Part Time Handler AM
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Part Time Handler AM role involves loading, unloading, sorting, scanning and moving packages within a FedEx facility during morning shifts. Candidates should be physically fit, able to repeatedly lift and handle parcels safely, and comfortable standing, bending and working at a steady pace. Good attention to detail is required to ensure shipments are correctly processed and protected. Applicants should be reliable, punctual, safety-conscious and able to work effectively with a team. Previous warehouse, freight or package-handling experience is helpful but may not be essential, as training is generally provided. Availability for early-morning shifts and the ability to follow workplace procedures are important expectations.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Truck drivers and warehouse staff are not on the Core Skills list; supply and distribution managers and supply chain analysts are, at AUD 79,423+.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Warehouse and driver jobs go to people who already have work rights, including working holiday makers (6 months per employer); office roles are the ones sponsored.
