Postal Service hiring assistant carriers throughout Utah

The U.S. Postal Service plans to hire approximately 200 city carrier assistant to deliver mail at post offices in Utah.

Starting pay for the non-career positions begins at $15 an hour. Benefits include vacation days, salary increases and the eventual opportunity to enroll in a health benefit plan. The position may also lead to possible future employment as a full-time city carrier with career status.

Appoints are for 360 consecutive days and applicants must be able to work a flexible schedule Monday through Saturday. The number of hours worked will depend upon mail volume.

Current openings are now being posted and those who would like to apply for a position must do so online at the Postal Service’s website.

All applicants must be at least age 18 at the time of hire and be a U.S. citizen or have permanent alien status. Carrier positions require a valid driver’s license and a minimum of two years documented driving experience. Salt Lake Tribune
