“Our challenge this year is that we’re seeing peak volumes in the summer, which is a nontraditional time. We normally have time to prep for peak season,” said Hewitt.
At the DHL Express Americas Hub (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport), the company is adding about 150 jobs to handle the 30 percent year-over-year volume increase.
At the company’s gateway at the Miami International Airport, which connects to the company’s South America, Central America and Caribbean network, about 30 jobs are being added to account for a higher volume than last year. Volume is expected to increase another 22 percent with the implementation of a new Hong Kong – Los Angeles – Miami flight that commenced in late May. This new flight from Asia, scheduled to run in-bound five times per week, will add approximately 45 more tons of capacity per flight.
Similarly, DHL Express’ gateway at O'Hare International will require more than 50 permanent employees to respond to a 25 percent volume increase year-over-year in 2020. The company expects shipment volumes to remain high as businesses restock inventory to prepare for re-openings.
The new jobs to be filled in the coming weeks include permanent full- and part-time opportunities in direct management, clearance and gateway operations, pick-up and delivery service, and ramp and sorting operations throughout the U.S. Because of the ongoing risk in spreading COVID-19, DHL will continue to offer options for virtual recruiting and hiring, including remote interviews and online training. Once hired, employees will physically report to work at the designated locations.
While about 80 percent of the DHL Express U.S. employees work the frontline, 20 percent have been eligible to work from home during the pandemic. To protect frontline employees and those returning to the office, DHL Express follows governmental health guidelines for PPE such as masks and gloves, performs intense deep cleanings of facilities, informs its employees of new safety standards, and has modified workspaces by staggering shift times to guarantee proper social distancing.
