Job Description
Canada Post is an exciting place to work! And you can be part of it!
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
Job Responsibilities
What will you do?
• 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
