We deliver billions of items to Canadians each year – and you can play an integral role in making this happen. As online shopping grows, we have a number of opportunities for Class 3/D professional drivers with an appropriate provincial Air Brake Endorsement to be part of our dynamic team. As a temporary, on-call Mail Service Courier, you will join a team of drivers who are available to work locally on short notice. All drivers have an equal chance of being called for work. You will use a corporate vehicle to pick up and deliver mail and load/unload postal vehicles, ultimately playing an important role in ensuring customer satisfaction.

Does this sound like you? The role of Mail Service Courier would be a great fit if you:

  • are a safe driver
  • enjoy being behind the wheel
  • like working on your own
  • can meet deadlines
  • take pride in serving your community

  • You will load and unload postal vehicles while keeping mail and Canada Post property safe and secure at all times
  • You will collect, sort and deliver mail
  • You will operate portable communications devices
  • You will perform vehicle safety checks

Job Responsibilities (continued)

  • You will complete documentation and maintain records
  • You will communicate with customers and the public
  • You will shuttle corporate delivery vehicles between parking location and loading platforms to facilitate pre-loading.

Qualifications What must you have?

  • A valid Class 3/D driver’s licence (or higher) with the appropriate provincial air brake endorsements
  • A safe driving record for at least 3 years (recent driver’s abstract or a commercial driver’s abstract dated within the last 30 days will be required)
  • The physical ability to lift mail items weighing up to 22.7 kg (50 lb)
  • The availability to work on short notice

This would help, too!

  • Experience in customer service
  • Experience as professional driver in commercial delivery
  • Experience driving a 5 ton truck or larger

In Return, We Offer

  • Competitive pay
  • On-the-job training
  • Opportunities for permanent employment
