Employees will be offered competitive pay, excellent benefits and a modern, safe and engaging work environment.
Those hired by the online retailer in full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal roles will be paid a minimum of €13.50 per hour and will also be offered a comprehensive benefits package including private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection and an employee discount as well as a company pension plan.
Amazon also provides opportunities to improve existing skills or learn new ones through internal career progression opportunities such as cross-training, transferring to a different department and promotion into a managerial role.
While the Amazon Career Choice innovative programme pre-pays 95 per cent of tuition for courses in high-demand fields, up to €12,000 over four years, regardless of whether the skills are relevant to a career at Amazon.
Tanaiste Leo Varadkar visited the new facility on Monday as he unveiled a plaque to mark the opening of the new 630,000 square foot fulfilment centre.
During his visit, the Tánaiste, who was accompanied by TD Emer Higgins, met with some of the team working at the site and followed the journey of a parcel to see first-hand what happens when a customer clicks ‘buy’ on the Amazon website.
Speaking at the centre, Mr Varadkar said: “The opening of Amazon’s first fulfilment centre in Ireland has created 500 new jobs and is a really important investment in our country.
“There are jobs available at all level, including many high-skilled jobs in engineering and IT, among others.
“This investment indicates a strong commitment to Ireland by Amazon. It was great to meet the enthusiastic team in person and to see at first-hand how orders are fulfilled for customers across the country.”
Amazon Dublin fulfilment centre General Manager Darragh Kelly said: “It was great to welcome Tánaiste Leo Varadkar for a tour of our new fulfilment centre in Dublin. It was a pleasure to introduce him to our fantastic team who process orders for customers in Ireland. I hope the Tánaiste enjoyed his visit, and I look forward to welcoming him back to our fulfilment centre in the future.”
