As Project Director at Gleeds Peru, Imran Hussain spearheads the transformative 'Reconstruction with Changes' programme, partnering with the Peruvian government to implement best practices across a monumental portfolio.
His expertise drives the rebuilding of 74 schools, 15 healthcare facilities, and the execution of critical flood defence works on 17 rivers nationwide, showcasing his pivotal role in shaping Peru's infrastructure future. Imran's days are a fusion of urban energy and remote fieldwork. His work takes him from the pulsating heart of Lima's business district to the breath-taking, far-flung corners of Peru. Each day unfolds as a new adventure, filled with opportunities to make a lasting impact.
Driven by a passion for growth and a desire to effect meaningful change, Imran finds particular fulfilment in his work in developing nations.
In these environments, our efforts yield profoundly visible results, transforming communities and lives. Witnessing first-hand the daily impact of our work is not just professionally rewarding, but personally transformative.
Imran’s versatility shines as he navigates complex financial challenges, dissects intricate contractual negotiations, and leads high-stakes meetings with clients and contractors, often showcasing his linguistic prowess by conducting discussions entirely in Spanish.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Imran maintains a vibrant personal life, balancing his passion for football and fitness with the occasional foray into salsa dancing. Reflecting on his career journey, he shares with a hint of humour:
I once dreamed of becoming a pilot, but my poor vision steered me towards a different kind of high-flying career – one where I'm helping to elevate communities and reshape Peru's future.
