Global Management Trainee

**What's the role?**:
We’re looking for the next generation of high-performing, multi-lingual, post-graduate talents to take our company forward. Hilti Outperformer is a global management development program like no other, with real responsibility from day one.

**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 there is pride and a sense of belonging across our 120 locations, carrying right into our lives and homes. Where people are exploring possibilities, leveraging their potential, owning their personal development and growing lasting careers.

**What does the role involve?**:
Hilti Outperformer is a two-year program, where you’ll quickly be involved in a range of international projects, with lots of exposure to senior management. It’s fast paced and challenging, but we’ll closely coach and mentor you. The program is split into four main stages of work:

- 3 months on an operational project at national headquarters (Adliswil, Switzerland). It could be logistics, HR, finance, marketing or engineering.
- 6 months on a strategic project at regional headquarters (Kaufering, Germany)
- 3 months on an international project outside the region. If you’ve come from a mature market, you’ll work in an emerging market, and vice versa.

We want your thirst to learn, courage to challenge and desire to improve things, including yourself.

**What do we offer?**:
Show us what you can do and, in return, we promise you the experience of a lifetime, the opportunity to work internationally, and a fast-track career in global senior management with an unlimited contract. During your program, we'll prepare you for a global leadership career through a variety of fascinating courses and events:

- Leadership development program - a comprehensive learning journey with IMD business school in Lausanne, Switzerland, with a qualification from IMD.
- Business management training - individual training at Hilti. A focus on behavioral profiles, personal strengths, leadership styles and communication skills.
- Global summit - 4-5 days
at our global headquarters in Liechtenstein. A look at the way global business units function, plus soft skills like situational leadership and international teamwork.
- Social project - 7-8 days ‘building a better future’. A hands-on and hugely impactful community project, like our recent house building for displaced refugees in Bosnia.
- Personal mentoring throughout the program

**What you need is**:

- You’ve spent at least three months, and up to two years, in a professional environment, like an internship, apprenticeship or work experiences
- You’re multilingual - business fluent in English and German plus one additional language - and you’ve gained international experience during your work or studies abroad (minimum 6 months)
- You’re mature and assertive, curious and committed. You’re a flexible team player with good communication and social skills. You’re a global thinker, interested in general management topics, keen for intercultural experiences and opportunities working abroad
- You hold a valid drivers licence (category B) and are eligible to a work visa for Switzerland

**Who should apply?**:
Success at Hilti is down to teamwork and ability, no matter what your background is. If you’ve never worked in sales or construction, that’s not a problem.

The interview process includes several steps such as interviews and participation to a Business Case. You will also get the chance to exchange with former trainees or spend a day on the field.

Once you have successfully passed the interviews, we’ll nominate you for the regional **Assessment Center **, which will take part on **November 14-15 in Kaufering/Germany **.
