Key Responsibilities
As a Delivery Driver with SHIPCART DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, your primary responsibilities will include safely and efficiently delivering parcels, packages, and other items to various destinations throughout Nanaimo. You will operate company automobiles, vans, and light trucks to pick up and deliver various items and products, ensuring that all deliveries are made according to schedule and in perfect condition.
You will be expected to demonstrate professionalism in all customer interactions, maintaining a courteous and helpful attitude when dealing with clients and recipients. This includes accepting payments or invoices for delivered items and providing accurate information about delivery services. Your strong customer service skills will contribute to the positive reputation of our company.
Record-keeping is an essential aspect of this role. You will need to maintain accurate records of items received and delivered, including trip information such as vehicle mileage, fuel costs, and any problems encountered during delivery routes. This documentation is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and resolving any potential issues with deliveries.
Packaging and preparation of goods for delivery is another important responsibility. You will be responsible for properly preparing, packaging, and restocking goods to ensure they are protected during transit. This includes sorting packages for delivery according to destination and delivery priority, as well as loading and unloading goods safely and efficiently.
You will be required to transport and handle dangerous goods according to all relevant safety regulations and company procedures.

Your commitment to safety will help ensure the well-being of yourself, your colleagues, and the general public.
Navigation and route planning are key components of this position. You must be able to follow directions, read maps effectively, and use various trip planning aids to optimize delivery routes.

Vehicle maintenance and inspection are critical responsibilities that you will perform regularly.

Physical stamina is required for this role, as it involves loading and unloading packages, sometimes weighing up to 50 pounds. You should be able to stand, walk, and move throughout the workday while maintaining focus and energy. Good hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity are also necessary for handling packages and operating vehicle controls safely.
Computer literacy and basic technical skills are increasingly important in modern delivery operations. You should be comfortable using electronic devices for navigation, communication, and basic record-keeping. Familiarity with delivery tracking systems and mobile applications would be beneficial but is not required, as training will be provided.

This is a full-time, permanent position with flexible scheduling that includes early morning, morning, day, and evening shifts. The specific schedule will be determined based on operational needs and may include some weekend work. Your schedule will be communicated in advance, allowing for proper work-life balance and personal planning.
