In short
- ALDI hires through its own careers site, aldicareers.com.au, and asks everyone to apply online.
- Its jobs fall into four areas: stores, warehouses, transport and office.
- The store and warehouse role pages say you don’t need previous experience in that kind of work.
- ALDI says it does not sponsor visas and that all candidates need full working rights.
- OzWorkly is independent. We don’t recruit for ALDI and can’t pass on your application.
Where are ALDI jobs advertised?
ALDI Australia runs its own careers site. Every vacancy we found sat on its Jobs page, and each one links to an online application.
What ALDI says (checked 13 October 2026): the Jobs page lets you search by keyword and location, and filter by department and type of employment. The FAQ on the Stores page says: “Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we ask all applicants to apply online”. It also says that if you can’t find the store you want, “we may not be hiring for that store currently”, and suggests signing up to Job Alerts.
So a printed resume left at the register, or an email to a store manager, is not the route ALDI describes. If nothing is open near you, set up an alert and wait for the ad.
Our tip: set alerts for every store you could get to on public transport for an early start or a late finish, not only the closest one. A store that’s 15 minutes further away but on a direct bus route is often the better bet.
What kinds of work does ALDI offer?
ALDI’s careers site splits its jobs into four areas. Most entry-level vacancies we saw were in stores.
Stores
What ALDI says: the Stores page lists Retail Assistant, Duty Store Manager, Assistant Store Manager, Store Manager and Area Manager, and says: “We have clear development pathways within stores from Store Assistant to Executive Manager.” On 13 October 2026 the Jobs page also had a separate Junior Store Assistant category.
The entry role is the retail assistant: register, shelves, special buys displays and keeping the store in order. Read our guide to the ALDI retail assistant role, and our general guide to retail assistant work in Australia if you’re new to shop work.
Warehouses
What ALDI says: the Warehouse page lists roles including Warehouse Caretaker, Warehouse Checker, Warehouse Operator and section leader roles. It describes work in “the chiller, the freezer, produce, specials or even the chocolate room”.
Warehouse operators receive stock from suppliers and pick orders for stores. Our guide to the ALDI warehouse operator role covers the tasks, safety and what to ask about shifts at each site.
Transport
The Transport page lists Transport Operator, Palletiser, Mechanic and leader roles. For Transport Operator roles it says you need “a minimum heavy vehicle licence class of Heavy Combination (HC)” and that it is “unable to accept HR or MR licences”.
Office
The Office page lists teams such as Buying, Finance, IT, Human Resources, Supply Chain and Data Analytics. We don’t cover office roles yet.
How does the application process work?
ALDI’s Stores and Warehouse pages set out the same six steps. Here they are in plain terms, with ALDI’s own words where they matter.
What ALDI says (Stores and Warehouse pages, checked 13 October 2026):
- Application: find a job on the careers site and apply online.
- Phone or video interview: a recruiter reviews your application and resume, and may invite you to “either a phone or video interview”.
- Hiring manager interview: “a group or one-on-one interview with a Hiring Manager”. The same step says: “At this stage you will also be invited to complete a medical assessment.”
- Outcome: ALDI says you’ll hear back “as soon as possible”.
- Offer: you log in to the candidate portal and complete onboarding, which includes “filling out some forms and uploading documents”.
- First day: your manager contacts you with the details.
ALDI says recruiters get in touch “via phone or email”, and that you can check your status in the Candidate Portal. The same FAQ says individual feedback is not possible for every application because of the volume it receives.
Our tip: while you’re applying, answer calls from numbers you don’t recognise and check your junk folder every day. A missed screening call is an easy way to drop out of the process without knowing it.
Can you apply on a visa?
This is the question we’d sort out first if you’ve just arrived in Australia.
What ALDI says: “Unfortunately, ALDI does not offer sponsorships.” and “All candidates must have full working rights to apply for ALDI Australia jobs.” ALDI also says it does not offer work experience or placement programs.
ALDI’s pages don’t explain what it counts as “full working rights”. If your visa has work conditions, such as a student visa, check your own conditions and ask the recruiter how this applies to you before you put hours into an application. We can’t give migration advice.
What should you prepare before applying?
- A resume that fits on one or two pages. Our retail resume example shows a layout you can copy.
- Your real weekly availability, written out day by day. ALDI says its stores are “open every day, including weekends and holidays”, so be clear about weekends.
- A phone number and email address you check every day.
- Two or three short, true stories that show reliability and how you learn new tasks. Our role guides have examples.
- The suburbs you can reach for an early or late shift, so you apply to stores and sites that work for you.
Our tip: each listing on ALDI’s Jobs page shows the location, the department and the type of employment. Open the full ad for the job you want and read what it says about hours, pay and shifts before you apply. If something you need to know isn’t there, ask the recruiter. We don’t repeat those details here because they change from ad to ad.
OzWorkly is an independent information site. We are not ALDI, we are not connected to ALDI, and ALDI has not reviewed this page. We can’t see vacancies before they’re published, track your application or influence hiring. Apply only through ALDI’s official careers site.
