UPS to hire around 1,770 employees for Holiday Season in Jacksonville

The United Parcel Service announced Wednesday it expects to hire more than 1,770 seasonal employees in the Jacksonville area ahead of the holiday rush.

Their new streamlined, digital-first process now takes just 25 minutes for most people – from filling out an online application to receiving a job offer. And nearly 80% of seasonal positions do not require an interview.

The company is gearing up to meet customer needs for the holiday season. The company is filling full- and part-time seasonal positions – primarily seasonal drivers, package handlers and driver helpers – by offering competitive wages across multiple shifts in hundreds of locations across the country.

Both seasonal package car and tractor-trailer driver positions begin at $21 per hour.

“We have made our hiring process as easy as possible,” said Nando Cesarone, Executive Vice President and President, U.S. Operations. “UPS’s strength has always been our people, and we are excited about the opportunity to welcome new UPS-ers to our team as we deliver what matters for our customers this holiday season.”

Through the company’s Earn and Learn program, eligible employees have the opportunity to earn up to $25,000 (lifetime maximum) for college tuition and expenses. Part-time employees are eligible for reimbursement the day they are hired. UPS invested $30 million in education assistance programs in 2021.

UPS is hiring at the following Jacksonville-area locations:

Jacksonville: 4255 James E. Casey Dr., Jacksonville, FL 32219

Baymeadows: 9431 Florida Mining Blvd. East, Jacksonville, FL 32257
