You’ll act as the operational guardian of the cargo product on the ground — supervising warehouse and ramp activity, ensuring customs and regulatory compliance, and driving performance against key operational metrics. This role requires attention to detail, confidence in a fast-paced warehouse and ramp environment, and the ability to influence multiple stakeholders to deliver consistently high standards.

- Supervise cargo screening, build-up and ramp transfer, ensuring full compliance with SOPs, safety standards and ACC3 requirements.
- Conduct Dangerous Goods (DG) and ULD compliance checks in line with the Cargo Operations Manual, ensuring all documentation is accurate and complete.
- Act as the central point of contact for the day’s cargo loading operation, monitoring warehouse and ramp performance and addressing any issues swiftly.
- Ensure accurate export data capture and timely completion of documentation and system inputs (including UWS, LIR and NOTOC).
- Coordinate import shipments and customs liaison, responding professionally to customer, supplier and internal queries to maintain smooth operations.
You’ll bring operational credibility, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage third-party performance in a high-pressure environment. You understand the importance of safety, compliance and brand integrity in everything you do.
