WHAT DOES THE ROLE INVOLVE?

Hilti Engineering Leadership Development Program is two-year program, where you’ll step out from narrow expert career and will be involved in exciting projects, with lots of exposure to senior management


The program is split into three main stages of work:

  • 12 months exploring the Hilti core business in B2B direct sales role of Account Manager or Field Engineer in Czech Republic
  • 6 months on a Regional Marketing Project at your local or regional headquarters. On this business development project, you will leverage your technical background and sales experience.
  • 6 months on a Global Project our head office in Schaan (Liechtenstein). You will get global insights at one of our business units heading development and management of individual product lines globally.

Once you land in the business after the initial two years your development accelerates – there are opportunities across engineering management, product development and technical marketing, as well as a chance to work abroad if that’s of interest. From there, you will follow your interests to build your career across sales, marketing or engineering, with a defined path to a director role.
