*PART-TIME ONLY ENCOURAGED TO APPLY*
Part-time position as a Delivery Associate Driver delivering packages. We are looking for part-time drivers with open schedules. Peak Delivery Services is an Amazon Delivery Service Partner (DSP) based in Colorado Springs; we deliver packages on behalf of Amazon.
As Amazon continues to grow across Colorado, Peak Delivery Services is looking for ambitious, high performing drivers to deliver packages around the Colorado Springs region.

What Part-time Employment Means:
Unlike traditional part-time employment, delivering packages on a route means being able to complete a full route every day that you are assigned to work. This means the "part" in part-time refers to the total hours worked per week, not per day. Part-time employees will be expected to work FULL days of 10-12 hours, 1-3 days a week.
Responsibilities:
Requires working a 10-12 hour shift (the routes are designed at 10-hours, but working up to 12 total hours may be required on certain days). Requires working weekend days and most holidays, 2-3 days a week. Must be open to any schedule. Shift starts at 9:30AM with drivers receiving their route, loading their own van, leaving the station and following a GPS route on a smart device. At the end of the day drivers perform a post-trip inspection, and end their day. Drivers are expected to deliver an average of 300+ packages in a 10 hour route (again, some days will be longer). We deliver 7 days a week and are looking for a variety of different work schedules to fill. Must be available to work weekends. Drivers deploy from a facility located next to the COS Airport.

- Stand, squat, bend/twist frequently
- Be able to walk up stairs where needed
- Be ready to walk a total of 7+ miles and climb hundreds of stairs per day - you will be moving a lot! In and out of van every stop. This is not an easy job, it is hard work! It requires being able to hustle WITHOUT compromising safety and quality.
