Zusteller*in (w/m/d) — Austrian Post, Vienna (1210) Full Time

If you’ve been thinking about getting back to a job that gets you outdoors, on foot and behind the wheel, this Austrian Post delivery role in Vienna’s 1210 district is a practical option to look at. The pay is openly stated — around €2,400 gross per month including travel allowances — and the role itself is genuinely entry-level: no previous delivery experience is required, and career-changers are explicitly invited to apply. What’s not on the posting is any visa or work-permit support, so this is a fit if you already have the right to work in Austria.

Quick Job Overview

About the Employer

Österreichische Post AG is Austria’s national postal-service provider. The company delivers letters, parcels and advertising mail, runs the post-office branch network across Austria, and also operates parcel-logistics businesses in several Central and Eastern European markets. It is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and its headquarters are at Rochusplatz 1, 1030 Wien.

For an applicant considering this role, the practical takeaway is that Austrian Post is a large, regulated employer with proper HR processes and an official careers portal of its own. You would be applying directly on the employer’s sub-domain (karriere.post.at), not through a recruiter or aggregator, and the posting carries a real job reference number you can quote when you follow up.

What This Role Involves

As a Zusteller*in in the 1210 district (Donaustadt, on the eastern side of the Danube), your day is built around one delivery route. The work is genuinely field-based — you’re out on the streets for most of the shift.

The main duties, in plain terms, are:

• Sorting the morning’s incoming letters and parcels for your assigned district so the route runs in a sensible order.
• Delivering letters, parcels and unaddressed advertising mail to households and businesses along the route.
• Handling small admin tasks such as reconciling cash-on-delivery (Nachnahme) payments where a recipient owes money for a parcel.

The work is on-site — there is no remote or hybrid element. You’ll move between the local sorting point and your route on foot and by vehicle, and you’re the public face of Austrian Post for the people on your street. That’s worth saying plainly: if you don’t enjoy customer contact, this isn’t the role for you.

Required Skills and Qualifications

Austrian Post keeps the entry bar straightforward. The hard requirements are:

• A Class B car driving licence (B-Führerschein) — required for the delivery vehicle.
• Compulsory school leaving certificate (Pflichtschulabschluss).
• Good German — you’ll be dealing with recipients, neighbours and post-office colleagues daily.
• Reliable, self-directed working style and a genuine enjoyment of customer contact.

You don’t need prior delivery experience. The posting explicitly invites Quereinsteiger*innen (career-changers) — people moving across from sales, retail, hospitality, warehouse work or parcel-courier roles. If that’s you, the employer is open to your application.

Pay, Benefits, and Relocation Support

Austrian Post states the pay openly: approximately €2,400 gross per month, including travel allowances (Reisespesen). The figure is an average — actual pay depends on the specific collective-agreement classification and the allowances you accrue on your route. As a rough orientation, that’s a realistic starting point for a postal delivery role in Vienna under the relevant collective agreement.

Beyond the headline pay, the posting mentions several benefits available to Austrian Post employees:

• Tax-free meal vouchers worth roughly €400 per year.
• A free bank account with bank99 (Austrian Post’s banking subsidiary).
• Child subsidies and holiday discounts.
• Health-promotion offerings and employee purchasing perks.

Relocation support is not specified on the posting. If you are based outside Vienna or outside Austria, do not assume any assistance with moving costs — confirm directly with Austrian Post before applying if this matters to you.

Work Permit and Visa Note

This is the single most important clarification on this page: the posting does not mention visa sponsorship, Rot-Weiß-Rot Card support, or any work-permit assistance. The wording on the employer’s page is silent on this point, and silence is not the same as a yes.

That means:

• If you are an Austrian or EU/EEA citizen, or you already hold a valid Austrian residence and work permit, you can apply.
• If you are outside the EU/EEA and would need the employer to sponsor a visa or work permit for you, this role is unlikely to be a fit — Austrian Post has not stated any such support for this position.

We are not stating that Austrian Post sponsors visas in general — only that for this specific posting, no visa support is mentioned. If you need visa sponsorship for Austria, please look at other roles on JobsRivo where the employer has explicitly stated it.

Who This Role May Suit

This role is a reasonable fit if you:

• Already live in Vienna, particularly in or near the 1210 Donaustadt district, or you have the right to work in Austria and are willing to relocate at your own expense.
• Hold a Class B driving licence.
• Speak good German — enough to handle recipient conversations and small admin tasks comfortably.
• Enjoy being outdoors and on the move rather than at a desk.
• Are a career-changer from retail, hospitality, warehouse or courier work and want a stable employer.

It is not a fit if you are outside the EU/EEA and need an employer to sponsor a visa or work permit. For that situation, look for roles where the employer has explicitly stated visa support.

How to Apply Officially

Apply only through Austrian Post’s official careers site. The direct posting link is:

Austrian Post — Zusteller*in (w/m/d) 1210 Wien (Reference 1266489301)

The application form is hosted on the same employer sub-domain. Because no closing date is stated, we recommend applying as soon as you are ready — Austrian Post postings can be taken down once a suitable candidate is found, and the system does not always warn you in advance.

Required Documents

The posting itself does not itemise every document, but standard Austrian Post application practice and the requirements above mean you should have ready:

• A current CV (Lebenslauf) in German, with your most recent roles and dates.
• Evidence of your Class B driving licence (B-Führerschein).
• Proof of your compulsory school leaving certificate (Pflichtschulabschluss) or equivalent.
• Proof of your right to work in Austria — Austrian/EU/EEA passport, residence card, or valid Austrian work permit.
• A short cover note in German explaining why you’re applying and confirming your availability in the 1210 area.

If you are missing any of these — particularly the work-right proof — don’t apply yet. Resolve that first.
