Our Team


The work of TasWaste South is delivered by a small and highly experienced team.

Starting with one employee – CEO Paul Jackson – the team expanded to two in 2024 with the appointment of Waste Program Manager Tegan Lovell.

The team is expected to grow further as it continues to lead change and innovation in waste minimisation, management and resource recovery across Southern Tasmania.
