Hilti GB are proud to rank in the Sunday Times Top 100 employers for over 10 consecutive years!
What's the role?
We're looking for a driven and motivated sales professional to join us as an Account Manager working with our customer base in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, including Swindon, Chippenham, Cheltenham and Gloucester.
But this is no ordinary sales job, as ours is a uniquely high-performing and supportive working culture.
You will have the opportunity to work on some of the UK's biggest construction projects whilst at the same time receiving world-class training and development to take your career to the next level.
Who is Hilti?
Unless you work in construction, you probably haven't heard of us. We're a hidden gem.
We provide leading-edge tools, technologies, software and services for the professional construction sector. Our customers are loyal and enthusiastic about us. So are our people.
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 the best of both worlds - friendly teams locally and roles across the UK combined with the opportunities only a company of 30,000 people spread across 120 countries can bring.
What does the role involve?
You will be an Account Manager who will be part of our Interior Finishing trade. 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. You could find yourself on construction sites or in offices and warehouses. You 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.
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. Far from traditional cold calling, it's about nurturing relationships and developing contacts on site with warm customers and helping them find the most innovative and cost-efficient solutions for their needs.
You'll be managing your own time - your van 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.
We'll teach you everything you 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.
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 above-average 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
*Company branded van or vehicle
*Fuel card
What you need is:
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.
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.
If you need any support with your application please contact .
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. .
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.
