Canada Post is one of Canada’s most recognized national institutions, delivering billions of items to Canadians every year — and there are currently two openings for Letter Carrier / Delivery Agents in Joliette, Quebec. If you love being outdoors, staying active, and playing a meaningful role in your community, this could be a great fit for you.

As a delivery agent, you’ll be the face of Canada Post on your route, ensuring that households and businesses receive their mail and parcels on time. The role is temporary and on-call, but it comes with real pathways to permanent employment and growth within the organization.

About the Role: Letter Carrier / Delivery Agent

Your day begins at the depot, where you’ll sort and prepare the day’s mail and packages before loading up a Canada Post postal vehicle. From there, you’ll spend the majority of your shift outdoors, delivering mail and parcels by foot or vehicle along your assigned route. At the end of the day, you return to the depot to unload incoming items for later delivery. It’s a physically active role that keeps you moving in all weather conditions.

This position is classified as Safety Sensitive, meaning additional requirements apply under Canada Post’s Substance Use Policy. You’ll be expected to uphold safe driving practices, follow established procedures, and represent the organization with professionalism on every delivery.

Benefits and Salary

This role offers a wage of $23.81 per hour. In addition to competitive pay, Canada Post provides extensive classroom and on-the-job training covering your duties and workplace safety. The organization also offers opportunities for permanent employment and the chance to advance into different areas of the company over time.
