Cargo Handler / Non-Driver – FedEx – Fort McMurray, AB

Fort McMurray’s logistics scene keeps the region moving, and FedEx — one of Canada’s most recognized freight and delivery networks — is looking for a Cargo Handler / Non-Driver to join the team at their facility on Taiganova Crescent. If you’re physically active, reliable, and comfortable working in a structured warehouse environment, this could be a solid fit.

The role centres on loading and unloading freight, scanning, and sorting packages within the facility. It’s hands-on, physical work with consistent morning shifts from Monday to Saturday — ideal for someone who prefers to wrap up their workday before noon.

About the Role: Cargo Handler / Non-Driver

As a Cargo Handler, your primary responsibilities revolve around the efficient movement of freight through the facility. You’ll be responsible for loading and unloading shipments, ensuring packages are properly scanned and sorted according to FedEx standards.

Working in a fast-paced warehouse environment, you’ll be expected to complete all required training — including basic and recurrency training — and maintain any applicable annual accreditations. FedEx maintains strict operational standards, so attention to detail and adherence to Canadian Customs regulations and FedEx Canada procedures is part of the day-to-day.
