Channel Sales Graduate Programme

What's the role? Are you looking for a graduate programme, with an award-winning employer, that will challenge you to reach your full potential?

We're looking for high-performing graduates to drive our business forward and become future leaders within our Channel Sales Division.

Show us that you have what we're looking for, and in return we'll provide you with world-class training to support you in taking your career to the next level with a Great Place to Work certified employer. What does the role involve? Your first role of the programme will be the role of a Customer Service Representative. In this role you will process calls from internal and external customers in an efficient and professional manner; you'll be dealing with our existing corporate customers to help them with orders, as well as proactively contacting customers, using a suggestive selling approach, to offer solutions to their problems and in order to meet their business needs.
This initial landing role in customer services will arm you with the knowledge of our customers, our extensive product range and the services we offer, as well as getting to know the organisation and our ways of working - it's a great platform on which to build your career at Hilti.

Channel Sales encompasses our Customer Service department, our internal sales team, as well as our retail network of 8 Hilti Stores across the UK, and next steps in this programme could be varied within these areas, for example Customer Services: Assistant Team Leader / Trainer; Internal Sales: Account Manager / Team Leader or Hilti Store Regional Support / Team Leader. What you need is:

• 2024 or 2025 graduate in any discipline
• Potential and desire to transition to a team leader role
• Some work experience in a customer-facing role preferred
• Adaptability, with the ability to learn technical information quickly
• Excellent communication skills

Please note that due to the UK Home Office salary thresholds we are unable to offer skilled visa sponsorship for any of our customer services position.
Who should apply? We have an excellent mix of people and some of our best account managers joined us with no experience. So, if you've never worked in sales or construction, that's fine with us. Success at Hilti is down to teamwork and ability, no matter what your background. What do we offer? We really value our people, and we've worked hard to develop a reward package that reflects this. Some of our benefits include:

• Private Health Insurance and Employee Assistance Programme
• 33 days' holiday (inc. Bank Holidays) plus the ability to purchase 5 days more annually
• Hilti Benefits Box, a reward platform offering shopping and lifestyle discounts/cashback and a cycle to work scheme
• 6% employer pension contributions
• 33 days' holiday (inc. Bank Holidays) plus the ability to purchase 5 days more annually
• Paid leave to work on charitable projects
• Different ways to work flexibly, including working from home and compressed hours
• Employee resource groups focused on gender, mental health, race, disability, LGBTQ+ and sustainability topics
• Genuine career advancement (more than 80% of all leadership roles are filled internally)
• Trips to locations such as Milan, New York and global HQ for high performers across all teams
