Hilti Graduate Program - Sales & Engineering Track

What's the role

Have you recently (or almost) gained your Engineering degree? Are you already in the workplace but want a more challenging and rewarding role? Perhaps you’re looking for international opportunities? Exposure to senior management? Top caliber colleagues? We want to hear from dynamic young potentials with the energy and ability to join our high-performing team.

Who is Hilti?

Hilti is where innovation is improving productivity, safety and sustainability in the global construction industry, and beyond. Where strong customer relationships are creating solutions that build a better future. Where there is pride and a sense of belonging across our 120 locations, carrying right into our lives and homes. Where people are exploring possibilities, leveraging their potential, owning their personal development and growing lasting careers.

What does the role involve?

It’s a 2-year program in which we invest deeply in your professional and personal development. You start with a one-month training program with comprehensive in-house courses, training days and learning on the job with colleagues. The program itself will last for a minimum of 2 years, with the aim at the end to grow into the role of a Field Engineer.

What does the program look like?

12 months (minimum) : In your first year, you will start as an  Account Manager  and get hands-on experience and a deep insight into the core of our business, our customers, products, services and software. In this rotation you will gain soft skills that you will be able to leverage during your whole career at Hilti. Your sales territory (specific region) will be in either  Belgium or Luxembourg depending on where you live.

12 months (minimum) : For your second rotation, you will join our in-house Engineering department in Anderlecht  (= Engineering Competence Center) to focus on supporting clients with anchor calculations (phase 1) and additional installation & firestop calculations (phase 2). You will develop the technical skills needed to advise our customers and have a solid technical base to further grow your engineering career.
Besides the technical support, you will be able to work on strategic Digital Marketing projects linked to engineering (steering online webinars for example) to further develop your business and soft skills.

In the final  3 months of the program, you will transition towards your landing position as Field Engineer by taking up a Junior Project/Field Engineering responsibility  at 40% of your time for a specific project or a specific group of customers (including specifiers). This will allow you to put in practice all of the skills you developed during the program and prepare you for your next career step.

Landing position (minimum 2-3 years) : after completing the program, your landing position will be as a Field Engineer (based in Belgium or in Luxembourg) where you will combine both field-based work (customer visits, sales presentations, demos) with technical calculations and expertise. You will work closely with our Sales teams to grow our customer base for our engineering solutions (products, software, etc.).

In 2024, Hilti was ranked as a  Best Workplace  in Belgium (9th position), in Europe (3rd position) and worldwide (5th position) & we are really proud of that!

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.
