Business Developer – Nuclear Projects
As a Business Developer at Hilti, you’ll work at the centre of complex, high‑value nuclear projects — becoming the technical partner customers rely on to solve challenges, influence specifications and bring engineered solutions to life. You’ll work closely with engineers, project leaders and key contractors to position Hilti systems effectively, transform design intent and open new opportunities across major nuclear construction environments.
You’ll combine deep technical insight with commercial awareness and a strong field presence — creating impact not just through what you know, but through the value you deliver in every conversation, site visit and design discussion.
What You'll do
* Act as a trusted technical partner on nuclear project sites, working closely with engineers, designers and project management teams to understand complex challenges and propose practical, engineered solutions.
* Strengthen long-term relationships with Owners, EPCs, designers, nuclear contractors and key influencers, ensuring Hilti is embedded throughout design, procurement and installation stages.
* Identify opportunities across the full range of nuclear project contractors — from EPCs and tiered suppliers to specialist installation partners — using your insight to accelerate growth.
* Develop and manage a forward-looking pipeline across multiple nuclear work packages, understanding project phases, milestones and where Hilti can add strategic value.
What You’ll Bring
* Experience working on UK nuclear projects, with a strong understanding of sector specific regulations, standards and requirements — alongside the ability to build effective relationships at every level, from specifiers and designers to site teams, project leadership and asset owners.
* A degree in Civil, Structural or Mechanical Engineering, enabling you to apply engineering insight seamlessly — from interpreting early stage concepts through to detailed, complex design processes, including reading and interpreting drawings across different design phases.
* Commercial awareness, with the ability to link technical value to meaningful customer outcomes and real project improvements.
* Eligibility to obtain the security clearance required for nuclear project access, enabling you to visit sites, spot opportunities, identify areas for improvement and present well considered, engineered solutions
