  • Apply technical and business expertise
    You'll use your knowledge of building automation systems and construction workflows to deliver solutions that solve real operational and environmental challenges-earning credibility, loyalty, and repeat business.
  • Proactively grow your territory
    You'll identify, pursue, and qualify new prospects aligned with Johnson Controls' strategy, while maintaining a strong network of industry relationships. You'll consistently move opportunities forward using a disciplined and transparent sales process.

  • Advocate for your customers internally
    You'll act as the voice of the customer within Johnson Controls, setting clear expectations, supporting project closeout and final inspections, and ensuring customers are trained and confident in their system operation so they realize lasting value.
