Lead a high performing shop team and grow into your next big career step
What's the role
We’re hiring a Tool Service Center Team Leader in a pivotal leadership position, to lead one of our Tool Service Center (TSC) shop teams, at one of Hilti’s state-of-the-art regional operations centers. You will be reporting directly to the Tool Service Center Manager and be a key member of the Management Team. In this role, you will hold responsibility for operational excellence and leadership on the production floor. Our TSC’s promise is simple: Be the best productivity partner for our customers by delivering the best value proposition, and differentiated service level with impeccable quality and short lead-time.
While experience in the production and process-oriented environment is an advantage, what truly matters is your ability to plan effectively, lead and inspire people, and deliver results through smart, efficient processes
What you’ll do
Lead daily operations: Oversee end-to-end shop performance by planning resources, scheduling work, allocating tasks, and ensuring a smooth flow – from tool intake and analyzing through repair, quality assurance, and on-time dispatch
Develop and empower your team: Provide hands-on coaching and leadership to team-members, technicians and operators, translating strategy into daily execution. Build capabilities where they matter most and foster a culture rooted in safety, accountability and continuous improvements
Drive performance and operational excellence: Monitor and improve key performance metrics – including quality, turnaround time, efficiency, and first-time-right; while closing each day with a clear plan to deliver on tomorrow’s commitments
Collaborate across the supply chain: Work proactively with sales, marketing, logistics, suppliers and customer service to ensure readiness, alignment and seamless flow and operations
Make impactful decisions: Act with confidence in a fast-paced global environment, handling both operational and strategic decisions – effectively operating as the leader of your shop
Ensure compliance and safety excellence: Maintain a safe and compliant work environment by securing correct hazardous-goods labeling, proper handling procedures and full readiness of parts, materials and tooling to support uninterrupted operations
What you’ll bring
Engineering foundation: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (or equivalent), complemented by 1–3 years of relevant professional experience
Emerging leadership: While formal people-lead experience is an advantage, you have successfully led projects and/or informal teams. You know how to motivate others, create structure and uphold high standards
Operational excellence: Knowledge of Lean production, Kaizen, Six Sigma, 5S, PowerBI etc. Strong skills in resource planning, prioritization and problem-solving. You are calm under pressure, resilient and able to make fair, clear and data-driven decisions when stakes are high
People-centric communication: Grounded, curious and engaging, with the ability to translate data into insights and articulate the “why” behind decisions in a way that brings people along
Growth mindset: A continuous learner who is eager to develop into broader leadership roles and open to future international assignments
Tools & systems proficiency: Comfortable working with ERP systems; experience with SAP is a strong merit
Fluency in English and Swedish. Spoken and written
