Armistead Mechanical Inc. Services, a provider of mechanical construction, engineering and HVAC contracting services throughout the New Jersey/New York area, has hired Matthew Grande to join the company’s seasoned automation control team.

Grande’s deep experience in active energy management and automation architecture will help Waldwick-based Armistead guide its clients — which include commercial buildings, hospitals and Fortune 500 companies — through the process of incorporating digital technologies and solutions to manage energy and process in ways that are safe, reliable, efficient and sustainable.

Armistead Mechanical Inc. Services’ team of building automation control experts offers a combined 50-plus years of mechanical contracting experience. These complementary professional backgrounds allow Armistead to service its clients more comprehensively than traditional building automation control vendors.

In his new position, Grande will focus on assisting customers with the system design and layout of their HVAC, security and lighting control systems, handling all aspects of project delivery, from design to estimating to sales to project management. He will focus on the digital transformation of energy management and automation — guiding customers in the deployment and usage of IoT-enabled solutions that connect, collect, analyze and act on data in real-time.
