Search on for new Wannon Water Managing Director

Wannon Water’s Board has started a recruitment process to appoint a new Managing Director.

Current Managing Director Andrew Jeffers advised that he is not seeking reappointment when his contract ends in mid-July 2025.

Mr Jeffers was first appointed to lead the water corporation in July 2015 and has had an extensive career in the water sector.

Mr Jeffers said it was a privilege to have held the position of Managing Director. “Wannon Water is a fabulous organisation. We do important work which is of immense benefit to our communities and our region.”

Board Chair Helen Scarborough said Mr Jeffers had made an enormous contribution to Wannon Water and the water sector, and would continue to do so for the next five months.

“Our customers have benefited from Andrew’s leadership and commitment to ensure our organisation is financially sound, so they receive great value for their investment in water and sewerage services,” Dr Scarborough said.

“He’s been a powerful advocate for South West Victoria and our vision to gobeyond water for strong communities. Andrew has always put people at the centre of his decision-making and is particularly passionate about ensuring we lead by example as a safe, inclusive and equitable organisation that embraces and promotes diversity.”

The recruitment and selection process for a new Managing Director has started, with the aim of announcing a successful candidate mid-year.
