How to Get Hired at Emerson Electric

Emerson Electric has transformed from a diversified industrial conglomerate into a focused global leader in industrial automation and control software through two defining 2023 transactions: the $14 billion sale of Climate Technologies (Copeland compressors, Sensi, White-Rodgers) to Blackstone, and the $8.2 billion acquisition of National Instruments. A 2022 majority stake in AspenTech at an $11 billion valuation completed the software pivot.
