This face to face sales role is an exciting entry point to join an award winning multi-national and to lay the foundations of a highly successful and dynamic career. You will work Monday to Friday only and be responsible for a very consultative sales approach, maximising sales opportunities and being responsible for careful stock control. You will work closely with the field-based sales team, our tool repair workshops and our Customer and Credit Services teams in order to provide our customers with outstanding service and deliver great results.
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

- Individual customer service and consultation, including hands-on demonstrations of all the products and services within our range
- Implementing marketing campaigns with support from the marketing and branding teams
- Execution and coordination of all processes, e.g. order entry, incoming goods, acceptance of repairs, inventory and cash management
- Developing existing customer relationships by ensuring you are in regular contact with them by phone

- Unusually within retail, the store is only open Monday to Friday , allowing you the chance to develop further in your retail career without the need to work weekends.
We give great importance to professional development: 80% of our management positions are filled internally, thus creating a wide range of career opportunities
What do we offer?
Your new role will be rewarding and challenging, and you will be given the support of your leader, your peers and Hilti to ensure you succeed. Within your first 3 months you will have 3 weeks (non-consecutive) training from our state-of-the-art hub in Manchester (partially held digitally). This will include training on the Hilti approach, process and product training. The training doesn’t stop there! We have huge amounts of training available to continually grow and develop (including modules created in partnership with Ivy League Universities).

- 6% employer pension contributions
- Private Health Insurance and Employee Assistance Programme
- 25 days holidays (not including bank holidays), half day Fridays on Bank Holiday Weekends, Day off on the Month of your birthday, a scheme to purchase 10 additional days
- Paid leave to work on charitable projects
- Hilti Benefits Box, a reward platform offering a cycle to work scheme and shopping and lifestyle discounts/cashback
- Employee resource groups focused on gender, mental health, race, disability, LGBTQ+ and sustainability topics
What you need is:
- Previous retail (Team Lead or Supervisory level) or customer service experience is preferred
- If you haven't worked in this type of role before, we'd prefer you to have a strong technical background where you are used to using tools and comfortable being hands-on with products
- Strong operational and sales skills
- We use a lot of technology to operate our stores so you'll need to be happy using systems such as SAP and Microsoft Office and proficient in using the internet
- Full working rights in Northern Ireland
Who should apply?
We don't expect you to be a construction expert...but you will be once you've graduated from our award-winning training course.
Ideally, candidates will have retail experience at a Team Lead, Assistant Manager level OR sales focused customer service experience.
We have a diverse and inclusive workforce and offer a high performance yet caring culture. We will give you all of the training and development opportunities that you need to help grow your career with a market leader. All we need from you is a great attitude and a customer centric approach to everything you do.
Please DO NOT apply for multiple roles - the team will assign you where your skills are the best fit.
Click through the 'Apply Now' button where you will be asked to upload your CV and answer a couple of short questions – the whole process should take around 90 seconds.
Once you're in the formal process, there are three stages – a screening call with our Talent Acquisition Business Partner, a first interview with a Regional Manager, and a final interview with a Sales Director.
Hilti is where your best belongs. We are an equal opportunity employer and value the contributions of all our team members regardless of sex, gender identity/expression, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion or family status.
