If you’re looking for a physical, hands-on role with one of the world’s leading logistics companies, this is a solid opportunity to get your foot in the door — no prior experience required. The position is a part-time early morning shift, making it a great fit for those who prefer to wrap up work before the rest of the day gets going.

It’s active, team-driven work in a fast-paced warehouse environment.

About the Role: Package Handler

As a Package Handler at FedEx, your primary responsibility is the safe and efficient movement of packages through the facility. You’ll use hand-to-surface handling methods to load and unload delivery vehicles, trailers, and conveyor systems. You’ll also be scanning labels, reading charts, and sorting packages to the correct conveyor — all while keeping up with the pace of a busy sort operation.

Depending on your assignment, you may have the opportunity to take on specialized roles. Package Handler Trainers are responsible for coaching peers on safe and effective handling techniques, while Package Handler – Air positions involve a multi-step inspection process to ensure packages meet air transport regulations. Both specialized roles prefer at least six months of FedEx PH experience. Throughout all assignments, dock safety standards and team communication are central to how operations run.
