Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) Installer in at ALLIANCE INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION S

The Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) Installer plays a vital role in building high-performance thermal envelopes for industrial refrigeration environments, including commercial cold storage facilities, food processing plants, pharmaceutical warehouses, and distribution centers. This position requires advanced skills in erecting structural insulated panel systems, achieving air- and vapor-tight thermal seals, and integrating structural panels with industrial HVAC/R configurations.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Thermal Enclosure Installation: Unload, stage, lay out, and erect Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) for low-temp and medium-temp commercial buildings, walk-in coolers, and massive industrial freezers.

• Sealing & Vapor Barrier Continuity: Apply specialty butyl sealants, vapor barriers, expandable foams, and caulking strictly to architectural specs to prevent thermal bridging, frost accumulation, and moisture infiltration.

• Precision Metal Layout & Cutting: Measure, scribe, and use field tools (nibblers, continuous band saws, circular saws) to cut precise penetrations into metal panels for large HVAC/R line sets, ductwork, evaporators, and industrial doors.

• Flashing & Trim Work: Fabricate and install intricate perimeter flashing, internal/external corner trims, and sanitary coves using heavy-duty sheet metal tools.

• Rigging & Material Handling: Operate and guide vacuum lifters, material hoists, and heavy machinery to position oversized panels safely at heights.

• Blueprint & Submittal Reading: Interpret structural drawings, shop submittals, and specialized cold-storage layout details to verify precise panel alignments, layout spans, and connection points.
