Whanganui District Council has begun advertising for a new council chief executive, as existing CE Kym Fell prepares to transition to a new role at Wellington City Council.
Fell resigned from his position as chief executive at the end of August, announcing his intention to move into a new role as chief customer and community officer at Wellington City Council.
According to the council, Fell is expected to remain in his role until the end of October.
The search for a replacement for Fell began last week, with a job ad posted by employment agency Sheffield Search.
According to the advertisement, the council is looking for an applicant with a track record in leading significant projects, as well as managing a large team.
