Postal Clerk – Retail and Operations – Canada Post – Edson, AB

Canada Post is looking for a Postal Clerk – Retail and Operations to join their team in Edson, Alberta. This is a temporary, on-call position that blends front-line customer service with hands-on mail operations — a solid foot in the door with one of Canada’s most recognized employers. If you’re adaptable, reliable, and ready to roll up your sleeves across a variety of shifts, this role is worth a close look.

Day to day, you’ll be splitting your time between retail counter service and mail processing operations, depending on where you’re needed. That means handling financial transactions, sorting mail, assisting customers, and operating processing equipment — all within a fast-moving environment where no two shifts are exactly the same.
