Licensing Examiners and Inspectors
Career Snapshot
The United States Postal Agency receives and delivers more mail than any other postal service in the world. As a result, the average post office is a pretty busy location. Postmasters and superintendents are responsible for ensuring that everything is in working order. These senior executives control all areas of the post office, from the mechanical systems that transport mail to the employees who make up the staff. This is a job that necessitates strong business, managerial, and interpersonal abilities.
Hiring and training personnel, as well as evaluating their performance, are all part of the job. Dealing with client complaints necessitates a polite, even-tempered demeanour that is at ease with problem-solving. Critical thinking is also necessary.
Postmasters and superintendents buy supplies and equipment and write reports. Many rise through the ranks of the federal postal service. To start at the bottom, you must have a high school diploma. On-the-job training is also available. Hours are set, however the postmaster may need to be flexible during peak seasons.
The post office is an essential piece in our communication chain. Postmasters and postal superintendents work to guarantee that the United States mail is not disrupted by rain, snow, or darkness at night.
