Who is Hilti?

For the sixth time in the past 11 years, Hilti has been named one of the best employers by Great Place to Work.

What began as a family business in 1941, founded by brothers Eugene and Martin Hilti, has become a leading industry player with over 120 locations worldwide and a workforce of more than 33,000 colleagues. Our incredible journey, from humble beginnings to a global powerhouse, is a shining example of the rewards of a hard-working and dedicated team.

At Hilti, we provide leading-edge tools, technologies, software, and services for the global construction industry and beyond. Our purpose is making construction better based on a passionate and inclusive global team and a caring and performance-oriented culture.

What does the role involve?

You will support our tribology team in evaluating sustainable lubricants for Hilti power tools. A profound theoretical breakdown of state of the art solutions will provide you a solid basis for your friction and wear tests in a modern equipped lab. You are in charge of performing tribological tests, analyzing and interpreting of the acquired data and making suggestions on alternative approaches or improvements. Depending on the progress of your work you will be able to conduct tool tests in our fully instrumented drilling or sawing test rigs. Your results must be documented in form of technical reports. You will have the opportunity to present your findings in our project team meetings.

What do we offer?

Joining more than 2100 colleagues from over 70 nationalities at one of our headquarters locations in Schaan, Nendeln, or Buchs is more than a career move. It’s your opportunity to enjoy the energizing, alpine lifestyle - where Liechtenstein, Austria, and Switzerland seamlessly meet.

Share your interests and become a part of one of our employee groups leading change locally, for example, supporting female empowerment or the LGBTQ+ community or joining a leisure group for a Wednesday mountain bike ride or tennis match. If you are passionate about giving back to the community, we have various opportunities to volunteer through our engaged beyond business program locally and internationally.

Additional benefits of our headquarters location include shared e-bikes for your commute, an on-site gym, three restaurants, language courses, learning and development training opportunities, tax insurance, financial guidance, child care, relocation and spousal support, and more.

• Enrollment in a Bachelor's/Master's program in mechanical engineering, material science, or similar for the entire internship period
• You have a strong affinity to tribology
• First lab experience is a must
• You have the ability to work self-reliantly and systematically
• You enjoy hands on work

Why should you apply?

Do you want to join an interdisciplinary, multinational team? Are you passionate about dealing with technology? So, if you have no knowledge about specialty lubricants, that’s fine with us. We’re more interested in your ability, commitment and drive to succeed.

Hilti is an equal opportunity employer.

We take our time to get to know you. As part of your recruitment process, you’ll get to talk to your internship coach as well as your HR Manager who both can answer some of your burning questions.
