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 welcomed 1000 additional team members last year and have more than 30,000 employees worldwide.

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

Some of our benefits include:

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 a cycle to work scheme and shopping and lifestyle discounts/cashback

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 experience. So, if you've never worked in sales or construction, that's fine with us. 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 look out for this in your junk mail as it can end up there

Once you're in the formal process, there are three stages - 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 totravel to meet us.

If we don't have a suitable role for you at the moment, we will keep you in our talent pool for the future so your recruitment process might take a bit longer but we'll be sure to stay in touch.
