INTERVIEW WITH THOMAS
What did you do before you started at SPAR ICS?
I started as an in-house technician in two of the SES Shopping Centres in Salzburg. After 3 years, I transferred to the facility management department of the SES headquarters and became the first contact for all SES Shopping Centres, INTERSPAR and Maximarkt for the departments of electronics, security and IT. Alongside, I studied IT.
What is your job at SPAR ICS?
After many years in IT PMO as Project and Domain Portfolio Manager, where I was responsible for all IT infrastructure, facility, retail and innovation topics handled in projects, I switched to the "operations corner" as Global Service Owner. Currently, my international squad and I are responsible for the smooth and sustainable operation of the international SPAR network in the area of "Network Technologies" services.
What does your typical working day look like?
When running projects, I put emphasis on clearly defined aims, a practical approach, an efficient and cost-sensitive working process and the staffing of the “right” team members and, of course, the quality guarantee and quick delivery of our customer products.
Tell us about your most exciting working day at SPAR ICS so far.
It’s hard to define an exact day.
Every day is different. That’s what makes working at SPAR ICS so exciting.
