Job description

As a Package Handler with Federal Express Corporation Canada (FedEx Canada) in Edmonton, AB, you’ll support daily warehouse operations by loading, unloading, sorting, and scanning packages by hand in a safe and efficient way. This is a physical, fast-paced role where you may rotate across areas such as Loader, Unloader, Palletizer, Scan Weigh & Key (SWAK), and Quality Assurance (QA).

The work is continuous and repetitive during short shifts (typically 3–5 hours), and you may work more than one shift per day depending on operational needs.

Some assignments require extra training—such as PH Trainer (training other handlers) or PH – Air (inspecting air‑restricted packages and completing required documentation/training).
