The position is being offered on a fixed-term full-time basis for a period of three months, giving job seekers a chance to work with one of Australia’s largest logistics and postal service providers.
The recruitment drive comes as parcel and mail handling demand continues to grow across Australia. According to the official job notification, selected candidates will support daily mail processing operations and help prepare parcels and letters for next-day delivery services.
Role Focused on Mail and Parcel Processing
Employees hired for the Parcel Sorter role will be responsible for sorting standard letters, large envelopes, small parcels, and Express Post items. The company stated that workers may also need to manually process articles that cannot be sorted through automated machinery.
The role includes loading and unloading mail bags, trays, containers, and metal cages used inside the processing facility. Candidates may also work alongside operational teams while handling pallet devices and stackers within the warehouse environment.
Australia Post noted that the role is physically active and requires workers to regularly lift parcels weighing up to 16 kilograms.
