Who’s hiring in Oak Park?
Oak Park is primarily residential but planners set aside 13 percent of the city for industry in the 1950s, and there is still an industrial corridor through the southeast portion of town. The largest single site is the 305,000-square-foot FedEx Ground distribution facility on 54 acres at the former National Guard armory location off Eight Mile and Greenfield Road, and window manufacturer WeatherGard has been headquartered in Oak Park since 1995.
That means jobs handling packages, warehouse work and light manufacturing are accessible to people who live within a short commute of Southfield, Ferndale or Detroit's northwest side. Industrial-area businesses are looking for general laborers, warehouse associates and forklift operators, and warehouse and distribution jobs tend to have busy seasons when companies need additional help.

Where Oak Park’s employers are
Eight Mile and Greenfield
FedEx Ground's distribution center is at the former armory on Eight Mile and Greenfield. The city's master plan envisions development on the remainder of the site due to its proximity to I-696 and the Lodge Freeway. Package and warehouse jobs at facilities like these require package handlers, loaders, and forklift operators.
Southeast Industrial District
Older industrial buildings fill the city's southeast industrial area. The master plan encourages expansion of uses in this area with transitional light industrial zoning. Employers in this district require general laborers and machine operators.
The industrial park on Capital Street
Oak Park's public works department is located on Capital Street in the city's industrial park. The park holds light industrial buildings just minutes from our office.
