Gayanath Welagedara is a Cost Manager based in the vibrant city of Dubai, UAE.
With his infectious enthusiasm, he has quickly established himself as a key player in the region, navigating the intricacies of cost management and helping to drive the successful financial planning of projects.
Despite being relatively new to the role, he has enjoyed many diverse opportunities, specialising in residential and commercial projects. He is proud of the significant impact he’s been able to have so early on in his career, working closely with clients and contractors alike.
Since joining Gleeds in April 2023, he has gained confidence from the encouraging work environment that he says places value on continuous learning. He has set ambitious goals for his professional growth, with aspirations to ascend into senior management.
I would encourage anyone joining Gleeds to be themselves – that authenticity is so important to building meaningful connections within the Gleeds community, which is one of the most important parts of the job.
Gayanath enjoys leading an active and balanced lifestyle. He starts his mornings with refreshing walks and jogs, and often participates in games such as badminton, cricket, and swimming to stay fit and healthy.
Looking ahead, Gayanath hopes to play a part in Gleeds Dubai’s expansion, securing exciting projects and further solidifying its position as a consultancy leader in the Middle East. He plans to help expand our project portfolio, ensure client satisfaction, and make Gleeds the go-to choice for cost consultancy.
