UPS Part-time Package Handler: Gateway to Many Potential Career Paths

Most employees begin their career at UPS as Part-time Package Handlers in the Package Operations division. While others join UPS Package Operations as Seasonal Driver Helpers, Package Delivery Drivers, Tractor-trailer Drivers, and Fleet Mechanics. UPS actively promotes employees from within, and because of UPS's commitment to continuing education and training, the Part-time Package Handler position can be the gateway to many potential career paths within United Parcel Service.

Full-time Benefits for Part-time Work

The Part-time Package Handler is a physical, fast-paced position that involves continual lifting, lowering, and sliding of packages that typically weigh 25 to 35 lbs. and may weigh up to 70 lbs. Part-time employees usually work 3.5 to 4 hours each weekday (Monday through Friday) and typically do not work on weekends or selected holidays. It is an ideal job for college students who need to work to pay their way through school, or for adults who are looking for convenient, consistent part-time hours with employer-paid "full-time" benefits that fit within their busy lifestyles.

UPS Calls Its 4 Shifts "Sorts": Most Openings at "Night" & "Sunrise".

The "sorts" can range from 3.5 to 5 hours throughout the day and evening including a "Day Sort" (approx. 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.), "Twilight Sort" (approx. 6 p.m. - 10 p.m.), "Night Sort" (approx. 11 p.m. - 3 a.m.), and "Sunrise/Preload Sort" (approx 4 a.m. - 8 a.m.).

Apply to only one building and for only one sort. Once you choose your sort, if you are hired you will consistently work at that time typically Monday through Friday with weekends off.

UPS is an equal opportunity employer.
