He worked for the Austrian Federal Railways between 1950 and 1954 and then worked from 1954 to 1961 as a designer for transformer construction at ELIN-UNION AG in Weiz. In 1961 he was promoted to head of work and scheduling for the entire transformer construction, from 1969 he was technical assistant to the plant management of Elin-Union AG for electrical industry.

In 2014, Krenn gave the municipality of Weiz a short video interview that was published on Facebook as part of an image campaign to merge the municipalities of Weiz and Krottendorf . He let it be known that he was pleased about the merger of the two municipalities, as this had already been considered in the 1970s (during his tenure as mayor), but had failed at the time due to political resistance.
