Cities never sleep; in much the same way, our logistics are always in motion. We work around the clock to make sure that mail reaches its destination before the day begins.
Whether it’s popping into the supermarket at 10 p.m. or hopping on a train after midnight, our routines are more flexible than ever nowadays. Picking up a parcel from an Austrian Post station late at night is no different. But what’s happening behind the scenes at Austrian Post to help us keep pace with our evergrowing desire for greater flexibility? In short: a lot. Austrian Post’s logistics centres run at full speed practically around the clock. Miles of conveyor belts hum, scanners beep in rhythm. It’s here that we sort, distribute and load orders, gifts and vital documents to ensure they arrive on time. We know how great it feels to be handed a parcel when it feels like you just ordered it. But we’re thinking beyond traditional parcel delivery services. Why stop at the doorstep when we can drop a parcel off right inside your door? With our in-home delivery service, we make sure that parcels arrive safely – even if no one’s home. We are committed to giving our customers flexible options and ensuring nationwide access to postal services – even in remote areas. Our extensive network of multifunctional hubs provide banking, postal and logistics services under one roof – often just down the road.
As e-commerce booms and parcel volumes break records year after year, we rely on cutting-edge technology and our logistics expertise to keep everything running smoothly. We work 24/7 to provide a delivery service that people can rely on.

How we’re paving the way to decarbonisation with electric vehicles, smart technology and sustainable ideas.
There are some things you expect when Austrian Post comes to the door: that long-awaited package; perhaps a cheerful greeting. But how many people stop to think that the delivery might be electric? With around 5,000 electric vehicles, we already operate Austria’s largest e-fleet. And the electricity used? – Is green energy generated in Austria, a large proportion of which by us ourselves using the company’s own photovoltaic facilities.
Our goals are ambitious: we aim to provide completely electric and fossil-free last-mile delivery in Austria by 2030; we also intend to cut our direct and indirect CO2 emissions across the Group by 90% by 2050. To get there, we’re trialling electric trucks, making our buildings more energy efficient and using cutting-edge technology. We also want to support our customers in their sustainability efforts by offering reusable packaging through the Post Loop service – because boxes have more than one trip in them.
It’s a big challenge, but we’re tackling it head on in partnership with all of our employees – with innovative solutions, bold pilot projects, and a clear vision. For us, climate action is not optional. It’s what drives us.

We are yellow. And as an employer – we’re colourful. We have around 20,000 people from over 100 nations working across a variety of roles in Austria.
It’s this diversity – and the strengths, talents and unique perspectives that our employees bring to the table – that makes us successful. We’re growing, but our values remain the same: mutual respect, a sense of belonging and real opportunities for the future. That’s why we are committed to creating a modern workplace where everyone has a voice. Our 160 cultural ambassadors actively bring this mindset into everything they do on a daily basis. We’re especially passionate about nurturing young talent. Whether it’s hands-on apprenticeships in logistics or retail, tailored seminars or strong professional networks – we offer outstanding career prospects. Anyone who stays with us for two years after qualifying will have the cost of getting their driving licence covered. We also offer performance bonuses, meal vouchers and apprenticeships combined with a secondary education diploma. It’s no wonder that we’ve been named a “Top Apprenticeship Scheme” multiple times.
Being family-friendly is something we value highly. Our Salzburg logistics centre was the first of its kind to be officially certified as family-friendly. Our company headquarters have held this accolade since 2013. For us, work and family life should complement each other instead of being opposing forces. If you come to work for Austrian Post, you’re not just moving letters and parcels – you’re moving your own future forward. That’s why we’re always looking for people who want to grow with us. Because at Austrian Post, everything runs thanks to you.
