Employees at AustroCel Hallein

Anna
Laboratory Technician

“My fascination with chemistry began in junior high, where I was drawn to its fundamental building blocks and endless discoveries. An apprenticeship as a chemical laboratory technician at AustroCel was a great opportunity.
Today, I am responsible for monitoring wastewater quality, overseeing process chemicals, and contributing to research and development. Through our analyses, we ensure high-quality, sustainable products while protecting the environment.

Teaching has remained a passion, and as an apprentice instructor, I now support new trainees, combining theory with practice while fostering responsibility and teamwork. You gradually become self-sufficient.”

Roland
Electrical Engineer

“I started my career at AustroCel in 2002. My playful interest in electronics, the reputation as a good trainer with a forward-looking perspective, both personally and professionally, drew me to the electrical engineering apprenticeship.

Today, I manage measurement and control systems, program the process control system, and coordinate organizational processes. This requires personal responsibility, team leadership, efficient project management, and continuous IT development.

After 20 years with the company, including several years in command of the company fire department, I have only one conclusion: AustroCel is innovative, at the cutting edge, but also a family.”

Daniel
Master Cooker

“Through my apprenticeship as a paper technician and then as a chemical process engineer at AustroCel Hallein, I learned a lot about chemical and process engineering processes.

My interest in chemistry and physics led me to an apprenticeship at a nearby pulp mill. As a master cooker, I put my knowledge into practice every day. The varied work alternates between on-site plant operation and control in the control room.

Constant projects to increase production, improve quality, and optimize the use of by-products make the future exciting. I've been working shifts for 11 years – with enough free time for hobbies like climbing and hiking.”

Rainer
Authority Management

“With over 25 years of experience in project management and plant planning, including over 16 years at AustroCel, I took over Authority Management in 2019.I support large-scale projects from development to commissioning, maintaining a balance between legality, economic viability, and sustainability. Collaborating with experts keeps me up to date with the latest technology. As Deputy Environmental Officer, I actively promote sustainability.

In order to remain a technology leader in the future in the production of high-quality viscose pulp and other technical applications, ongoing training and further education are essential and fit perfectly with my motto: "I learn something new every day; my life goes on and always remains exciting and interesting.”
