Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Courier role involves collecting and delivering packages safely, accurately and on time, while providing professional customer service. Candidates typically need a valid driving licence, a clean driving record, good knowledge of local roads and sufficient physical fitness to handle parcels. Previous delivery, logistics or customer-facing experience is advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to follow FedEx safety and security procedures, complete delivery documentation accurately, use handheld scanning technology, manage schedules efficiently and communicate clearly with customers and colleagues. Reliability, punctuality, a professional appearance, flexibility and the ability to work independently are essential. English communication skills are generally required; knowledge of Greek or other local languages may be helpful in Cyprus.
Can I work in Cyprus?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Ordinary local-first test; food delivery is a named sector (Deputy Ministry, Sept 2026), but warehouse and driver jobs are not named.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Ask the employer whether it has hired non-EU warehouse or driver staff before.
