This vacancy is part of Hilti’s Global Trainee Program. Interested in joining the program? Please submit your application directly via Hilti Careerpage Construction technology is being reinvented. Be part of it. Construction is one of the world's largest industries, and one of its least digitized. That is changing fast. At Hilti, we are not only developing software products - we are building and growing digital businesses around them. Hilti is at the centre of that shift, with a growing portfolio of software products that connect jobsites, offices, teams, and tools across the entire construction lifecycle. We are looking for ambitious, internationally mobile early-career talents with a global mindset who are excited about technology but see their future in business and leadership rather than in a purely technical software career. The Software & Digital Business Track of Hilti's Outperformer Program is a two-year accelerated development program that prepares you for a commercial, international leadership career in our software and digital businesses. You will learn how technology becomes customer value, how software businesses grow, how products are brought to market, and how commercial decisions are made. This is not a rotation program where you shadow senior leaders. From day one, you carry real responsibility.
