CEO search for Wagner Corporation

New role covers private company

TOOWOOMBA transport and logistics powerhouse Wagner Corporation is on the hunt for its first chief executive officer.

The private company for the powerful Wagner family, which oversees the Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport and Wellcamp Business Park, started advertising for the position this week.

The newly-created role would answer to chairman John Wagner and be responsible “for the development and implementation of business growth strategies, financial management and general business operations”.

“We are seeking a career-focused, experienced CEO for our business, which includes overseeing a diverse array of land holdings and impending developments,” the advertisement said.

“Critical to this role will be your ability to drive growth and capitalise on new streams of sustainable income.

“You will be a truly proactive business leader with extensive experience in a similar industry, with a proven ability to lead, coach and manage a team in order to meet business objectives.”

The role is unaffiliated with the publicly-listed Wagners Holding Company, which oversees construction materials and composite fibre technology development.

The advertisement comes just a few months after the Wellcamp Airport was picked as the host of Qantas’ first pilot training academy.

The Wellcamp Business Park already features Wagners and oil and gas technology company Schlumberger, with the RSPCA and Green Distillation Technologies also slated to set up shop.

Wagner Corporation was contacted for further comment.
