The Courier (Medium Rigid) role involves safely operating a medium rigid vehicle to collect and deliver freight, completing delivery documentation, scanning shipments, and providing professional customer service.

Experience in courier, freight, or commercial driving is advantageous.

Flexibility to work varying shifts, meet delivery targets, use handheld technology, and comply with FedEx policies is also expected.

About the employer

Federal Express Corporation, commonly known as FedEx, is a global transportation and logistics company providing express parcel delivery, freight, e-commerce, and supply-chain services. Its operations connect businesses and consumers across Australia and international markets through road, air, and distribution networks. In the AMEA region—Asia, the Middle East and Africa—FedEx supports time-critical shipments and complex logistics requirements for customers ranging from small businesses to multinational organisations. The company places strong emphasis on safety, service reliability, operational efficiency, technology, and responsible business practices. Employees typically work in a structured, performance-focused environment where teamwork, integrity, accurate handling of shipments, and high-quality customer service are important. Australian courier positions may involve depot operations, local driving routes, manual handling, and regular interaction with customers.

Working in Australia

Australia offers courier, freight, warehousing, transport, airport, retail, healthcare, construction, and professional job opportunities, with major employment centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Canberra. Workplace culture is generally practical, direct, safety-conscious, and respectful of work-life balance. Lifestyle varies from busy metropolitan living to relaxed coastal or regional communities, with outdoor activities, diverse food, and relatively high living costs, especially for housing. Most overseas workers need a visa with work rights, such as an employer-sponsored visa, skilled visa, working holiday visa, or another eligible temporary visa. A recognised Australian driver licence and the correct vehicle class are essential for commercial driving; licence conversion rules differ by state or territory. Before relocating, check visa eligibility, licence requirements, taxation, healthcare access, rental costs, and whether the role requires a police check or medical assessment.
