About us…
Our family is the 5th generation owner of the only grocery store at Weißensee, which has been run as a general store since the beginning of the century. Our grandfather Karl Knaller joined the newly founded Austrian SPAR organization in 1959. Our store was not only the first SPAR store in Carinthia, but also the first self-service store in the country.
Around the same time, the campsite on the southern shore welcomed its first guests and the only public lido in the municipality of Weißensee was built. Our new beach café caters for the physical well-being of camping and bathing guests with sustainable food and drinks.
A few years after the opening of the campsite, the first summer guests were welcomed at the Knaller-Möd bed and breakfast in the center of Techendorf. You can now find vacation apartments in the **** category at this location.
Our own lake access for house guests is also popular with our employees. Our bicycles are also at your disposal.
We are looking for reinforcement … we are looking for YOU
We are looking for reinforcement … we are looking for YOU
Especially in the summer season (June to September) and in winter (Christmas to the end of February), we are looking for employees to enrich and support our team in the various establishments.
You can find a description of the various full-time and part-time employment opportunities, broken down by establishment and tasks, in the various tabs … take a look.
There’s sure to be something for you too …
Delicatessen service
Our service departments for fresh meat, sausage and cheese as well as bread and pastries are a sign of how we like to shape the relationship with our customers: personally and with advice. In SPAR’s internal training courses, there is always information as well as tips and tricks that can make your daily work easier and more rewarding. This department is also open to “career changers” who enjoy working with fresh food.
Fruit and vegetables
Another focal point in our store is the fresh produce department. The goods, most of which are fresh, must be constantly looked after and monitored, as they give the first impression when you enter the store.
We are very keen to offer regional and seasonal products wherever possible. We therefore consciously pay attention to these criteria when sourcing goods and selecting our suppliers.
A visual inspection and timely labeling of the reduced fresh produce is very important to us so that we have to dispose of as little valuable food as possible or pass it on to the SOMA market in Spittal.
Shelf service
There is always something to do …
Due to the wide range of items on offer, it is possible that customers leave a bit of a “mess” in our store. It’s up to you to keep this mess to a minimum and, above all, to ensure that our replenishment works well. A clear overview of our stock, especially with regard to minimum shelf life dates, is important so that we can always react in good time.
By carefully working through the shelves, you ensure that all labels are legible and that only saleable products are on offer.
Cash desk area
You are the last contact and the last smile before our customers leave the store …
A friendly tone in stressful situations is required in this job. We know that this is not always easy.
With modern scanner tills, you only have to memorize a few PLUs for some standard items such as pastries. But don’t worry, you can also look up these numbers.
Even though cash handling is becoming less and less common, cashiering is a job that requires trust and where the till has to be right in the evening.
Room Service
Our employees have it good, because we clean with enjo fibers – only with water, without any chemicals. We use biodegradable limescale remover, pure soap and cleaning paste as cleaning agents.
We have rented our bed linen, so only the towels need to be washed.
If you are interested in enjo, you can find more information here.
Building services
Manual skills and independent work are prerequisites for this varied job. Small repairs are constantly needed both in the house and in the apartments. We also focus on waste separation and recycling. This falls within your area of responsibility. Therefore, a car driver’s license is required to drive our VW bus.
There are a lot of tasks to do outside at any time of year. In summer, all lawns and the beach with children’s play equipment and boats have to be looked after. In winter, all traffic routes must be kept clear of snow and ice.
Our floor staff are also happy to lend a helping hand when there is a really heavy change.
Reception
Are you outgoing and enjoy working with people? Then you’ve come to the right place!
Due to our international audience, at least English is a MUST in addition to German. Any other language is of course an advantage. Our hotel program will support you with administrative tasks.
Our room service is also happy to receive support and every helping hand when there are many apartments to clean.
Groundsman
This varied job requires administrative skills, organizational talent, the ability to work independently and manual skills.
There are always small repairs to be done in the sanitary building. And there is always gardening work to be done on site. We also focus on waste separation and recycling. This also falls within your area of responsibility. A car driver’s license is a prerequisite. If you have a tractor driver’s license – tractors over 3.5 t dead weight – that would be even better.
The main task is to look after our guests in a varied manner. In addition to a perfect knowledge of German, English is a MUST. Any other language will help you. Due to the international guests, you can certainly improve your language skills.
Our camping program supports you in all administrative activities. In the outdoor area there are a lot of tasks to do in every season. In summer, all the lawns and the only public beach have to be looked after. In winter, all pitches and paths must be kept free of snow and ice.
Lifeguard
If you have the relevant training or at least have an Austrian Water Rescue helper’s license, then we would love to welcome you during the summer months at the only lido on the western shore of Lake Weissensee.
You will also look after the cash desk and work closely with your colleagues in the campsite administration or support them in their activities.
Cleaning staff in the sanitary building and lido
Our modern sanitary building is our flagship. Your job is to ensure that we continue to receive such positive feedback. We will provide you with equipment and utensils that will not make cleaning easier for you, but will make it much easier.
It is also important that you are NOT a morning grouch, because getting up early makes the various tasks much easier. And when the guests arrive, most of the work is already done for you.
The toilets on the beach are also part of your area of responsibility. They have to be in order by early morning. At lunchtime, you help out in the beach café and in the afternoon you carry out further checks and clean the most conspicuous soiling in the sanitary building.
Kitchen and Service
Our unique and beautiful lakeside terrace is open to all visitors as well as camping and bathing guests.
You start by selling pastries in the morning and prepare small dishes in the morning. During the opening hours of the lido, you provide the bathers with self-service food and drinks.
Cleaning
You are responsible for all cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, glasses and everything else that arises in a catering business.
In the evening, you will help clean the equipment, clean the floor and make sure that the terrace is in perfect condition for our restaurant guests the next day.
