Engineering Leadership Development Program

Development made real
We're seeking passionate and ambitious civil, structural, or mechanical engineers to join our Hilti Engineering Leadership Development Program — a unique, fast-track management journey. You'll gain international exposure, take on real responsibilities from day one, and develop the skills to become a future leader within Hilti's global organization.

What You'll Do
The Hilti Engineering Leadership Development Program is a two-year journey designed to broaden your expertise beyond a single discipline and immerse you in exciting, cross-functional projects — all with significant exposure to senior management. You'll work on major construction initiatives while receiving world-class training and personalized coaching to prepare you for a leadership role within Hilti.

The program unfolds in three key stages:

• 12 months exploring Hilti's core business through a B2B direct sales role as an Account Manager or Field Engineer.
• 6 months leading a Regional Marketing Project at our regional headquarters in Prague, Czechia, where you'll apply your technical knowledge to business development.
• 6 months on a Global Project at our head office in Schaan, Liechtenstein, where you'll gain international insights by managing or developing product lines on a global scale.

After completing the program, you'll be well-positioned for an accelerated career in engineering management, product development, or technical marketing.

What You'll Bring
At Hilti, you'll join a community that values innovation, integrity, and performance. This program is designed for engineers who want to make a real impact on how the world builds. You'll collaborate with inspiring leaders across continents, work with the latest technologies, and grow through mentorship and continuous learning.

We're looking for people who are curious, bold, and eager to lead — those ready to challenge themselves, learn constantly, and shape the future of the construction industry. If you're driven by results and motivated to make a difference, this program is your launchpad to an international leadership career.
