Company Aims to Hire 90,000 New Positions Ahead
of Busy Peak Season
FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) is increasing the power of its
nationwide workforce in preparation for another busy holiday season
by hosting both in-person and virtual hiring events across the
country. Teams are hiring for thousands of positions across all
operating companies and granting competitive offers on the spot,
temporary bonus structures, and pay enhancements that vary by
market.
“We offer team members the chance to grow and reach their full
potential, thanks to excellent training, education assistance,
career development programs, and a strong ‘promote from within’
culture. In fact, some of our top management started out in
entry-level positions with FedEx,” said Judy Edge, corporate vice
president of Human Resources at FedEx. “When you join FedEx, you
are part of a team where possibilities span the globe – from
opportunities for advancement and location transfer to training and
leadership programs. Our goal is for every team member to find and
thrive in their ideal role within the FedEx enterprise.”
National Hiring Day in-person events will take place in multiple
markets on Thursday, Sept. 23, including Memphis, Indianapolis,
Dallas, and Atlanta. Open positions include field operations
functions such as package handler, operations manager, maintenance
technician, forklift driver, customs trade coordinator, and
courier. These positions are critical to the company’s success in
meeting rising e-commerce demands from retailers and consumers.
Additionally, FedEx is hiring approximately 500 highly
specialized STEM roles, including remote positions, as the company
harnesses its logistics intelligence to optimize operations, and
transform the digital and physical customer experience. Positions
including full stack developer, data scientist, and data engineer
will help enable the company to achieve the mission of delivering
market-leading experiences that delight customers with simple,
personal, and proactive interactions.
FedEx pays wages that are highly competitive, and the company
offers a comprehensive range of benefits for permanent employees,
including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and education
assistance. As important, team member safety remains the company’s
highest priority throughout all operations.
Beyond the robust hiring effort, FedEx is readying operations by
adding new hubs and sorting facilities, enhancing package handling
and delivery capabilities to keep pace with demand, and continuing
to offer thousands of locations where consumers can drop off (or
pick up) packages at their convenience. The company is also
doubling down on the commitment to seven-day residential delivery
to get packages where they need to be every day of the week.
Interested candidates can hear first-hand from FedEx team
members about their experiences working for one of the world’s
