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.

Other Information

We connect Canadians with each other and to the rest of the world. And we do all this by providing residential and business customers with the best possible delivery experience in the country.

We like to promote from within and can offer you a career rather than a job. While, like all of our mail service couriers, you’ll start out on a temporary, on-call basis, you will have the opportunity to grow with us and obtain a permanent position … even try out new jobs in different areas of the company.

Only candidates holding a Class 1 or Class 3 driver’s license with the F endorsement will be considered (with a minimum of 24 months of driving experience in Canada/Quebec).
