If you want to work at DIA supermarkets, it is best to check the official recruitment channels before preparing and submitting your CV. Vacancies vary by location, specialism and time of year; an information guide does not replace the requirements for each recruitment notice.
DIA has a dedicated careers website for its company-owned stores, logistics centres and offices. When looking for work, it is worth distinguishing between a vacancy at a supermarket, a logistics centre or a corporate department.
Application channel: Visit the official DIA supermarkets careers website. Check current vacancies and conditions there. Kurriku does not manage recruitment or receive CVs on behalf of DIA supermarkets.

DIA advertising opportunities in a city does not mean that every store in that area has vacancies. Do not treat an old recruitment announcement as proof that the same vacancy is still open.
What jobs can you find?
There are various roles that may be relevant in the food retail sector. The examples below can help guide your search, but they are not a list of current vacancies.
Checkout and shelf replenishment
In-store roles may involve working on the checkout, replenishing shelves, serving customers and keeping the sales area organised. Working hours, location and possible shifts are set out in each job advert.
Specialist departments and warehouse
Roles are available in areas such as butchery, fishmongery and warehousing, as well as in logistics operations. Some jobs require specific training or experience, while others may offer initial training.
Office and head-office roles
DIA also has roles in technology, procurement, finance, sales and people management. The selection criteria differ from those for operational roles.
Requirements for working at Supermercados DIA
There are no universal requirements. They depend on the role, location and assigned responsibilities. To assess whether your application is a good fit, check the following in particular:
- Customer-focused approach and respectful communication
- Availability to match the working hours and store
- Experience in checkout work, shelf replenishment or fresh food, where relevant
- Knowledge of logistics and inventory for warehouse roles
- Ability to follow procedures and coordinate tasks
If the vacancy requires a specific qualification or certification, do not replace it with a general description of your experience. When junior applicants are accepted, describe relevant work placements, training and projects that demonstrate your abilities.
Can you work at Supermercados DIA without experience?
There is no single answer for the whole company. Some roles may be open to people still in training or with limited experience, while others require technical qualifications, licences, language skills or years of practice. The reliable answer is the one stated in the specific job advert.
If you are just starting out, focus on vacancies where the required level matches your background. An honest CV can include work placements, education, volunteering and personal projects when relevant.
Tips for preparing a stronger application
Do not confuse working in a DIA-owned store with running a franchise under the brand. Its website also has information for franchisees, but this is not the same as being employed by a store. If you are looking for paid employment, use the vacancies section.
Before applying, highlight the responsibilities that match your experience and write specific examples of how you have carried them out. If there are skills you do not have, do not claim them: it is better to explain what you know and what you are willing to learn.
If the system allows you to add supporting documents, prepare a brief, tailored cover letter. It should explain your genuine interest rather than repeat your CV word for word.
How to prepare for an interview
For a store role, it is useful to explain how you would handle a return, replenish shelves or manage a queue of customers. For logistics roles, give examples of how you work safely, stay organised and keep track of inventory.
It also helps to review the job description, confirm the location and prepare a brief explanation of why you are interested in the role. Avoid promising availability you cannot maintain, especially if the job involves shifts or travel.
Pay, hours and working conditions
There is no single salary that applies to everyone working at Supermercados DIA. Pay may depend on the role, the applicable collective bargaining agreement, contracted hours, location, experience and additional payments. If a job advert does not state a salary, confirm the pay details during the recruitment process.
Also check the type and duration of the contract, shifts, remote working where applicable, travel, benefits and training. Do not assume that conditions for one role will apply to another based on comments about a different department or old vacancies.
Mistakes to avoid when submitting your CV
- Applying for a vacancy without reading its requirements or checking its location.
- Sending the same CV for very different roles.
- Leaving out an important qualification you actually hold.
- Trusting supposed recruiters who charge a fee to register your application.
- Assuming you have been hired just because your CV has been received.
- Including personal documents in an email or form when they have not been requested.
