Rural and Suburban Mail Carrier, On-call Relief – Canada Post – Huntsville, ON

Canada Post is looking for a reliable, road-ready individual to join their team in Huntsville, Ontario as an On-call Relief Rural and Suburban Mail Carrier.

This is a temporary, on-call position where you’ll be out on the road delivering mail and parcels to rural and suburban communities in the Huntsville area. It’s a role that offers real autonomy and a chance to build your driving record within one of Canada’s most recognized organizations — with the added bonus of being eligible to apply for upcoming permanent Rural and Suburban Mail Carrier positions.

About the Role: Rural and Suburban Mail Carrier

Day-to-day, you’ll be responsible for sorting, collecting, and delivering mail items efficiently and safely across your assigned routes.

You’ll also process various Canada Post products and services, including Change of Address Notifications, Damaged Mail reports, and Items Delivered Bills (IDB).

On the job, you’ll be representing Canada Post directly in the community — wearing your Canada Post identification visibly at all times, maintaining your vehicle to specific requirements, and following all safety protocols. The role involves lifting and carrying items up to 50 lbs (22.7 kg), so physical readiness is part of the job. Safety and reliability are at the core of what this position is all about.
