At the Cambridge, Ontario facility on Barnes Road, FedEx (Federal Express Corporation Canada) is looking for a Package Handler to join their warehouse operations team. This is a part-time, physically active role where you’ll be at the heart of one of the world’s most recognized logistics networks — keeping packages moving safely and efficiently through the facility.

You’ll work across various positions within the operation, including Loader, Unloader, Palletizer, Scan Weigh and Key (SWAK), Quality Assurance (QA), Facer, and Switcher, depending on daily assignment and business needs. All package handling is done using the standard “hand-to-surface” method to maintain safety and efficiency throughout each shift.

Package Handlers may also be selected for specialized roles such as Package Handler Trainer — responsible for coaching peers on proper technique and dock safety — or Package Handler – Air, which involves a multi-step inspection process to ensure compliance with air transport regulations. Both assignments require six months of experience with FedEx and additional specialized training.
