Package Handler (Warehouse) – FedEx – Woodbridge, ON

FedEx is hiring a Package Handler at their Woodbridge, Ontario facility — a hands-on warehouse role suited for individuals who enjoy physical work in a structured, team-based setting. This is a seasonal part-time position with set shift schedules, making it a solid fit for those looking for consistent early-morning hours through mid-summer 2026.

Day to day, you’ll be on the floor loading, unloading, and sorting packages by hand, working alongside a crew to keep packages moving efficiently through FedEx’s distribution operation. Depending on the assignment, you could rotate through roles like Loader, Unloader, Palletizer, Scanner, or Quality Assurance — giving you exposure to different parts of the warehouse process.

About the Role: Package Handler

As a Package Handler at FedEx Woodbridge, your primary responsibility is the safe and efficient physical movement of packages — lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, and placing parcels throughout a shift of approximately 3 to 5 hours. You’ll use hand-to-surface handling methods, operate equipment like dock carts and hand-held scanners, and read labels and charts to sort packages to the correct conveyor routes.

The role may include specialized assignments. Package Handler Trainers coach fellow team members on proper loading, unloading, and scanning techniques, while Package Handler – Air staff perform multi-step inspections to ensure air-restricted items are properly identified and handled in compliance with safety and regulatory standards. Working in this environment means adapting to varying temperatures and noise levels, and consistently following FedEx’s dock safety protocols.
