Radhi Ali Senior Fire Officer

Radhi has nearly 40 years’ service to Bapco. After joining Bapco in 1982 as an electrical trainee, Radhi moved to instrumentation where he conducted more than 20 theoretical and practical courses.

In 1985 he moved to the Fire and Safety Department, where he had the opportunity to complete training around the world with other fire safety schools including Williams Firefighting School in Texas and the Yorkshire Fire Service in the UK. Radhi has also visited numerous other countries including Spain, Oman and Hungary to maintain his expertise in the field of Industrial Firefighting.

Currently Radhi leads the induction activities for new firefighters at Bapco’s Fire School. Radhi comments, ‘at Bapco you live and work with family like you do at home’.

Abdulla Khalid is currently an Associate Shift Supervisor in the Oil Processing Department.

Abdulla graduated from the University of Leeds in 2017 with a Masters in Chemical Engineering. Abdulla joined Bapco at the beginning of 2018, initially as an Area Outside Operator. His IDP target career position is to become a Shift Supervisor after five years. This demanding career development requires candidates to successfully complete an accelerated programme that traditionally has taken much longer to complete. Bapco has promoted selected candidates with degree qualifications onto the IDP in recognition of their aptitude.

Abdulla joined BMP at the end of 2021 where his work responsibilities have been across both current and newly constructed process units that are being commissioned as part of BMP. Abdulla participated in the shutdown that occurred during Summer 2020, commenting that the work conditions and COVID-19 restrictions at that time were very challenging. Abdulla was proud of his contribution.

Abdulla describes Bapco as ‘very supportive’ and he is grateful for all the support that he has received from the early days of his education to his current position.
