Aldi Stores (Ireland) Limited
If you want ‘a job in a supermarket’, then look away now.
We don’t just offer jobs. We’re exciting, fast-paced and we do things our way. It’s why we’re one of the world’s fastest-growing retailers in Ireland and why we’re such a great employer.
Aldi is a place for people who get involved at every opportunity and see a curve ball as another chance to learn. They want to share their ideas. And they enjoy market-leading rewards for all their hard work.
With roots dating back to 1913, Aldi (short for Albrecht Discount) entered the Irish market in 1999. We have a vast network of over 140 stores across the country and ambitious plans to open many more. We are committed to recruiting the highest calibre of graduate, who enjoys working with people and being part of a team. Graduates receive incredible support throughout their training, with a dedicated mentor and regular one-to-one sessions with talented, knowledgeable and supportive colleagues. Graduates are further supported by the Director team to ensure their ongoing development and success, not only through the 12 month programme, but throughout their Aldi career.
