Job description

Fort McMurray keeps moving — and so does this role. Canada Post is hiring a Letter Carrier – Delivery Agent on a temporary, on-call basis to serve residents and businesses right across the city. If you're someone who thrives outdoors, stays active throughout the day, and takes pride in connecting people with their mail and parcels, this could be a great fit.

As the face of Canada Post in your community, you'll play a hands‑on role in one of Canada's most essential services — delivering billions of items each year to homes and businesses. You'll be out on the road and on foot, making real connections with the people you serve, rain or shine.

About the Role: Letter Carrier – Delivery Agent

Each day starts at the depot, where you'll sort and prepare deliveries before loading up a Canada Post postal vehicle and heading out on your assigned route. You'll spend the bulk of your shift outdoors — delivering mail and packages by foot and by vehicle — before returning to the depot to unload incoming items for the next round of deliveries.

This is a physical, active role that requires comfort working in all weather conditions throughout Alberta's seasons. Safety is a core part of the job — from safe driving practices to proper lifting technique — and Canada Post provides thorough training to set you up for success from day one.
