Aldi is one of the fastest growing supermarkets in Ireland and one of the world’s most successful retailers. Our pay and benefits are amongst the highest in the sector. We’re also renowned for our training programmes too, but it’s about much more than that. So many of our people have fallen in love with our ethos, the way we do business, and everything that we stand for. We’re getting things right, and you could be part of it.

With roots dating back to 1913, Aldi (short for Albrecht Discount) entered the Irish market in 1999. We currently have more than 6,500 stores across our international portfolio including stores in Ireland, the UK, Europe, Australia, China and the USA.

The Aldi graduate area manager programme has been carefully developed to provide graduates with a thorough understanding of not only our store operations, but how the wider business ‘knits’ together to become the international brand that our people and customers trust.

On the 12-month graduate area manager programme, you’ll gain a well-rounded view of how we do things at Aldi to become part of our growing talented area manager team. The combination of on-the-job training and soft skills training will equip you with the necessary skills to achieve your potential as an area manager. Graduates receive incredible support, 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.
