As Country Director, Galal oversees operations and growth in the dynamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). With an impressive track record working on iconic projects around the world, he was drawn to the abundance of unique opportunities in KSA.
His passion for unpicking complex project challenges and finding synergy in diverse approaches led him to explore cost management, and, impressed by our international ethos and reputation, to join Gleeds International Team in London. One of his proudest achievements was being recognised as a finalist for the RICS Young Surveyor of the Year award in 2017.
Creativity is a core value at Gleeds and is incredibly important in creating bespoke solutions for each client's unique challenges. The ambitious Vision 2030 realisation programs in Saudi Arabia offer unparalleled prospects for professionals in the built environment looking to exercise their creativity.
Under his leadership, Gleeds KSA continue to enhance our positive impact in the Middle East, prioritising knowledge transfer, investing in local talent, sustainability and environmental progress in the exceptional projects we’re involved in. He takes great pride in the positive client feedback that Gleeds KSA receives and is driven by the progress and growth of the team.
Galal has always resonated with our culture of performance-driven career progression. Today, as he supports his team in KSA to grow and succeed, Galal feels proud to be part of such a supportive and driven community. He encourages aspiring professionals to embrace continuous skill development and, reflecting on his own fulfilling journey across many of our global offices, explore the international opportunities on offer at Gleeds.
