Hilti stands for quality, innovation, and direct customer relationships resulting in about 250,000 individual customer contacts each day. Based in Schaan, Liechtenstein, the company has 30,000 employees around the world who contribute to making construction work simpler, faster and safer while inspiring customers every single day with technologically leading products, systems, software, and services.

We understand that the working environment is rapidly changing, with many of us now trying to balance commitments at home and work.
We expect a lot from our Hilti team members and set challenging targets for everyone at the company. But at the same time, we believe in a caring culture, where people can be supported and do well.

We have also opened our daycare center for team members’ children at our Headquarters in Schaan, Liechtenstein.
