• Loading procedures for products including transport weight limits and loading distribution principles
• How to select, prepare, and use packaging materials to reduce waste

Plus so much more!

Application Process

• Online application: This is your chance to shine! Make sure you answer all the questions and provide as much information as possible. Once you’ve submitted your application, our recruitment team will review your answers. If you’re successful at this stage, you’ll progress to the next stage of the process.
• Individual or group assessment: You’ll complete an assessment or interview at your local Reginal Dustribution Centre.  You’ll be asked some questions about yourself and the role you’re applying for – some of which might be based on a scenario. If you’re successful at this stage, you’ll progress to the final stage of the process.
• Aldi store experience: Following a successful interview, you’ll be invited to spend some time in the warehouse so you can see first-hand the types of tasks you’d be expected to complete. Feel free to ask any questions you might have as we want to make sure the role is the right fit for you and us. If everything goes well, you’ll be offered a job as an apprentice!
