Have you got what it takes? 

As an ALDI Store Permanent Shift Manager (also known as Duty Manager) you need to be able to juggle multiple things at once, motivate others and keep calm under pressure. You'll be hands on in your approach and enjoy physical work - this is not an office based management role. Previous management or supervisory experience in a fast paced environment is a plus, however, possessing a strong work ethic and hands-on attitude is an absolute must. Furthermore, no two days are the same at ALDI, so you'll need to be comfortable with change and dynamic enough to deal with any challenge
