Package Handler Trainer PT-5 – FedEx – Woodbridge, ON

FedEx is looking for a Package Handler Trainer (PT-5) at their Woodbridge, Ontario facility. This part-time, temporary contract role is ideal for someone with hands-on experience in warehouse operations who’s ready to step into a training capacity and help new team members hit the ground running.

In this position, you’ll be working the midnight sort shift — Monday through Friday from 11:00 PM to 2:30 AM — training fellow Package Handlers on proper loading, unloading, palletizing, and scanning techniques while also performing physical package handling yourself. If you enjoy mentoring others in a fast-paced logistics environment, this role offers a meaningful way to contribute to the operation.

About the Role: Package Handler Trainer PT-5

As a Package Handler Trainer at FedEx’s Woodbridge facility on 45 Di Poce Way, your primary focus will be on coaching new and existing Package Handlers to ensure packages move through the operation safely and efficiently. You’ll deliver on-the-job instruction covering unloading, carrying, loading, palletizing, smalls handling, SWAK, and non-conveyable package handling. You’ll also reinforce dock safety standards and keep managers informed about operational conditions during each sort.

Beyond the training responsibilities, you’ll be actively working alongside the team — loading and unloading packages, scanning labels, and operating various equipment. Physical stamina is key, as the role involves continuous lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling of packages ranging from 10 to 50 pounds throughout a 3–5 hour shift. Conditions include exposure to hot and cold temperatures and a loud working environment — so being prepared for that physical and sensory reality is part of the job.

Benefits and Salary

This is a part-time, temporary contract position for a 6-month term with Federal Express Corporation Canada. While specific pay details are not listed in this posting, FedEx is recognized for offering competitive compensation and a workplace that values diversity and inclusion. The company is an equal opportunity employer that actively encourages applications from women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous persons, and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Accommodation during the recruitment process is available upon request.

Responsibilities

This role blends hands-on package handling with active peer training. Each shift, you’ll be both a participant in the sort operation and a resource for the team around you — providing instruction, reinforcing safe work habits, and keeping things moving smoothly through the facility.

• Train new Package Handlers on effective unloading, loading, palletizing, carrying, smalls handling, SWAK, and non-conveyable package techniques
• Provide additional instruction to Package Handlers who need further guidance, as identified by management
• Deliver feedback on proper package handling techniques to promote safety and efficiency
• Reinforce dock safety standards among peers throughout each shift
• Update managers on operational conditions during the sort to support real-time decision-making
• Assist with implementing new package handling procedures and techniques as they are introduced
• Load and unload packages onto/from delivery vehicles, trailers, pallets, conveyor systems, carts, and load gratings
• Scan packages, read labels and charts, verify numbers, and sort accordingly using appropriate conveyor systems
• Perform physical package handling continuously throughout the shift, lifting and carrying packages up to 50 lbs

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate is someone who has built solid warehouse and package handling experience and is comfortable passing that knowledge on to others. FedEx is looking for a communicator and a team player who leads by example in both technique and safety.

• Six months of experience as a Package Handler with FedEx Ground is preferred
• Ability to train multiple peers simultaneously in a hands-on, physical environment
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work well in a fast-paced team setting
• Ability to understand and follow instructions regarding work duties and safety methods
