On-Call Van Driver — Posten Bring, Trondheim (Norway, 2026) Part Time

If you are based in or near Trondheim and hold a clean Class B licence with a few years behind the wheel, this on-call van driver role at Posten Bring’s Tiller branch is worth a serious look. It is a part-time, on-call position with Norway’s national postal and logistics group — and the application goes straight through Posten Bring’s own careers portal.

Quick job overview

About Posten Bring

Posten Bring AS is Norway’s national postal and logistics group, tracing its roots back to 1647 when Postvesenet was established — making it one of Norway’s oldest continuously operating institutions. Today the group employs roughly 12,600 people across the Nordics and operates two consumer-facing brands: Posten (the postal service in Norway) and Bring (the logistics arm serving businesses across the Nordics).

Posten Bring Varebil AS is the subsidiary that handles van-based parcel and goods delivery — distinct from the heavier truck-based operations. It runs a fleet of around 100 vans and forms part of the wider Bildrift business area, which employs about 1,350 drivers across Norway. If you have ever received a large parcel, a fridge, or a piece of flat-pack furniture delivered to your door in Norway, there is a fair chance it came off a Posten Bring Varebil route.

The group is wholly owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications through Norway Post AS, and it is one of the larger employers of professional drivers in the country — which is useful context if you are thinking about this as a longer-term career rather than a one-off gig.

What this role involves

This is an on-call (tilkalling) van driver position based out of Posten Bring’s Tiller branch in Trondheim. “On-call” in the Norwegian labour market typically means you are not guaranteed a fixed weekly schedule — you are called in when the branch needs cover, often for shifts that open up due to leave, peak volumes, or unexpected absence. It is a common starting route into a permanent contract at Norwegian logistics employers.

Your day-to-day work would include:

• Driving local delivery routes in and around Trondheim, delivering parcels to both businesses and private households
• Delivery of larger items such as white goods (fridges, washing machines) and furniture — this is physically demanding work involving lifting and carrying
• Loading your van at the terminal in the morning and planning your route efficiently
• Daily contact with customers, the dispatch office (kjørekontor), and the terminal team
• Keeping the van clean and road-ready, including routine pre-trip checks and minor maintenance
• Representing Posten Bring professionally at the customer’s door — the role is as much customer service as it is driving

The local-only nature of the routes means you sleep in your own bed every night. There is no overnight long-haul, and the territory is the Trondheim urban area and its surroundings.

Required skills and qualifications

Posten Bring lists the following as essential for this position:

• A valid Norwegian Class B driver licence (førerkort klasse B — covers light vehicles up to 3,500 kg, which is what most delivery vans are)
• At least five years of driving experience
• A clean police certificate (politiattest) — this will be requested as part of the hiring process
• Strong Norwegian language skills, both spoken and written — you will be interacting with Norwegian customers and dispatch daily
• Good physical condition, as the role involves repeated lifting of heavy items like fridges and treadmills
• A safe, responsible driving style

The listing also describes the kind of person Posten Bring is looking for:

• Self-driven and comfortable working independently on the road
• Service-minded and solution-oriented when something goes wrong on a route
• Genuine interest in doing the job well and leaving customers satisfied

There is no explicit requirement for a forklift certificate, ADR (dangerous goods), or a YSK (Driver Qualification Card) in this listing — those tend to apply to the heavier Class C/CE truck roles, not Class B van delivery.

Salary, benefits, and relocation support

The job posting does not state a specific hourly rate or monthly salary, so per JobsRivo’s policy we record that as not specified by the employer. We do not estimate pay from market averages, forum posts, or third-party aggregators.

What the listing does confirm about compensation and benefits:

• Permanent contract (fast ansettelse) with a fixed salary — even though the role is on-call, the employment relationship itself is permanent under Norwegian labour law
• Overtime pay (overtidsbetaling) at statutory Norwegian rates
• Inconvenience supplement (ubekvemstillegg) for unsociable hours
• On-the-job training and ongoing follow-up
• Career progression pathways within Posten Bring’s wider Bildrift organisation
• Pension scheme (pensjonsordning)
• Insurance arrangements (forsikringsordninger)

Relocation support is not mentioned in the listing. If you are not already based in or near Trondheim, you would need to clarify this with Posten Bring’s recruitment team before applying.

Work permit / visa note

Be clear about this: the listing does not mention visa sponsorship, work permit support, or relocation assistance. The role explicitly requires Norwegian language proficiency, which in practice means it is aimed at applicants already resident in Norway or Norwegian speakers from other Nordic countries who do not need a work permit.

For context only (not as a promise for this job): Norway operates a Skilled Worker residence permit route for non-EEA nationals who have a confirmed job offer from a Norwegian employer, meet skill requirements, and meet salary thresholds. However, the employer must actively sponsor the application, and for roles requiring fluent Norwegian, international sponsorship is rare. Posten Bring is a major employer and may sponsor for other positions where language is not a barrier — but for this specific Trondheim on-call van driver role, the listing is clearly aimed at Norwegian-speaking applicants already in Norway.

If you are an international driver interested in Norway, the more realistic path is usually to first secure a visa-sponsored role from an employer actively advertising for international candidates (often larger trucking operations, fishing industry, or seasonal roles), and then apply for local roles once you have Norwegian residence and language skills. JobsRivo’s Norway jobs page lists visa-sponsored roles when employers confirm sponsorship — that is not the case here.

Who this role may suit

This role is a good fit if:

• You live in or near Trondheim and want local driving work with no overnight long-haul
• You hold a Class B licence with at least five years of driving experience
• You are physically fit and comfortable lifting heavy items like furniture and white goods
• You speak Norwegian confidently with customers
• You are open to an on-call (tilkalling) arrangement — useful if you want to combine this with other work, studies, or family commitments
• You want a foothold at Posten Bring with the option to move into a permanent full-time contract down the line

It is probably not the right fit if you are an international applicant who needs visa sponsorship, if you do not speak Norwegian, or if you need a guaranteed fixed weekly schedule.

How to apply officially

Applications are made directly through Posten Bring’s official Oracle Cloud careers portal:

Application URL: https://fa-evem-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/no/sites/CX_1/job/1975/apply/email

The application page (in Norwegian) has an email-based application flow. You will need to provide your CV and a short cover letter, and you may be asked about your right to work in Norway, your driver licence details, and your availability for on-call shifts.

No explicit closing date is stated in the listing, which usually means applications are reviewed on a rolling basis — it is best to apply sooner rather than later.

Required documents if known

Based on the listing and Norwegian hiring norms, have these ready before you apply:

• An up-to-date CV showing your driving experience (minimum five years)
• A copy of your Norwegian Class B driver licence
• A clean police certificate (politiattest) — you can order this from the Norwegian police website, and Posten Bring may also request it directly during the hiring process
• A short cover letter in Norwegian explaining your availability and why you are interested in on-call work
• Proof of right to work in Norway if you are not a Norwegian or Nordic citizen (Posten Bring will request this)

Frequently asked questions

What does “tilkalling” mean in a Norwegian job listing?

Tilkalling means “on-call” — you are not guaranteed a fixed weekly schedule, but you are called in to cover shifts when the branch needs you. In Norway, on-call workers still have a permanent employment contract (fast ansettelse) and accumulate the same statutory benefits as fixed-schedule employees.

Does Posten Bring sponsor a work visa for this role?

The listing does not mention visa sponsorship, and the role requires Norwegian language proficiency. In practice, this position is aimed at applicants already resident in Norway or Norwegian-speaking applicants from other Nordic countries who do not need a work permit.

What is the salary for this role?

The employer has not stated a specific salary figure in the job posting. JobsRivo does not publish estimated pay for roles where the employer has not confirmed a number. The listing does confirm overtime pay and inconvenience supplements (ubekvemstillegg) at Norwegian statutory rates.

What licence do I need?

A valid Norwegian Class B driver licence (førerkort klasse B), which covers light vehicles up to 3,500 kg — the category most delivery vans fall under. You also need at least five years of driving experience.

Is the work physically demanding?

Yes. The listing explicitly mentions that the role involves delivering items like fridges and treadmills, and that good physical condition is essential. Expect regular lifting and carrying throughout the shift.

Where exactly is the branch located?

The role is based at Posten Bring’s Tiller branch at Torgardsvegen 8, 7093 Tiller — an industrial district in the southern part of Trondheim. Your delivery routes will be in Trondheim and the surrounding area.
