With an environmental or technical background , you will help us to achieve our CO2-reduction goals, support us in our Circularity initiatives, gather information for certifications, work on energy-efficiency initiatives or the improvement of our buildings.
Following your studies in marketing & communication or business administration , you will support the team with sustainability or circularity initiatives focused on our offering for customers or work on regulations. Other internship areas could be within communication, tool donation and our corporate volunteering program “Engaged Beyond Business.”

You will work in a highly motivated team and will be in charge of your own projects. This includes independent alignments with stakeholders within the organization, structuring and processing contents as well as bringing forth and implementing improvement processes. You’ll work closely with our experts to develop our way to drive sustainability at Hilti.
Clara, Intern Corporate Sustainability: “Right at the beginning of my internship, I was warmly welcomed by the team and was directly assigned my own project. I was not only able to work independently on a task but at the same time I had the opportunity to contribute to team projects. This approach allowed me to sharpen my project-management, communication, and critical-thinking skills from the beginning on. Through the regular exchange in the team, I broadened my understanding of sustainability and acquired valuable insights for navigating a dynamic work environment.”
