About Brandon Cristobal

As a Sales Engineer for Guy L. Warden & Sons, I bridge the gap between engineering, operations, and sales by delivering technically sound solutions for steam, hot water, and condensate systems across institutional and commercial facilities. My role combines hands-on field experience with consultative selling to support central plants, healthcare systems, higher-education campuses, and complex mechanical infrastructures.I conduct on-site system evaluations, steam trap surveys, and equipment assessments to identify inefficiencies, failed components, and energy losses. Using these findings, I recommend properly engineered solutions involving steam traps, pressure-reducing valves, control valves, heat exchangers, strainers, separators, and related mechanical equipment. I work closely with manufacturers and internal teams to ensure correct product application, code compliance, and long-term system reliability.Serving as a technical advisor to facility managers, engineers, and maintenance teams, I translate complex system conditions into clear, actionable recommendations. I support customers through equipment selection, budgeting, quoting, and project execution while emphasizing lifecycle cost savings, safety, and maintainability.In addition to technical responsibilities, I coordinate with inside sales, vendors, and logistics teams to manage multi-site accounts, phased retrofits, and time-sensitive projects. My focus is on building long-term partnerships by helping customers modernize aging infrastructure, improve energy efficiency, and reduce unplanned downtime through well-engineered, practical solutions.
