Hettiarachchi assumed duties as the Defence Secretary on September 09, 2015.

 

In a public service career spanning for over 40 years, he has served in a number of renowned institutions and government organizations. He commenced his career as a Civil Engineer at the Ministry of Housing and Constructions.

 

Prior to his present appointment he was the Secretary to the Ministry of Urban Development, Water Supply and Drainage.
