This is an on-call, term position that serves the community across several nearby locations including St-Liboire, St-Simon de Bagot, and St-Théodore d’Acton. If you enjoy working with the public and thrive in a fast-paced retail service environment, this role could be a solid fit.

Day-to-day, you’ll be the friendly face at the counter — helping customers with postal products and services, processing mail, and solving delivery issues as they come up. It’s hands-on work that calls for someone who’s both customer-focused and physically capable, with a flexible schedule to match on-call availability.

You’ll also help resolve delivery and service issues promptly and thoroughly — keeping customer satisfaction front of mind.

Working within a Canada Post retail environment means adhering to established procedures around cash handling, accounting systems, and postal operations. The role also requires a degree of physical fitness — you’ll be lifting mail containers of up to 50 lbs, pushing and pulling boxes, sorting mail, and standing for extended periods. French language proficiency is essential for this position given the community it serves.
