LIHU’E – The U.S. Postal Service is hosting a two-day job fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday, February 25-26, at the USPS Carrier Annex adjacent to Lihu Airport e.
USPS officials hope to hire 20 new employees to fill rural carrier associate and assistant rural carrier positions on the island.
The positions, which offer $19.06 an hour as a starting wage, will be located at post offices in Kalaheo, Kapa’a, Kilauea, Koloa and Lihu’e.
During career fairs, potential employees will receive brief tours of the USPS Carrier Annex back office operations to familiarize them with job requirements.
Associated rural carriers drop off, deliver, and collect mail along a prescribed rural route using a vehicle, and provide customers on the route with a variety of services.
Auxiliary rural carriers deliver parcels on Sundays and public holidays.
They can also pack, deliver and collect mail and parcels on Saturdays.
“This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a fast-paced, rewarding work environment with good pay,” said Naupaka Hanchett, USPS Workforce Planning Specialist.
“As outlined in our USPS Delivering for America plan, we are continually modernizing and adapting to the changing needs of our customers. To do this, we need motivated and dedicated people who join us in serving our local communities and our nation,” she said.
Interested applicants should register in advance, by emailing [email protected] or by calling 808-423-6071.
Candidates without an appointment will be accepted depending on the places available.
Those unable to attend career fairs can apply online at usps.com/careers.
Appropriate footwear – shoes that are fully enclosed at the heels, toes, and sides, made of leather or substantial synthetic material – should be worn when participating in work tours.
