Joe D’Ambrosio is president and chief engineer of IMEC. An innovator in industrial and mechanical engineering, he has served as a consultant to the nuclear, petrochemical, biotech, semiconductor, electronic, food, power generating, and construction industries. He has created and conducted numerous training programs to educate industrial plant personnel, power generating advisors, and engineering consultants on a wide range of topics; and he has testified as an expert witness in industrial litigation.
D’Ambrosio became a nationally recognized expert in compressed air technology as CEO and chief engineer of Air Power of New England, where he led a staff of more than 50 employees and was a trailblazer in industrial service organization management. He is certified as an AirMaster+ by the Compressed Air Challenge, an initiative of the U.S. Dept. of Energy to build awareness of best practices in the design, installation, and maintenance of compressed air systems. He contributed to the creation of the Compressed Air Challenge’s Best Practices manual.
To satisfy a growing demand for industrial water recirculation system engineering and installation, D’Ambrosio founded Systems H2O in 2000. The turn-key design/build nature of these large energy-efficient projects led to opportunities as a general contractor for commercial construction requiring extensive heating and cooling systems. Systems H2O changed its name to IMEC (Innovative Mechanical Engineering and Contracting) in 2008 to better represent the company’s range of services. D’Ambrosio holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Boston College.
