What's the role
We are looking for a proactive, customer-oriented engineer who is eager to develop their career in a stimulating, innovative, and international environment.
Who is Hilti?
At Hilti, we are a passionate global team committed to making construction better. As a trusted partner for productivity, safety, and sustainability, we provide our customers innovative solutions that impact the buildings, roads, and infrastructure people rely on every day.
Hilti is where individuals grow lasting careers by exploring possibilities, maximizing their potential, owning their development, and making a real difference every day.
What does the role involve?
As a Sales Engineer, you will be the technical expert for Hilti’s solutions. You will identify opportunities, provide advice (engineering consultancies, architects, project owners), and guide technical decisions toward our products (anchoring, support systems, fire protection, façades, etc.).
You will work closely with the sales teams to turn specifications into actual sales. You will oversee large-scale projects from start to finish—from design offices to on-site implementation—in sectors such as data centers, pharmaceuticals, and energy.
This role is a great opportunity to grow both the business and your career within an international group.
80% of our manager positions are filled by internal candidates, which offers real potential for advancement beyond your starting point.
What do we offer?
Show us what you’re made of and we’ll offer you opportunities to move around the business – to work abroad, experience different job functions and tackle different markets. It’s a great way to find the right match for your ambitions and achieve the exciting career you’re after.
We have a very thorough people review process, unlike any we know of in any other business. We screen everyone in the company in a yearly career performance matching process. It means we can pair talent with opportunities - developing our people in their current roles or challenging them to work in new ways or in new places. It’s how we find the right fit and further our teams personally and professionally.
What you need is:
- Engineering degree in civil engineering, ideally with two years of experience
- Initial experience in engineering or the construction sector is a plus
- Practical mindset, strong analytical skills, and problem-solving ability
- Excellent interpersonal skills, customer service mindset, and responsiveness
- Self-motivated, curious, and eager to learn
- Fluent in Dutch or French; international experience is a plus
Who should apply?
We have an excellent mix of people and some of our best account managers joined us with no experience of the construction industry. So, if you’ve never worked in sales or construction, that’s fine with us. Success at Hilti is down to teamwork and ability, no matter what your background.
