What Barbara's colleagues say about her

Günter Hickl, the Operational Manager of FCC Zistersdorf Abfall Service GmbH  

“Barbara is in charge of the mechanical maintenance; she has four employees in her team. Her employees work shifts and Barbara herself does not work shifts but still must be on call at the weekend. What is special about Barbara is that she is very organized and very good with her staff. We like her positive mindset and the fact that no problem is unsolvable for her. Thanks to her open nature, she can easily assert herself even in a typically male team.”

What does Barbara like about her job at FCC?

"I have been working for FCC for almost 9 years now. I have never had such a reliable, correct, flexible, and loyal employer. As a wife and mother of a 6-year-old daughter, as well as a career “changer” in technology, I am always supported and encouraged. Since 2021, I have held the responsible position of Maintenance Manager of Mechanical Engineering at our waste-to-energy plant in Zistersdorf. What I particularly appreciate about my job is the extremely varied range of tasks. I work with great, motivated people every day and couldn't wish for a better team, even as a manager. It's great fun to be able to demonstrate my potential in such a dynamic organization."
