Kalamazoo, MI — The Postal Service is looking for persons interested in applying for Rural Carrier Associate (RCA) and City Carrier Assistant (CCA) positions at the Kalamazoo Post Office.

For both carrier positions, potential applicants must have a valid state driver’s license, no suspensions, a safe driving record, no DUI’s and at least two years (without a break) of documented driving experience. The driving must have taken place in the U.S. or its possessions or territories or in U.S. military installations worldwide.

All applicants for both positions must successfully pass a pre-employment drug screening to meet the Postal Service’s requirement to be drug free.  Applicants must also be a U. S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident alien, or a citizen of a territory owing allegiance to the United States.

A brief description of each position follows.  More information is available when pre-employment requirements are met and interview scheduled. 

RURAL CARR ASSOC/SRV REG RTE (RCA) - RCAs must be available to work on an ‘as needed’ basis. The hours worked and days off will vary. RCA’s may be required to work any day of the week, including weekends and holidays as scheduled. This is a non-career position, which may lead to a career position depending on organizational needs.   The salary range is $16.65 per hour and paid bi-weekly.

CITY CARRIER ASSISTANTS (CCA) - CCAs may be required to work any day of the week, including weekends and holidays as scheduled. CCAs hold temporary appointments for periods not-to-exceed 360 days. Subsequent appointments after a 5 day break in service may be offered, but are not guaranteed and should not be expected because the use of CCAs is discretionary and subject to business needs. The salary range is $16.06 per hour and paid bi-weekly. This is a non-career position.

All interested applicants should go to the following website to create a profile and apply:  http://about.usps.com/careers/welcome.htm .  Application period will be  from February 1st – February 5th.
