You will operate a non-commercial van or a commercial box truck as needed to keep operations running smoothly.

In this role, your primary responsibility is the pickup, transport, and delivery of applications, form requests, and other materials from Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) at the Riverfront Office Center (ROC) for distribution to PennDOT facilities and partner agencies. These shuttle runs occur three to four times daily, and during peak seasons, you may be required to work overtime to help manage increased volume.

You will pick up items at the ROC, sort them according to delivery routes, and transport them-primarily within the Capitol Complex-using a Commonwealth van. After making deliveries, you will collect return items for transport back to the ROC.

Using a cart, you will move materials to designated areas and deliver them directly to the appropriate personnel. At times, you will hand-deliver items to specific offices or employees across the Commonwealth.

Additional duties include delivering deposits from DVS to the Office of the Comptroller as needed, picking up trays or tubs of mail from the Post Office, and processing mail using an electronic slitting machine. You will sort, open, and distribute both U.S. Postal Service and interoffice mail.

When required, you will also operate a Commonwealth enclosed box truck (CMV) with a GVWR of 35,000 lbs. to complete pickup and delivery assignments.
