In 1933 at the age of 21, he began a career as supervisor engineer at the General Directorate of Highways in Erzurum, where he worked until 1937. He was then appointed as the local manager of the Public Construction Works in Çanakkale (1937–1942) and Samsun (1942–1946). From 1946 to 1950, İleri served as the manager of the Highway Authority in Samsun.[2]
In 1950, he joined the Democrat Party (DP), and was elected as an MP from Samsun (electoral district). Throughout the DP-government years, he was always in the party's top politicians. He served as the Minister of Transportation (22 May 1950 – 11 August 1950), Minister of National Education (13 April – 25 November 1957 and 22 May 1959 – 8 December 1959 as placeholder), Deputy Prime Minister (25 November 1957 – 19 January 1958) and Minister of Public Works (19 January 1958 – 27 May 1960).[2][3]
