Most of us have fond memories of our local ‘Postie’ – the friendly face on the motorbike who delivered our letters and parcels. They’ve always been an essential part of Australia Post’s mail business, and as more of our customers embrace online and digital communications, it’s a role that’s only grown more significant.

This is your chance to hop on an electric delivery vehicle yourself and help us grow our letters service in refreshingly modern directions.

Salary for this role is $50,697 plus 12% super per annum upon completion of 3 months service and 15% loading.

About the role

As one of our PDOs, you’ll start your days sorting mail – before hopping on an electric delivery vehicle provided by Australia Post, and delivering mail to customers.

To do that, you’ll need:

• A current unrestricted motorcycle licence or car license relevant to your state of residence (a provisional licence will also be considered)
• Access to a car to drive to outstations
• To successfully pass our riding skills assessment
• To be fit enough to lift up to 16kg of mail repeatedly each day
• Meet our safe working load limit (so you’ll need to weigh 120kg or less when fully clothed)

What are we looking for?

• A friendly, reliable and considerate personality – with a real knack for communicating and interacting with others (after all, you’ll be constantly talking with our customers)
• Someone who enjoys early morning starts, and can be counted on to deliver mail to where it needs to go
• A commitment to Australia Post’s Occupational Health and Safety standards
• The flexibility to stay until the job’s done if need be – and a real desire to help the team.
