🔧 The Jobs USPS Is Filling
The event listing on CareerForce Minnesota, the state's public workforce system, names three titles: automotive technician, automotive mechanic and lead automotive technician. USPS says it is looking for skilled automotive professionals to maintain one of the largest delivery fleets in the country.
On its careers page, USPS describes technicians handling both routine and complex repairs on every type of vehicle in the postal fleet: diagnostics, computerized and electronic testing, inspections, road calls and road tests. Lead technicians take the hardest repairs and also guide and schedule the rest of the shop.
No headcount has been published for this fair. Go expecting a conversation about real openings, not a guaranteed number of hires.
💵 What It Pays
The November listing does not print wages. The most recent figures USPS posted for these jobs in the Twin Cities came with its September 16 fair at the downtown Minneapolis Post Office, where the listing advertised starting pay of $32.13 an hour for automotive technicians and $35.78 for lead vehicle technicians in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Treat those as September numbers and confirm the current rate on the posting you apply to.
That same September listing spelled out the benefits package: health and life insurance, a retirement plan, a savings plan with an employer contribution, flexible spending, annual and sick leave, and 11 paid federal holidays. It also said USPS provides all tools.
⚠️ Read This Before You Drive Down
The listing does not say whether you need to register, whether interviews happen on site, or what certifications are required. USPS job postings set the requirements, and past USPS hiring notices for the Twin Cities have asked that applicants be at least 18, pass a background check and be available for weekends and holidays. Check the posting before you go.
The date is also the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Expect heavier traffic than usual heading south of the river, and plan to arrive well before 2:00 p.m. If you need an accommodation to attend, call 612-349-4761 ahead of time. For general questions, CareerForce takes calls at 651-259-7500.

- A printed resume listing the vehicle types you have serviced, from light trucks to heavy fleet.
- Your certifications, such as ASE, plus any diesel, electrical or EV training.
