Regional Real Estate Assistant - Construction Administration Team

at  ALDI

As part of a busy, fast-paced department, you’ll help us keep things running like clockwork.
The scale of the Real Estate projects we’re undertaking is huge. And that’s why we need a team of organised, efficient and astute administrators. You’ll log requests for funds and invoices, produce site details and manage diaries. Plus, you’ll control all service charges, lease and rent information. In short, you’ll make sure our t’s are crossed and our i’s dotted. It’s no mean feat, but it’s rewarding.
We do things our own way at Aldi. But whatever we’re doing, we must be getting it right. With a wave of impressive sales figures behind us, we’re opening new stores at lightning speed. It means our Real Estate teams are always kept on their toes.
