progression.
· A successful salesperson within a boiler manufacturer, merchant, renewable energy or home-improvement business who wants the opportunity to help build and eventually lead a sales operation.
· An existing Sales Manager who is attracted by the opportunity to help develop a growing division and play a bigger role in the future of the business.
· An experienced gas engineer with strong commercial and customer skills who would like to move away from the tools into a sales career.
· A strong consultative salesperson who can quickly develop the necessary technical and product knowledge.
Previous experience in the gas, heating or boiler sector would be highly advantageous.
However, we don’t expect every candidate to tick every box. If you have a strong sales background, are commercially ambitious and believe you could help us grow this part of the business, we would be interested in speaking with you.
The role
You will manage the complete customer sales journey, from initial enquiry and home appointment through to quotation, follow-up, sale and successful installation.
Your responsibilities will include:
· Responding to company-generated boiler sales enquiries.
· Attending appointments in customers’ homes.
· Understanding each customer’s property, heating requirements and budget.
· Designing and recommending suitable boiler and heating solutions.
· Preparing accurate, professional and competitive quotations.
· Following up enquiries and converting qualified opportunities into sales.
· Managing your sales pipeline and maintaining accurate customer records.
· Working closely with our office, operations and installation teams.
· Identifying opportunities to improve our sales systems, conversion rates and customer journey.
· Helping develop the sales department as boiler installation volumes continue to increase.
We are looking for someone who:
· Has experience in technical, consultative or solution-based sales.
· Can quickly build trust and communicate confidently with homeowners.
· Is commercially driven but always puts the customer’s needs first.
· Has strong quotation, negotiation, follow-up and closing skills.
· Is organised and capable of managing multiple opportunities.
· Takes personal responsibility for sales performance.
· Wants to contribute ideas rather than simply follow an existing process.
· Is ambitious and attracted by the opportunity to build something over the long term.
· Holds a full UK driving licence.
Experience in gas boilers, heating, plumbing, renewables, construction, property services or home improvements would be advantageous.
What we offer
· £33,500 guaranteed basic salary.
· Realistic total earnings of £50,000+.
· Bonus payment for every boiler sold.
· Clear tiered commission structure with higher rewards as performance increases.
· All sales leads and customer appointments provided.
· No requirement to cold call or generate your own leads.
· Company car or van and fuel card.
· Company pension.
· 29 days’ paid holiday with flexible booking.
· Ongoing product, technical and sales training.
· Support from an experienced office, engineering and installation team.
· Freedom to contribute ideas and improve the sales process.
· A secure position within a successful, long-established business.
· Genuine pathway towards becoming our future Sales Manager.
· Longer-term potential for senior leadership, directorship and potentially equity for an exceptional individual who helps drive significant business growth.
Why join O’Neil Gas?
For 31 years, O’Neil Gas has built its reputation through quality workmanship, honest advice and dependable customer service.
Although we have grown into a £2.5 million business employing 22 people, we have retained the personal and supportive culture of a family-run company.
The successful candidate will be joining at an important stage in our development. Our boiler installation division is growing quickly, and this person will have the opportunity to become a central part of that growth.
If you’re already successful where you are, we’re not expecting you to move simply for another sales job.
The attraction of this opportunity is what it could become.
We’re looking for someone who wants to increase their earnings, take greater control of their career and potentially help build and lead an important part of a growing business.
You don’t need to decide whether this is the right move from reading a job advert.
