What's the role?
At Hilti Ireland, we’re growing fast—and we’re proud of it! From celebrating internal promotions to launching cutting-edge innovations, we’ve also been ranked #12 on the World’s Best Workplaces list in 2023. Now, we’re looking for a Sales Account Manager to join our Building & Construction (BC) team, covering the Dublin region.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive, inclusive, and high-performing team where your ideas and contributions truly matter.
As an Account Manager, you’ll be the trusted partner to our customers—visiting them on-site / in offices, to understand their needs and offer tailored solutions using Hilti’s innovative tools, software (like ON!Track, Fieldwire, VanGateway), and services.
You’ll manage your own territory with autonomy, building long-term relationships and helping customers work more efficiently and safely. Whether you’re consulting on a construction site or collaborating with a managing director, your focus will be on problem-solving, relationship-building, and delivering value.
The role is all about nurturing and fostering relationships, developing contacts on site with customers and helping them find the most innovative and cost-efficient solutions for their needs. You’ll be part of a supportive, field-based regional team who are only a phone call away.
We don’t expect you to be a construction expert. For us, it’s about the right person; the right person is passionate, curious, dedicated and collaborative – our training will cover the rest!
