How does this relate to BMS work?

Chillers are usually started and monitored by a BMS. This site's own engineers do the controls side; the network looks for refrigeration engineers for the plant itself.

Is this a job with Ape BMS Controls?

No. Applications go to the separate UK Gas Plumbers partner network. Ape BMS Controls continues to deliver its own BMS and controls services to customers.

Use the apply button, which opens https://app.ukgasplumbers.com. You will be asked for your trades, qualifications, insurance and the areas you cover.

Is work guaranteed once I am accepted?

No. Being accepted does not guarantee any number of jobs or any income. Work is offered when a client request matches your trade, availability and area, and you can decline it.

What evidence should I have ready for chiller engineer work?

Typically: F-Gas Category I certificate; Proven chiller experience (scroll, screw or centrifugal); Manufacturer training (Carrier, Trane, Daikin Applied, etc.) where held. Only list qualifications you actually hold — they are checked.

Coverage and local context

Ape BMS Controls' own building controls engineers work across London and the Home Counties — including Chichester, Watford, Bedford, Aldershot and Burgess Hill. That is our customer coverage, not a promise of chiller engineer work in those towns. When you apply, you tell the UK Gas Plumbers network which areas you can travel to, and it only offers jobs inside them.
