What does the role involve?
Hilti Outperformer is a two-year graduate program, where you’ll quickly be involved in a range of international projects, with lots of exposure to senior management. It’s fast paced and challenging, but we’ll closely coach and mentor you. The program is split into three main stages of work:
- Dive into the heart of Operations with a 6-12 month role as a Lean Manager or Process Engineer, steering a technical project to new heights at one of our dynamic locations.
- By unleashing your leadership prowess in a 6-12 month term on a regional strategic project, where you'll mastermind shopfloor coordination.
- Embark on a global adventure with a 4-6 month assignment on an international strategic project, breaking free from the confines of your home region and contributing to transformative initiatives on a global scale.
Our focus is on best-in-class products delivered in the most cost-effective, time-efficient and sustainable way. You can contribute to the sustainability cause by helping us reaching our goal of becoming the industry leader in circularity.
