About Mercury

We coordinate the secure transportation of research materials, diagnostic products, medical devices, clinical supplies, and other high-value or time-sensitive shipments throughout the United States and internationally.


The Opportunity

Mercury is seeking reliable, professional independent contractors to perform on-board courier assignments. An on-board courier personally accompanies a shipment from its origin to its destination, maintaining custody and providing real-time updates throughout the journey.

  • Collecting a sealed shipment from a designated location, airport, airline facility, or Mercury service partner.
  • Maintaining continuous possession and chain of custody throughout the assignment.
  • Traveling with the shipment on scheduled commercial flights.
  • Verifying shipment labels, documentation, seals, and piece counts at collection and delivery.
  • Following the assignment-specific handling, security, temperature-control, and communication requirements provided by Mercury.
  • Completing airline check-in, security screening, customs, and immigration procedures as applicable.
  • Providing timely milestone updates, including collection, airport arrival, check-in, departure, arrival, customs clearance, and final delivery.
  • Immediately reporting delays, missed connections, damaged packaging, temperature concerns, customs issues, or other exceptions.
  • Safeguarding shipping documents and other confidential information.
  • Delivering the shipment directly to the authorized recipient and obtaining proof of delivery.



Qualifications

Successful contractors should have:

  • Prior experience in aviation, logistics, international travel, healthcare logistics, or other onboard courier services
  • A valid passport with sufficient remaining validity for international travel.
  • The ability to travel domestically and internationally on short notice.
  • The legal ability to enter the countries required for an accepted assignment.
  • Reliable transportation to and from their originating airport.
  • A dependable smartphone with international calling, messaging, email, and data capabilities.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Excellent attention to detail and the ability to follow shipment-specific instructions.
  • The ability to remain calm and make sound decisions during delays or other travel disruptions.
  • A professional appearance and customer-service mindset.


Physical and Travel Requirements

Contractors must be able to:

  • Navigate airports, airline terminals, customs facilities, and public transportation independently.
  • Remain available throughout long or irregular travel itineraries.
  • Lift, carry, and maneuver shipments weighing up to 50 pounds, with or without reasonable assistance.
  • Adjust to flight changes, overnight travel, weekends, holidays, and changing time zones.
  • Comply with all airline, airport, customs, immigration, and security requirements.
