Package Handler – FedEx – Cambridge, ON

FedEx is hiring a Package Handler at their Cambridge, Ontario facility located at 50 Barnes Road. If you’re looking for a hands-on role where you’re physically active and part of a fast-moving team, this part-time position could be a solid fit. No prior experience is required — FedEx will train you up and get you started.

This is a physically demanding job that keeps you moving throughout your shift. You’ll be loading, unloading, and sorting packages by hand, operating in a warehouse environment where safety, speed, and accuracy all matter. Depending on your assignment, you could rotate through multiple roles on the floor, including Loader, Unloader, Palletizer, and more.

About the Role: Package Handler

As a Package Handler, your core responsibility is the physical movement of packages — lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling throughout a 3–5 hour shift. You’ll use conveyor systems, hand-held scanners, dock carts, and other warehouse tools to ensure packages are sorted and routed correctly. You may also be assigned to specialized roles like Package Handler – Air (responsible for air cargo inspections) or Package Handler Trainer (mentoring new team members on safe handling techniques).

Working at FedEx means being part of a team that prioritizes dock safety, clear communication, and consistent performance. Whether you’re scanning packages, verifying labels, or palletizing freight, attention to detail and the ability to follow instructions are essential every single shift.

Benefits and Salary

This is a part-time position paying $20.47 per hour. Two shift options are available: Monday to Friday, 3:50 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. or Saturday to Wednesday, 6:40 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.. A valid Full G licence is required. FedEx is committed to being an inclusive employer and encourages applications from all qualified candidates, including women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous persons, and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Accommodations are available during the recruitment process.
