Show us what you’re made of and we’ll offer you opportunities to move around the business – to work abroad, experience different job functions and tackle different markets. It’s a great way to find the right match for your ambitions and achieve the exciting career you’re after.
We have a very thorough people review process, unlike any we know of in any other business. We screen everyone in the company in a yearly career performance matching process. It means we can pair talent with opportunities - developing our people in their current roles or challenging them to work in new ways or in new places.

Hilti is looking for a proactive team player who has the ability to accurately work in a fast changing environment in a challenging market. You are a keen listener and quick on your feet with follow up questions. Also, positive attitude and motivation to learn, develop and grow within the organization locally, as well as internationally, is important. Next to the above you have:
- Recently graduated from university, or you have at least 2 years of experience in credit review, accounting, accounts receivables, internal / external audit or controlling;
- Preferably a Master degree in Finance, Accounting or Risk management;
- Excellent communication skills in Dutch, French and English;
- Effective problem solving experiences with understanding of financial statements, credit risk analysis, credit practices and procedures;
- Extensive MS Office knowledge and SAP/BI knowledge is an advantage
- A keen interest in recent trends related to credit risk assessment;
- The ambition to move internationally is a plus.
Who should apply?
We have an excellent mix of people and some of our best account managers joined us with no experience of the construction industry. 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.
