What will you do?

A job with more freedom than a mail deliverer? Doesn't exist. As a mail deliverer on a scooter, you work independently and decide your own working hours every day. From a birthday card to an important letter, you deliver it all for PostNL in an area you know inside out.

This is what your workday looks like:

  • You start by collecting the mail at the depot near you. The mail is ready and you only need to put it in your bags: everything is already sorted by street and house number.
  • What time you pick up the mail? You decide, as long as it is before 15:00.
  • Then you ride your round on a PostNL scooter, at times that suit you best, as long as all mail is in the mailboxes by 18:00 at the latest.

Extra fun as a mail deliverer: You work independently, but never feel alone. You quickly become a familiar face in the neighborhood and build nice contacts with residents and colleagues. And because you are active, you work on your fitness without even noticing!

What do you bring?

  • Anyone from 16 years old can become a mail deliverer.
  • You are aware that you are the face of PostNL, work accurately, and are customer-oriented.
  • You have a valid (scooter) driver's license.
  • You are available for at least 7 months.
  • You are fit enough to ride for a few hours and lift mailbags of up to 23 kg.
  • You speak good Dutch or English to communicate with colleagues and supervisors.
  • You have a smartphone to use during work.
  • You are flexible to ride in different neighborhoods, as you do not always have a fixed route.
  • You will need a Certificate of Conduct (VOG), which will be fully reimbursed.

What we deliver to you:

  • A varied job that you can fully coordinate with your private life.
  • A PostNL scooter to use for work.
  • A contract for 7 months, with the possibility of extension.
  • 8% holiday allowance paid monthly on top of your salary.
  • Four weeks of vacation per year.
  • Pension build-up (from 18 years).
  • Option to work more hours in consultation, with overtime paid out or taken as time off.
  • An allowance of up to €26.20 per month for smartphone use, expenses, and bicycle maintenance (depending on hours worked).
  • An annual performance-related bonus of up to 3% of your annual salary, depending on PostNL's business results.
  • Online training courses via our digital learning environment.
  • Discounts on health insurance, holidays, outings, and products.
  • A team of committed and friendly colleagues.

Good to know before applying

Groningen is a bustling student city where navigating by scooter is highly efficient. Delivering mail for PostNL allows you to get to know the city's diverse neighborhoods, from the vibrant center to quieter residential areas. Since you can pick up your mail anytime before 15:00 and must finish by 18:00, this role fits perfectly around lectures at the University of Groningen or Hanze UAS. Ensure you have a valid scooter license and are prepared to obtain a VOG, which PostNL fully reimburses.
