Aldi stores are springing up all over the country. But while it’s always nice to see queues of vehicles coming out of the car park, we also know that a silky smooth logistics strategy is more essential than ever.
So what can you expect from the Warehouse & Transport arm of our business? Market-leading pay, first-class equipment and a strong culture of recognition, trust and clarity. Everyone knows what’s expected of them. They feel completely respected, listened to and integral to the business.
Our Managers feel empowered to make their own decisions. Our Selectors can see exactly how they fit into the bigger picture and are loving their role. The fact is, people might join us for the generous pay or the quality equipment – but they stay for an awful lot more.
Our wonderful team of Selectors bring to life our love of efficiency and productivity. Receiving instructions through a headset, they ‘pick’ stock for a specific store and load it onto a pallet. This is then cling-wrapped and put in a particular lane for the Driver to collect and put safely onto a lorry.
Our Selectors tell us it’s a fun team to be part of, with plenty of variety and responsibility. You’ll need to let your Section Leader know if there’s any damaged stock. And you’ll also ensure that full pallets are secured - and clearly marked with the right store number – and that all the paperwork is accurate. Safety is high on the agenda, but you’re always ready to get the job done in a ‘high energy’, enthusiastic way. Because, let’s face it, we couldn’t run the show without you.

Interview
The interview will involve some brief skills assessments to test your numerical ability and attention to detail. There will then be an interview with a Section Manager and there will also be a warehouse tour.
I was attracted to a career at Aldi as it gives stability as well as the possibility of different roles or promotions. I love the flexibility shift work brings me; I have an early start and an early finish.
The role itself requires a positive attitude, reliability and efficiency. I always strive for success in my role and I’m proud that we provide something really important for communities across the country. The team that I work with are great and there is excellent communication and a great working environment.
I’ve worked at Aldi for a couple of years now and I love it. Our managers are really supportive and helpful. I work in a great team where I am are given the skills I need to be successful in the role.
One of the most challenging things about the role is being consistent. You need good attention to detail and need to be consistent in the delivery of your tasks. I get to learn new things every day which makes the role exciting.
The flexibility of the role is also really important for me and it affords me a great work life balance so I can be successful at work and outside of work.
We know you're looking for a career that gives you more. More opportunity, more prospects and more for your future. A career in Warehouse & Transport offers you more with one of the world's most successful retailers.
We’re growing so quickly, we’re always on the lookout for new colleagues. If your preferred location is not currently recruiting, you can register your interest which will notify you when the distribution centre is recruiting. Apply or register your interest on the link above.
The roles are based in the Aldi Regional Distribution Centre in either Naas, Co. Kildare or Mitchelstown, Co. Cork.
All candidates, whether successful or not will be notified via email. We are understandably receiving a high volume of applications at the moment so it is taking longer than usual to process, but assure you we are working very hard to process as many applications as we can.
Ensure to be yourself. We need to know that you can handle hard work, effectively manage your time and that you’ll be a reliable team member. Prior to the video interview, remember to think about why you are interested in this position and what you can bring to the role.
Selectors work 5 days/ 30+ hours a week typically (including weekends). We ensure all colleagues have an equal number of full weekends off. You will also enjoy 4 weeks’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
As long as you arrive to your shift on time everyday - we don’t mind how you arrive. Therefore, your own transport is not essential.
Training will take place in the Regional Distribution Centre where you have secured your position.
You will have a comprehensive 12 week training programme which involves all kinds of activities. Experienced colleagues will take you under their wing and help you learn everything from mechanical handling equipment, building pallets and the ins and outs of health & safety. You will be part of a buddy system so you will always have someone to ask questions to. Both your Section Leader and Section Manager will be closely involved and you will meet with them at regular intervals to see how you are getting on.
Your success in this role is about attitude, tenacity and ambition. You’ll need to have a ‘get-on-with-it’ kind of attitude and a passion for the business. Attention to detail and accuracy are very important in this role.
