Cargo Handler – FedEx – Thunder Bay, ON

FedEx is hiring a Part-Time Cargo Handler at its Thunder Bay, Ontario facility. If you’re physically capable, hold a valid full Class G driver’s licence, and are looking for consistent early-morning shifts, this role with Federal Express Corporation Canada could be a solid fit.

Working inside the FedEx facility at 1115 Premier Way, you’ll be hands-on every day — loading, unloading, scanning, and sorting freight. The schedule runs Monday to Friday, 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., making it a practical option for those who prefer wrapping up work before noon.

About the Role: Cargo Handler

As a Cargo Handler at FedEx Thunder Bay, your primary focus is keeping freight moving safely and efficiently through the facility. This means loading and unloading shipments, using scanning equipment to track packages, and ensuring proper sorting so freight reaches its destination on time. You’ll also be responsible for transporting freight both within the facility and between locations as needed.

Physical capability is essential in this role — you’ll be required to lift up to 70 lbs and manoeuvre packages weighing up to 150 lbs using appropriate equipment. Attention to safety procedures and compliance with Canadian Customs regulations is expected, and all team members must complete required basic and recurrency training to maintain certifications.

Benefits and Salary

The job posting does not specify a wage rate for this position. FedEx is known for offering competitive compensation in the logistics sector. As part of a globally recognized organization, employees benefit from working within a structured, safety-focused environment. FedEx also emphasizes inclusion and equity in the workplace, welcoming applications from all qualified individuals including women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous persons, and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Accommodation is available during the recruitment process upon request.

Responsibilities

The day-to-day work of a Cargo Handler at FedEx revolves around keeping shipments moving accurately and on schedule. From the moment freight arrives at the facility, your role is critical to ensuring it’s properly handled, tracked, and dispatched without delay.

Requirements / Skills

FedEx is looking for a reliable, physically fit candidate who can work independently during early-morning shifts and meet the standards required in a fast-paced warehouse environment. Good communication and a willingness to follow procedures are just as important as physical capability.

• Physical fitness — ability to lift 70 lbs and manoeuvre packages up to 150 lbs with equipment
• High School Diploma or GED — preferred but not strictly required
