Successful Employee Development at the Vienna Branch

Vienna / Graz, March 5, 2025. The civil engineering firm Lorenz Consult has recently moved into its new office space in Vienna’s Simmering district. The branch of the Graz-based company covers an area of approximately 235 square meters and provides a modern workplace for eleven employees. Additional staff are being sought.

Lorenz Consult has had a presence in Vienna since 2006, with its headquarters in Graz. Initially, the office was staffed by just two employees, but today, seven employees manage the growing customer base. Additionally, about three employees commute weekly from Graz to Vienna. Over the next one to two years, Lorenz Consult aims to further increase the number of employees in Vienna. This expansion is a direct result of the improved order situation, which significantly exceeded expectations last year. To further enhance effectiveness, Lorenz Consult is actively seeking new talent for the Vienna office. As the team in Vienna has grown, the company moved to a larger office in early 2025, now located on Modecenterstraße in the 11th district.

When selecting the location and office furnishings, a strong emphasis was placed on sustainability. Furniture from previous locations is being reused in line with ecological responsibility, and the existing layout of the new office was minimally modified. Another key requirement was finding office space that enables focused work in a pleasant atmosphere. The office is in close proximity to the subway and is also easily accessible by bicycle. The new office is located in the MARXIMUM building, which has been awarded the Silver Certification by ÖGNI (Austrian Sustainable Building Council) for its environmentally friendly construction and efficient resource usage, contributing to lower primary energy consumption. Employees also have access to a private rooftop terrace.

“I am very pleased with our success in Vienna and that we have now found a suitable office for our growing team. In Vienna, we are highly active in the healthcare sector, particularly in laboratory and pharmaceutical planning. Additionally, we specialize in HVAC planning, civil engineering, and technical infrastructure projects. Our expertise is applied in both planning and construction supervision across various areas of structural engineering, supply technology, and infrastructure,” said Christian Lorenz, Managing Director of Lorenz Consult.

Focus on Optimal Collaboration Between Locations

In addition to its headquarters in Graz and the Vienna branch, Lorenz Consult also has offices in Linz and Villach. These locations aim to provide the best possible service to clients on-site. A key success factor in this strategy is strong collaboration among employees across different locations. To facilitate this, an internal application process was launched in September 2024 to appoint a location coordinator. A member of the Vienna team has taken on this important role in addition to their regular duties. Their responsibility is to ensure the technical operation of the office, foster social interaction among colleagues, and promote intensive exchange between the specialized team leaders.

“As a company that has been recognized multiple times by kununu as a Top Company, we are committed to providing an ideal working environment for all our employees. A shared vision, team learning, and the creation of conditions that allow individuals to perform at their best are of great importance to us,” added Christian Lorenz.

Expectations for the Vienna branch are high: Lorenz Consult plans to establish Vienna as an equal location to Graz in the medium term, enabling efficient execution of projects in the company’s core areas of expertise.
