Material Handler – DHL – Lethbridge, AB

DHL Supply Chain is looking for a Material Handler to join their dedicated night shift team in Lethbridge, Alberta. As part of one of the world’s largest logistics operations, this full-time position offers steady work supporting an aircraft parts assembly process — a role where precision and reliability genuinely matter.

Working four nights per week from 7:00 PM to 5:30 AM, you’ll be handling engine kits and bulk parts that feed directly into an aircraft assembly line. This is hands-on warehouse work that keeps critical operations moving, and it comes with a competitive hourly wage and a solid benefits package.

About the Role: Material Handler

As a Material Handler at DHL’s Lethbridge facility, your day-to-day work centres on order picking, packing, receiving, and replenishment of aircraft engine and bulk parts kits. You’ll use RF equipment throughout the receiving and picking process and operate powered industrial equipment to move, stack, and count product with accuracy.

This role involves close attention to product quality and compliance. You’ll be verifying inbound and outbound shipments, checking for damage, confirming product codes, and ensuring everything matches customer requirements. Health and safety protocols are a cornerstone of daily operations, and you’ll be expected to uphold them consistently. Please note: this position works with a product classified as a controlled good by the Government of Canada — applicants must be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident. No exceptions.

This full-time role pays $22.75 per hour. DHL offers a comprehensive benefits package for full-time associates including medical and dental coverage, long-term disability, basic life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, and short-term disability. Optional benefits include DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA savings plans, optional life and AD&D insurance, and critical illness coverage. Full-time associates are also eligible for paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays. DHL has been certified as a Great Place to Work® and Top Employer in Canada for the third consecutive year.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll be at the centre of a fast-moving warehouse and distribution operation supporting aircraft assembly. Every task — from picking and packing to delivery and inventory — requires accuracy and consistency, as the parts you handle directly impact production downstream.
