Zaid started as a BP process analytics scientist and then progressed into instrument and control, including team lead roles. Followed by Engineering Learning Director and then Engineering Modernisation & Transformation Director leadership roles. His current role is Engineering Tools & Data Product Owner. He has a BSc and PhD in Chemical Physics from the University of Sussex and an MSc in Process Automation from the University of Newcastle.

Zaid is a Chartered Engineer with the Institute of Measurement & Control and a member of the IChemE. He volunteers because he is interested in new ideas and technology so it’s a great way of staying in touch with new developments and hearing new things by me organising IChemE webinars. Zaid also enjoys helping with other committee roles like setting up our Advances in Process Control conference and helping others with their continuous professional development.
