Description

What's the role?
Are you a passionate sales person, with a strong drive to outperform?
Are you looking to take your career to the next level, with an award winning employer?

Due to continued growth, we're currently looking for driven and motivated sales professionals to join our field-based Account Management team, covering Chichester/Reading/Luton area.

As an Account Manager, you will have the opportunity to work on some large and prestigious construction projects, whilst at the same time receiving world-class training and development to help you drive your career forward.

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 people are exploring possibilities,leveraging their potential, owning their personal development and growing lasting careers.

We regularly win Great Place to Work awards globally and are very proud to have been placed on the Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For list in the UK by our employees for the past 10 years.

Hilti offers you the best of both worlds - friendly teams locally, combined with exciting roles all over the UK (and beyond if you're interested) and unique opportunities only a company of 30,000 people spread across 120 countries, can bring.

What does the role involve?

As an Account Manager, no two days are the same, but you'll spend most of your time visiting our customers, wherever they're busy working, to find out how we can help them and demonstrating Hilti solutions.

Far from traditional cold calling, it's about nurturing and fostering relationships, developing contacts on site with warm customers and helping them find the most innovative and cost-efficient solutions for their needs.

You'll need to be happy to get your hands dirty but also be able to adapt your approach to the customer in front of you - it could be a senior management team one day and a sole trader the next and you could find yourself on construction sites or in officesand warehouses.

This 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.

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.

We'll teach you everythingyou need to know about our products, the IT systems you'll use on the job and advanced sales skills - you just need to be motivated to learn.

We are proud to have a long-term bonding with our employees: More than 30% of our employees have been part of the Hilti family for over a decade.

What do we offer?
We really value our people and we've worked hard to develop a competitive reward package that reflects this.

Some of the benefits we offer include:

Different ways to work flexibly including working from home and compressed hours so please feel free to talk about what flexibility means to you at your interview
Genuine career advancement (more than 80% of all leadership roles are filled internally)
Competitive salary and aboveaverage performance bonus
6% employer pension contributions
Private Health Insurance and Employee Assistance Programme
33 days' holiday (inc. Bank Holidays) plus the ability to purchase 5 days more annually
Paid leave to work on charitable projects
Hilti Benefits Box, a reward platform offering shopping and lifestyle discounts/cashback
Company branded van or vehicle
Fuel card

What you need is:

Customerfacing/sales experience gained in any industry
Mature, assertive attitude and committed to your career development with good communication skills
Ability to demonstrate that you're a flexible team player with a hunger to learn
Resilience and adaptability to environments such construction sites and also residential site developments
Experience of Salesforce is desirable but not essential
A full, clean, manual driving license

Who should apply?

We have an excellent mix of people and some of our best Account Managers joined us with no construction experience.

Success at Hilti is down to teamwork and ability, no matter what your background.

If you meet the requirements of the role you'll be invited to complete a fun online assessment and a short pre-recorded video interview - please keep an eye on your junk mail in case this is diverted there

If we don't have a vacancy in your location at the moment, we will keep you in our talent pool for the future.

If we do, we'll invite you to the selection process - a first interview with a Regional Manager, a day-in-the-life 'field ride' to give you a real feel for the job and a final interview with a Sales Director.

We'll also pay your expenses if you have to travelto meet us.
