Deliver for the Nation's Most Trusted Agency

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an essential part of the American infrastructure, processing and delivering nearly half of the world's mail. We are actively seeking dedicated, community-oriented individuals to join our ranks as a City Carrier Assistant (CCA). This is the premier entry-point into a lifelong career with the Postal Service. As a CCA, you are the highly visible face of the USPS in urban and suburban neighborhoods. You will deliver letters, packages, and priority mail on a dynamic schedule, braving all weather conditions to ensure the mail never stops. This role offers an incredible pathway to career status, robust union representation, and the pride of serving your local community every single day.

Operational Responsibilities & Daily Execution

Your day begins early at the local Post Office branch. Before hitting the streets, you will spend time 'casing' your mail—sorting letters and flats into delivery sequence. Your core duties include:

• Neighborhood Route Execution: Navigate a densely packed urban or suburban route. You will execute a mix of "park and loop" (walking block to block with a satchel) and mounted delivery (delivering directly from the vehicle to curbside mailboxes).
• Postal Vehicle Operation: Safely pilot the iconic right-hand-drive Long Life Vehicle (LLV) or the newer Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV). You must master right-side driving and strict postal safety protocols in heavy city traffic.
• Accountable Mail Management: Utilize specialized scanning devices to track certified mail, registered parcels, and international packages, capturing required customer signatures at the door.
• Extreme Weather Endurance: The mail must go out regardless of the forecast. You must possess the physical and mental grit to walk several miles a day carrying a 35-pound satchel in rain, sleet, snow, or extreme summer heat.

Why Build a Career with USPS?

The CCA position is a non-career role that serves as the direct pipeline to becoming a Career City Carrier, unlocking elite federal benefits:

• Pathway to Career Status: CCAs are highly prioritized for conversion to career status, which immediately unlocks the prestigious Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) pension and Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).
• Competitive Base Pay & Overtime: Enjoy highly competitive hourly wages with massive opportunities for penalty overtime during the peak holiday mailing seasons.
• Union Protections: This position is proudly represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), providing structured wage increases, grievance processes, and job security.

Requirements & Qualifications

Candidates must be at least 18 years old (or 16 with a high school diploma). You must possess a valid U.S. driver's license with a safe driving record spanning at least two continuous years. Exceptional physical stamina is an absolute requirement; you must be capable of lifting up to 70 pounds, walking several miles daily, and standing for prolonged periods. A comprehensive federal background check, medical assessment, and drug screening are mandatory.
