The company is seeking a Senior Controls Account Executive to drive business growth and develop long-term client relationships within the Portland, Eugene, Bend, and Southwest Washington territories.

This position is pivotal to expanding the company’s market presence through a consultative sales approach, utilizing the SPIN selling process (Situation, Problem, Implication, Need).

  • Employ the consultative SPIN selling process to identify client needs and deliver tailored solutions, tracking progress through the company CRM platform.
  • Proactively eliminate competitor threats within the client base and ensure a high level of client satisfaction.
  • Lead client onboarding processes and foster long-term, productive relationships through full-cycle engagement.
  • Provide in-depth consultation on building systems, including energy costs, operations costs, lighting systems, and building system integration.
  • Assess existing building lighting applications and develop full LED lighting upgrade projects in collaboration with key vendors and partners.
  • Develop and estimate complex controls system projects, incorporating engineering, programming, electrical installation, graphical database creation, and functional testing / commissioning.
  • Conduct “lunch and learn” presentations for consulting engineering professionals to promote the specification of leading products, such as Distech, into their designs.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless project execution and client satisfaction.

Qualifications

  • 10–15 years of direct experience with building controls, including demonstrated leadership experience.
  • Expertise in DDC control theory, applications, and programming, with hands-on experience in Tridium / Niagara systems (Distech experience preferred).
  • Proven knowledge of high-rise building systems, energy management, and building integration solutions.
  • Strong understanding of business-to-business sales, client development, and strategic project management.
  • Experience with estimating and developing controls projects, as well as familiarity with engineering, programming, electrical installation, and commissioning processes.
  • Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage clients, partners, and consulting engineers.
  • If you’re a results-driven professional with a proven track record in building controls and a passion for delivering innovative solutions, this role offers an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact. Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply today.
