Outperformer Program- Global Leadership Trainee

We’re looking for the next generation of high-performing, multi-lingual, post graduate talent 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?**:
If you’re new to the industry, you might not have heard of us. We provide leading-edge tools, technologies, software and services for the global construction sector. We have a proud heritage, built over 75 years, and a worldwide reputation for pioneering products and exceptional service. With some 28,000 people in more than 120 countries, we’re a great place for you to show us your worth as you learn, grow and carve-out your career.

**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:

- 12 months as an account manager or field engineer in the country where you apply.
- 2 months local accounting in the country where you apply
- 4 months on a project in the regional headquarters (Singapore)
- 6 months on a strategic project outside the region South Asia Pacific

After the 2 year programme, Outperformer Trainee will be assigned to work in one of the countries out of Malaysia to gain few years working experience.

**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. You’ll also take part in some 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.

**Why should you apply?**:
Ours is a high-performing culture for very driven people. If you’ve never worked in sales or construction, that’s not a problem. Success at Hilti is down to teamwork and ability, no matter what your background.

**What you need is**:
We’d love to hear from you if:

- You’ve spent at least three months, and up to two years, in a professional environment, like an internship, apprenticeship or work experience, or have just started your career and want an opportunity where you can perform well and progress.
- You’re multilingual - fluent in English plus another language or two - and you’ve gained international experience during your work or studies.
- 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, keen for intercultural experiences and opportunities working abroad.

As part of your interview process, we’ll take you on a day-in-the-life ‘field ride’ to give you a feel for our business and the caliber of our people.

“I don’t have a sales background and, when I went to my careers fair, most companies only wanted to speak to you if you had the right experience. Hilti were completely open-minded. They were more interested in me than in which degree I was doing.”
- Andreas, Project Manager, Global Logistics
