Thousands of new jobs are being advertise by Australia Post as the national postal service gears up for the Christmas period.
Australia Post Executive General Manager, People and Culture, Sue Davies said a nationwide recruitment drive to hire more than 3500 seasonal team members was under way, as operations ramped up for what was expected to be another record-breaking season.
Ms Davies said with demand already building in the lead-up to major cyber sales events and the holiday season, Australia Post was looking to fill roles across a range of positions.
She said forklift operators, van and truck drivers as well as parcel sorters were needed to help keep parcels moving across the delivery network and delivered quickly to customers.
“Roles are open for applications now with the highest demand in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.”
Ms Davies said seasonal team members played a vital role in ensuring a successful holiday period and timely parcel deliveries for customers nationwide.
“Last year, we delivered almost 103 million parcels in the lead up to Christmas, thanks to the help of our seasonal team members.
“Our ability to deliver parcels to customers quickly and reliably depends on the hard work and commitment of every individual we bring on board,” she said.
“We’re particularly interested in hearing from people with a valid forklift or truck licence, as well as those interested in roles across parcel processing and deliveries – many of which require no previous experience.”
She said opportunities could be explored on the Australia Post website.
