You collaborate effectively with others, share information openly, and step up to address difficult issues, always acting with honesty and integrity. You remain resilient and resourceful in the face of change, learning quickly, adapting your approach, and seeking innovative ways to create value for customers and for Emerson.

• Proven ability to work effectively in a matrix organization, collaborating across multiple business units, functions, and geographies.
• Familiarity with OEM/EPC project lifecycles and end-user engagement strategies, from early conceptual design through commissioning and lifecycle services.
