German supermarket retailer ALDI has initiated a recruitment drive to fill more than 30 open roles in Waterford.
The retailer, which celebrated 25 years in Ireland last year, is looking to recruit new team members for its network of five Waterford stores following a busy Christmas period and as the retailer prepares for a busy year ahead in delivering for its customers.
The open roles are a mix of both new jobs and backfill positions. The current starting rate for store assistants and warehouse operatives is €14.80 per hour, exceeding the current rate set by The Living Wage Technical Group.

In addition to competitive pay, new recruits will have access to dedicated employee benefits and comprehensive wellbeing support. Moreover, ALDI says it prioritises career progression opportunities for its employees, such as the Women in Leadership Programme which focuses on improving opportunities for women to progress to leadership roles across the business.
Having opened its first store in Ireland back in 1999, ALDI’s network has grown to 163 stores across the country, bringing ALDI’s unbeatable value to communities nationwide. One of the largest retailers operating here, ALDI employ over 4,650 people across its 163-store network in Ireland.
ALDI has invested more than €10 billion with Irish suppliers in its 25 years in Ireland and currently works with a network of more than 330 Irish businesses. The retailer spends more than €27 million with six Waterford-based suppliers annually.
Recruitment across the country is currently underway for various roles, including positions at new stores as well as filling existing vacancies. ALDI encourages interested individuals to apply promptly as the company continues to experience heightened demand across its existing store network in preparation for the year ahead.
