Material Handler – DHL – Lethbridge, AB

DHL Supply Chain is currently hiring a Material Handler at their Lethbridge, Alberta facility. This is a full-time, rotating shift position supporting one of the world’s most essential logistics operations — specifically working with engine kits and aircraft assembly parts. If you’re someone who takes pride in precision, safety, and hands-on warehouse work, this could be the right fit.

Day-to-day, you’ll be working as part of a rotating shift team, handling tasks like order picking, packing, receiving, and replenishment for aircraft engine components. You’ll operate powered equipment, use RF scanning tools, and ensure every inbound and outbound product meets strict quality and customer standards. It’s a fast-moving environment where accuracy and reliability genuinely matter.

About the Role: Material Handler

As a Material Handler at DHL Lethbridge, your primary focus will be the movement, storage, and verification of aircraft parts and engine kits. This includes picking and packing orders, performing replenishment, and delivering carts directly to the engine assembly line. You’ll use RF equipment throughout the receiving and picking processes, ensuring every item is tracked and accounted for accurately.

This position requires strict adherence to Health and Safety policies and procedures, as well as daily equipment inspections and facility upkeep. Because the products handled are designated as controlled goods by the Government of Canada, only Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents are eligible — this requirement is non-negotiable and will be verified during screening.

Benefits and Salary

This full-time position pays $22.25/hr. Full-time associates at DHL are eligible for a solid package of benefits including medical and dental coverage, basic life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, short-term and long-term disability, and paid time off (PTO) including paid holidays. Optional benefits include DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA savings plans, as well as optional life insurance, AD&D, and critical illness coverage (including dependent coverage, subject to evidence of insurability). DHL has been certified as a Great Place to Work® and Top Employer in Canada for the third consecutive year.

Responsibilities

Working as a Material Handler at DHL means being a key part of the supply chain for aircraft assembly operations. Each shift, you’ll be responsible for keeping product flowing accurately and efficiently from receiving through to the assembly line — precision and consistency are essential in this environment.

• Replenish and validate parts used throughout the aircraft assembly process
• Deliver carts directly to the engine assembly line in a timely manner

• Maintain the facility and equipment in a clean, orderly condition with daily inspections
• Assist with physical inventories as required

Requirements / Skills

DHL is looking for candidates who are dependable, safety-conscious, and comfortable working in a fast-paced warehouse environment.
