Global Management Development Program (Logistics / Supply Chain)

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 rotational program like no other, with real responsibility from day one.

Who is Hilti?

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 23,000 people in more than 120 countries (3,000 here in North America), 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 rotational program, where you’ll quickly be involved in a range of 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 several stages of work:

·                     3 months kickoff and training

·                     17 months of diverse experience across national and global logistics and supply chain management (e.g.,  

              materials management, distribution, Hilti Center, Customer Service and leading a team)

·                     4 months strategic project

What do we offer?

Show us what you can do and, in return, you could have the experience of a lifetime, the opportunity to work internationally, and a fast-track career in global senior management with an unlimited contract. 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 certificate 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.

We’d love to hear from you if:

·         You’ve recently graduated, or you’re preparing to graduate, with a master’s degree or PhD. Your degree is likely to be in supply chain management / logistics.

• 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.
• You’ve gained international experience during work or studies abroad.
• 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 MUST speak a 2nd language AND have some type of international work experience to be considered for the position (example:work study, internships, or part/full time work)
