What You'll Do

If you're a seasoned seller who thrives on complex, high-value deals and influencing at the executive level, this is your arena.

As a Building Account Executive – New Construction , you'll lead the charge in shaping the next generation of smart, connected buildings . You'll sit at the intersection of technology, construction, and strategy—driving large-scale, multi-million-dollar projects from vision through execution.

In this role, you won't just sell products—you'll architect end-to-end building solutions , integrating HVAC, fire, security, controls, and Johnson Controls' cutting-edge OpenBlue technology platform into some of the most dynamic construction projects in the market. Think healthcare campuses, airports, stadiums, and universities .

You'll partner directly with building owners, developers, architects, and consultants—guiding them through complex decisions and positioning Johnson Controls as the trusted, single-source solutions partner .

How You'll Do It

• Build and manage deep relationships with owners, architects, engineers, and contractors

• Differentiate Johnson Controls by delivering holistic, integrated solutions competitors can't match

• Collaborate with internal engineering, solutions, and service teams to bring your vision to life

• Own your pipeline, your strategy, and ultimately—your results

This is a role for someone who sees the big picture , anticipates complexities, and knows how to navigate and win in high-stakes environments .

Required:

• Bachelor's degree (Business, Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture) or equivalent experience

• 5–7+ years of progressive, high-level field sales experience , including executive engagement

• 3+ years in the building technologies or construction ecosystem
