What's the role?
We are looking for a FireStop Account Manager to join our technical sales team in Ireland. You will work within our specialist team, selling to and developing customers on relevant Hilti products.
Our Specialist division work on major business areas relating to customers involving Government and Firestop, Building Envelope (Façade) and Diamond across Ireland. But this is no ordinary sales job, as ours is a uniquely high-performing and supportive working culture.
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?
Ours is a model of professional consultative selling, and it’s a really hands-on job. It means rolling up your sleeves to demonstrate some of the most pioneering products in the industry, along with all the services and after-care that come with the Hilti name.

On a day-to-day basis, you can expect to:
- Go out into the field to see our customers, ask them open questions to understand their needs and provide a tailor-made solution

- Further develop ‘focus’ customers by building relationships, as well as uncovering new business leads
- Be responsible for the operational, organisational and strategic management of your sales area, fully utilizing the top-in-class CRM system, Salesforce
You’ll be managing your own time – your vehicle is your office and you’ll be responsible for setting your own diary to ensure you’re visiting your customers when they need you so you need to be a self-starter who is comfortable working autonomously. You’ll be part of a supportive, field-based regional team who are only a phone call away but you’ll be working by yourself on the whole, so you need to be comfortable with building relationships remotely and motivating yourself.
