Since its founding in Vienna in 1869, PORR has grown into one of the largest construction companies in Europe and Austria’s biggest building contractor in the domestic building industry. As head of the legal department since 2003, Wolfgang Hussian has amassed a complete understanding of the company’s operations and is one of the country’s finest in-house legal professionals. The bi-lingual Hussain’s most notable recent contributions to PORR include handling all legal matters related to the company’s rebranding in 2013, the splitting of PORR’s real estate business the following year and the integration of its Teerag-Asdag subsidiary into the parent company in 2016. Outside of PORR, Hussein holds a number of significant industry position such as chairman of the Federation of Building Industries of the Federal Economic Chamber’s legal committee, vice-president of the ÖGEBAU and member of the Committee of the Federation of Industrialists. He is also a specialist author and lectures at the University of Vienna, the university he obtained his degree from in 1995.
