Fabrication engineer

Johnson Controls is seeking an office-based electrical engineering resource to support the design, fabrication, and implementation of small and large complex jobs.

Role Overview

The Fabrication Engineer helps ensure complex jobs are understood early, supported effectively, and delivered with strong technical control.
