If you want to work at Lidl, use the Lidl Empleo España careers website to view vacancies and apply for a specific role. The company lists opportunities in stores, logistics centres and offices, so it is worth filtering by area and city before preparing your CV.
This guide explains how to apply, what kinds of roles you may find, and what information to check about working hours, shifts and requirements. Vacancies vary by location and recruitment campaign.
How to apply for a job: Lidl says it publishes its vacancies on empleo.lidl.es. If you find an advert reproduced on another website, check that it relates to a genuine vacancy and that you can apply through an official channel.
How to Submit Your CV to Lidl
The first step is to visit Lidl’s official careers website. Requirements and application procedures vary by role; do not rely on screenshots of adverts or old forms instead of the current vacancy listing.
- Visit the official careers website and find the area that matches your profile.
- Check the vacancy requirements and location before applying.
- Tailor your CV to the duties actually listed, without claiming experience you do not have.
- Complete the application according to the employer’s instructions and attach any requested files.
- Keep the application confirmation and check for any follow-up notifications through official channels.
Before applying, read our guide to writing a CV. Avoid sharing bank details, login credentials or sensitive documents unless they are justified at the initial stage of the process.
Official Careers Website and Vacancy Search
Vacancy search: Lidl jobs and applications. Always check the official source to confirm whether the vacancy is still open, where it is based and how to apply.
Kurriku is an independent information guide. It does not represent Lidl, manage its recruitment or accept CVs on its behalf. Official adverts and recruitment announcements take precedence over any general guidance on this page.
What Jobs Does Lidl Offer?
The roles and requirements vary across Lidl’s professional areas. Below are examples of roles related to its operations or listed on the channels consulted; this does not mean they are all currently open:
- Store staff: shelf replenishment, checkout, customer service and other supermarket duties, depending on the role.
- Assistant store manager or store manager: organising the team and managing the store’s operations.
- Order preparation and logistics: receiving, handling and moving goods at logistics centres.
- Administration and offices: finance, purchasing, IT, logistics, Human Resources and other departments.
- Area managers: supervising and managing several stores, with experience requirements depending on the vacancy.
Requirements for Working at Lidl
Requirements depend on the location and role. Before applying, check the following to avoid submitting an ineligible application:
- Check the town and store listed in the vacancy, especially if there are several nearby stores.
- Check the working hours, shifts, weekends and availability required.
- For store roles, highlight relevant customer service, checkout or shelf replenishment experience in your CV.
- Include education and management experience when these are requested for management roles.
- Provide evidence of technical knowledge and relevant qualifications for specialist logistics roles, if required.
Do not assume that a requirement for a technical or management role, or for a previous vacancy, applies across the whole company. The official information for each recruitment process is the authoritative source.
Can You Work at Lidl with No Experience?
Lidl advertises roles at different levels. Some operational jobs may offer a first work experience, while management roles require specific skills or experience. Whether you can apply with no experience always depends on the details of the vacancy.
If you have not yet had a job, it may help to include your education, work placements, volunteering, languages and projects that demonstrate relevant skills. Give each section prominence according to the job description.
Jobs in Lidl Stores and Supermarkets
Supermarket duties vary and may include shelf replenishment, checkout work, customer service and organising goods. Before applying, check whether the vacancy is for a multi-skilled role, a management role or another position, and what shifts are required.
Lidl says its stores operate a five-day working week and use systems to record working hours. Check the advert and contract for the specific conditions of the role.
Logistics Centres: Shifts and Roles
The company offers opportunities at logistics centres, where the work differs from store-based retail roles. Adverts may require physical activity, operating equipment or working specific shifts; check the vacancy details rather than making assumptions.
In your application, describe your experience with warehouses, order preparation, handling goods and health and safety only if you have it. If you are looking for specific hours, filter the vacancies before applying.
Office Roles, Training and Internal Career Progression
Lidl highlights career opportunities across different departments and says that a large proportion of its managers have progressed internally. It also provides information about training programmes for its teams.
If you are looking for a corporate role, tailor your CV to the technical or management position rather than writing it as if you were applying for a checkout job. Language, qualification and software requirements vary considerably.
Salary and Working Conditions at Lidl
Lidl has a wide range of job categories and working hours, so it would be misleading to give a single salary figure. Pay depends on the role, collective agreement, working hours and any additional payments. Its careers website describes employee benefits and development opportunities, but check the vacancy or ask during the recruitment process for the specific figure.
Also compare working hours, commute, shifts, work arrangements, training and any conditions that affect day-to-day life. A figure from another company or an unofficial website is not enough to assess a specific offer.
How to Prepare Your CV for Lidl
It is not advisable to use exactly the same cover letter and professional profile for every role. To make your application clearer, consider the following:
- Use the portal filters to choose a store, logistics centre or office.
- Check the working hours and your availability before applying.
- Summarise your experience in retail, logistics or management according to the role.
- Avoid making promises about shifts you will not be able to work.
- Keep the confirmation message and check the portal for new vacancies.
If the application allows you to attach additional text, prepare a brief cover letter explaining which role you are looking for and what relevant skills you can offer. Avoid repeating every line of your CV.
