Package Handler Trainer PT – FedEx – Edmonton, AB

FedEx’s Edmonton facility is looking for a Part-Time Package Handler Trainer to join their facility operations team at 9126 130 St SW, Edmonton, Alberta. This role goes beyond standard package handling — you’ll be guiding and developing your fellow Package Handlers, helping keep the operation running safely and efficiently while staying hands-on with the physical work yourself.

As a Package Handler Trainer (PT), you’ll split your time between training coworkers on proper loading, unloading, palletizing, and scanning techniques, and actively participating in the physical movement of packages throughout the sort. It’s a role built for someone who leads by example and thrives in a fast-paced, team-driven warehouse environment.

About the Role: Package Handler Trainer PT

In this position, you’ll be responsible for onboarding new Package Handlers and supporting those who need additional coaching on techniques like SWAK (Scan Weigh and Key), smalls handling, non-conveyable package handling, and dock safety. You’ll work closely with management, providing real-time updates on sort conditions so the team can make smart operational decisions. You may also rotate through various areas including Loader, Unloader, Palletizer, Facer, and Switcher roles.

Physical demands are a core part of this job. You’ll be lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling packages continuously throughout a shift of approximately 3–5 hours, with the possibility of working more than one shift per day. Working conditions include exposure to hot and cold temperatures and a loud noise environment, so comfort with a physical, industrial workspace is essential. Safety standards and proper procedures must be reinforced at all times among peers.

Benefits and Salary

FedEx is committed to employment equity and inclusion, welcoming candidates from all backgrounds including women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, and 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Specific pay details for this position were not listed in the posting, but FedEx is known for offering competitive compensation for part-time roles. Accommodations are available during the recruitment and selection process upon request.

Responsibilities

Day-to-day, this role blends hands-on package handling with active peer training and coaching. You’ll be on the floor leading by example, reinforcing safety standards, and helping the team operate at its best during every sort cycle.

• Train new Package Handlers on unloading, loading, palletizing, carrying, smalls handling, SWAK, and non-conveyable package techniques
• Provide additional coaching to PHs identified by management as needing further instruction on handling procedures
• Reinforce dock safety standards among all peer Package Handlers at all times
• Update management on sort conditions to support efficient operational decision-making
• Assist with implementation of new package handling procedures and techniques as they are introduced
• Physically load and unload packages from delivery vehicles, trailers, pallets, conveyor systems, carts, and load gratings
• Lift, carry, push, and pull packages continuously and repetitively throughout each shift
• Scan packages, read labels, and sort accordingly using the correct conveyor system
• Utilize hand-to-surface methods and basic equipment such as skate wheel rollers, dock carts, hand-held scanners, and chutes

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate for this role is someone comfortable on the warehouse floor, capable of leading peers through instruction and example, and physically prepared for demanding shift work. Strong communication is key — you’ll be teaching, correcting, and updating management regularly throughout every sort.

• Six months of experience as a Package Handler with FedEx Ground is preferred (no prior experience required)
• Ability to train multiple Package Handlers simultaneously in a busy facility environment
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively in a fast-paced team setting
