You will recognise some of TTI’s most respected global brands, which include Milwaukee, AEG, Empire, Dirt Devil, Hoover, and Ryobi. Our portfolio is growing all the time as we continuously focus on innovation and on developing new, robust products with added value for all our users. Two of our most innovative brands are Milwaukee and Ryobi.

Milwaukee

Not only an industry-leading manufacturer and power tool innovator, but a complete, sustainable, and advanced solutions provider for tradespeople across the globe.

Since the company began in 1924, Milwaukee Tool has led the industry in developing innovative solutions for professional construction users. Through a dedicated and continuous flow of advanced trade-specific solutions, the business has now evolved into a complete solutions provider.

Our Power Equipment Division leads the way in industrial power tools, time-saving accessories, innovative hand tools, state of the art storage systems, layout and measuring tools, outdoor products, and safety equipment.

Milwaukee invests the time to work side-by-side with real users to understand the demands of a constantly changing workplace and how we can best deliver solutions for a safer, more productive and sustainable jobsite and some of our technologies have paved the way for how jobsites operate and will continue to do so in the future.

We have moved away from the unsustainable corded power solutions to more sustainable battery power and are now a world-leader in cordless lithium-ion technology.

I joined the TTI Graduate Leadership Programme in March 2019 as a Field Marketing Executive, working with the industry-leading professional power tool brand Milwaukee. The Field Marketing Executive role is an excellent opportunity to begin developing a holistic approach towards account management.

Through managing a portfolio of accounts, attending large-scale events and undertaking various training sessions, I gained a solid grounding for a career in Sales.

I progressed into the National Accounts team after 17 months, firstly to National Account Executive and then to my current role, as National Account Manager. This has been a great opportunity and I’ve enjoyed my journey so far.

It’s a pleasure to work for a reputable brand like Milwaukee and have the chance to work alongside a dedicated team.

“A 5* Assessment Centre, I really enjoyed myself”

I joined the TTI Graduate Leadership Programme in February 2021 as a Field Marketing Executive (FME) working with the industry leading professional solutions brand Milwaukee.

In my first year, I developed a multitude of skills through practical on-the-job training as well as in-depth external courses, including presentation skills, negotiation, and sales training days. This role provided me with so many opportunities, ranging from managing my own accounts across the South Coast and business development, to attending large national industry events to represent the brand.

After 14 months as an FME, I progressed into a leadership role as the FME Supervisor for the South UK team. This new role has presented me with many learning opportunities, and I am really enjoying the greater responsibilities. I manage and train the team, as well as assisting National Account Managers in multiple channels in a variety of capacities.
In April 2023, I was promoted to a National Account Executive within the Milwaukee team.

Working for such an innovative and rapidly growing brand gives me a great sense of satisfaction. I am proud to work with a like-minded and passionate team and look forward to my future with TTI.

FAQs

What degree do I need?

A degree in business, sales, marketing or engineering is highly relevant. However, we invite applications from graduates with any degree subject with a 2:2 or above.

I do not have much knowledge of the industry - should I still apply?

If you have knowledge of our industry and what we do, that's great, but we also strongly encourage those who are practically minded with a can-do attitude and want to develop sales and marketing skills to apply. We are looking to build a diverse group of graduates with a range of transferable skills as future business leaders.

What skills are you looking for?

You will need to be a confident communicator, who has a positive, can-do attitude and a drive to achieve results. You will be representing our brands across different channels and as such, building relationships with our customers, suppliers and trade channels, generating sales and demonstrating our products. You will need to have an organised approach to structuring your day and your appointments. You will work independently but will be very much part of a wider graduate team. You will take a pride in your work and our brand.

Will I receive feedback if my application is unsuccessful?
If you attend one of our assessment centres, then if requested, we will provide you with feedback which we hope you will find useful. Unfortunately, due to the high number of applications we receive, we are unable to provide individual feedback if your application is unsuccessful at the first stages.

Where will I be based?

Our entry-level graduate Field Marketing Executive roles are territory-based, and we will ask you to apply for a specific location(s). You will be working from home and expected to travel within your region for which a branded company van and fuel card will be provided.

There will be regular meet up points during weekly virtual meetings, training sessions, conferences, events and exhibitions. You will never feel totally on your own and support is not far away!

When and how will I be promoted?

Promotion is based on your own success and results in the role. We promote from within and promotion will depend on results, but also business opportunity.
