About the role

You’ll start your day for an hour or so in the local delivery office, loading the mail for your route, before setting out on foot or in a provided van to complete your parcel/mail round. You’ll be given a hand-held computer device to capture customer signatures for deliveries, with each round usually taking around four hours to complete. The device will also act as your routing system, optimizing your route for efficiency.
