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 be a big part of making this happen. As a temporary, on-call delivery agent (also known as a letter carrier), you’ll be the face of Canada Post in your community and make sure customers and businesses get the mail and parcels they’re waiting for.

Does this sound like you? The role of delivery agent would be a great fit if you:

enjoy being outside and active year-round
want to work for a great national company
would be proud to serve your fellow Canadians

Job Responsibilities

What will you do?

You’ll start your day in the depot, sorting and preparing the day’s deliveries
You’ll load and drive a Canada Post postal vehicle

Job Responsibilities (continued)

You’ll then spend most of your day outside, delivering mail and packages by foot or by vehicle to customers on your route
You’ll return to the depot to unload the day’s incoming mail and packages for later delivery

Qualifications

What must you have?

A valid Class 5 or Class G driver’s licence with a safe driving record for at least 3 years (driver's abstract required)
The physical ability to lift mail items weighing up to 22.7 kg (50 lb) and carry items weighing up to 15.9 kg (35 lb) regularly throughout the day
The ability to work in all types of weather
The availability to be on-call and work in all of CBRM
The ability to read, write and speak English and/or French

These help, too!

Experience in customer service
Experience making deliveries or working as a driver
Ability to walk an average of 15-25 kms a day

In return, we offer:

Competitive pay
Extensive classroom and on-the-job training about your duties and safety on the job
