Hilti GB are proud to rank in the Sunday Times Top 100 employers for over 10 years!

What's the role?
In this role, you will be responsible for the account management and development of our oil and gas and offshore accounts in Aberdeen.

You will have the opportunity to work with a range of owner/operators, EPCs and contractors from the industry whilst at the same time receiving world-class training and development to take your career to the next level. This is no ordinary sales job, as ours is a uniquely high-performing and supportive working culture.

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?
Within the Offshore Division we partner with a range of customers across Oil & Gas, Marine and Offshore Wind Industries bringing them value added solutions to their maintenance and repair operations, new build, decommissioning and manufacturing activities. Hilti supply best-in-class power tools, fixings and fastenings, inserts, firestop, multi-discipline support systems and asset management solutions.

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 site or in the office. 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 - you'll be working with key decision makers to understand their business needs and maximise sales

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 Hilti vehicle 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

Our Head Office is currently based next to Old Trafford but in early 2021 we will move to state of the art new premises at Circle Square in Central Manchester. We will continue to offer free parking for employees and will be located a short walk from Oxford Rd train station and St Peter's Square tram stop.

What you need is:
  • Customer-facing experience gained in any industry (sales experience preferred but not essential)
  • Previous experience in the oil and gas sector with a good understanding of the market
  • Mature, assertive and committed to your career development with good communication skills
  • Self-motivated with a drive to succeed
  • Ability to demonstrate that you're a flexible team player with a hunger to learn
  • Full, clean, manual driving license valid in the UK


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 we like what we see, you'll be invited to complete a short video or telephone 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. We'll also pay your expenses if you have to travel 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.
