What You Need Is

• If you haven't worked in this type of role before, we'd prefer you to have a strong technical background where you are used to using tools and comfortable being hands-on with products

Who should apply?

We don't expect you to be a construction expert...but you will be once you've graduated from our award-winning training course.

Ideally, candidates will have retail experience at a Team Lead, Assistant Manager level OR sales focused customer service experience.

We have a diverse and inclusive workforce and offer a high performance yet caring culture. We will give you all of the training and development opportunities that you need to help grow your career with a market leader. All we need from you is a great attitude and a customer centric approach to everything you do.

Please DO NOT apply for multiple roles - the team will assign you where your skills are the best fit.

Click through the 'Apply Now' button where you will be asked to upload your CV and answer a couple of short questions – the whole process should take around 90 seconds.

Once you're in the formal process, there are three stages – a screening call with our Talent Acquisition Business Partner, a first interview with a Regional Manager, and a final interview with a Sales Director.

Hilti is where your best belongs. We are an equal opportunity employer and value the contributions of all our team members regardless of sex, gender identity/expression, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion or family status.
