Aldi is set to create 45 new Dublin positions as part of its ongoing recruitment drive.
The supermarket chain previously confirmed large scale expansions plans, with 11 new Dublin stores planned over the next five years. Its Adamstown supermarket will open to the public in the coming weeks.
Additionally, its hourly rate of pay will go up in line with recommendations made for the National Living Wage. All workers will be entitled to a minimum rate of €13.85, an increase on its entry rate of €12.90 an hour.

Aldi ran a successful recruitment campaign back in November, which saw all 450 advertised roles filled. The supermarket says that a surge in customer numbers, alongside its continued store expansion, led to the creation of the new roles.
Aldi's group managing director Niall O'Connor said: "“We are pleased to announce the creation of a further 360 new jobs nationwide in addition to roles currently available across the country, as we look to continue to grow the Aldi team. We added 450 new jobs last November, and we have seen continued strong demand in the market for the unbeatable value that Aldi offers."
A new survey commissioned by Aldi Ireland revealed that over three quarters of consumers have been negatively impacted by the cost of living crisis. Half of all participants reported they were cutting back on fruit and vegetables in order to save costs.
The retailer has responded to the findings by introducing discounted items through its Aldi Savers Programme. Items such as fruit, vegetables, bread and lean meats make up a significant percentage of the goods on offer.
