Advertisements for a new Casey Council chief executive have been posted three months after the long-serving Mike Tyler’s sudden departure.
The position is currently being advertised by recruitment firm Davidson Executive Recruitment, Casey Council has confirmed.
Casey people and culture manager Fran Boyd said the council was on track to start interviews in July after a “suitable field” of candidates were identified.
Casey has been without a permanent CEO since its long-serving boss Mike Tyler announced his sudden departure from Casey on 22 February.
In the meantime, there has been a churning of acting CEOs – with council executives Sheena Frost, David Wilkinson and Steve Dalton spending time at the helm.
Recently, Cr Ablett said there’s “no war” between councillors and the council’s administration despite the departure of Mr Tyler and the first acting CEO Ms Frost within a month.
Mr Dalton, who managed the construction of Bunjil Place, was then appointed by councillors as acting chief executive.
While he took scheduled leave in April, Mr Wilkinson temporarily filled the position.
Davidson Executive Recruitment was selected at a special closed council meeting on 23 April.
