Package Handler (Early Morning Shift) – UPS – Caledon, ON

UPS, the world’s largest package delivery company, is hiring a Package Handler (Early Morning Shift) at their Caledon, Ontario facility. This is a part-time, permanent, unionized position that offers a clear progression path, solid pay, and real opportunity to grow within a Fortune Global 500 company.

If you’re someone who prefers to be done with work before most people’s alarm goes off, this early morning warehouse role lets you get your hours in between 3:30 AM and 9:30 AM, Tuesday through Saturday. The work is physical and fast-paced — sorting, loading, and unloading packages — and it comes with a strong compensation package backed by a Union Collective Agreement.

About the Role: Package Handler (Early Morning Shift)

Working out of UPS’s 12424 Dixie Road facility in Caledon, the Package Handler plays a central role in keeping packages moving efficiently through the supply chain. You’ll be physically sorting and stocking packages by postal code, loading and unloading them from delivery vehicles and trailers, and following UPS’s established package handling methods.

This role takes place in a warehouse environment where temperatures can vary and volume can fluctuate. Flexibility with start and finish times is required depending on operational needs. You may occasionally be asked to stay beyond the standard shift when shipment volume demands it — so reliability and adaptability are key traits in this position.

Benefits and Salary

This position starts at $18.50 per hour with automatic wage progression under the Union Collective Agreement — reaching a top rate of $36.53/hr after 48 months of service. Benefits include extended health care (vision, health, life insurance, and dental) after one year of service, tuition reimbursement up to $2,000 per semester (subject to eligibility), paid training, weekly pay via direct deposit every Friday, personal paid days off, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), an Employee Referral Bonus Program, and free onsite parking. Note that monthly union dues of approximately $43/month apply, along with a one-time $50 union initiation fee (deducted after 90 working days) and a $20.50 background check fee (reimbursed after 90 working days).

Responsibilities

As a Package Handler, your day revolves around keeping the warehouse floor moving. Every task you perform — from unloading trailers to sorting packages by postal code — directly impacts UPS’s ability to deliver on time. Accuracy, speed, and physical stamina are all part of the job.

• Load and unload packages into and out of UPS package delivery vehicles and trailers
• Sort and stock packages accurately based on postal codes
• Learn and execute UPS’s established package handling methods and procedures

Requirements / Skills

UPS is looking for physically capable, reliable individuals who can handle an early morning schedule and keep up in a demanding warehouse environment. Prior warehouse experience is a bonus, but what matters most is your commitment, physical fitness, and ability to follow procedures consistently.

• Minimum 18 years of age — required to work in this role
• Ability to lift up to 70 lbs. (35 kg) without assistance
• Full availability Tuesday to Saturday, early morning hours starting at 3:30 AM
