Courier

Job Description

The Courier is responsible for collecting and delivering parcels safely and on time, completing delivery records, handling shipment documentation, and providing professional customer service. Candidates generally need a valid Australian driver’s licence, a safe driving history, good communication skills, and the ability to pass employment, background, and driving checks. The role requires physical fitness to load and unload packages, attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to work independently while following FedEx procedures. Flexibility to work varied schedules, including early starts or occasional weekends, may be expected. Previous courier, delivery, transport, or customer-service experience is helpful, although suitable applicants may receive training.
