Online shopping boom creates need for more permanent staff.

 

Fresh from a drive to recruit new team members across its network, Australia Post is putting out another call for more staff ahead of its busiest Christmas ever.

 

Australia Post now has 1600 additional permanent and fixed term jobs around the country that need filling, together with some 3300 Christmas casual roles still available, as it continues to strengthen processing and delivering capacity to meet the record surge in online shopping.

 

With vacancies in every state and territory, Australia Post is on the lookout for people to join their teams across parcel and mail processing, van and truck drivers, motorcycle and EDV posties, forklift operators, and in customer service roles.

 

With more than two million parcels being delivered every day, Sue Davies, Australia Post general manager - people and culture, said: “At the moment, every day feels like Christmas at Australia Post and we’re on the lookout for people to join us and help deliver and process record volumes across the country.”
