This role requires proactive problem-solving, effective staff management, and adherence to safety protocols at all times.

Oversee staff performance, addressing and documenting shortfalls, and providing clear instructions and corrective actions when necessary.
Mentor new staff, providing clear expectations and goals, empowering them to succeed in their roles.
Coordinate operations during disruptions, such as aircraft delays, cancellations, infrastructure upgrades, and weather conditions, ensuring minimal impact on operations.
Proactively identify upskilling opportunities and allocate resources to meet evolving operational requirements.
Conduct training sessions for staff, including upskilling and retraining to address performance issues.
Allocate resources in line with the Company’s Enterprise Agreement, managing leave entitlements, monitoring staff fatigue, and ensuring overtime is minimised.
Foster a safety-conscious workplace culture by facilitating regular toolbox meetings and promoting a reporting culture.
Read and interpret aircraft weight and balance loading instructions, hazardous materials labels, loading manifests, and baggage routing tags.
Ensure all staff remain compliant and up to date with all Company communications, such as "Read and Sign" documents, updates, and memos.
Ensure that ground service equipment meets safety standards, reporting defects and ensuring all staff follow the correct procedures for defect reporting.
Assist with audits by airlines and the Company, providing accurate feedback and results.
Build and maintain collaborative working relationships with Airport Authorities and key stakeholders involved in airport operations.
Assist in recruitment processes, including the assessment and onboarding of new staff.
Undertake other reasonable duties as directed by management.
Competencies:
Current Ramp Leading Hand qualifications and experience.
Respect and sensitivity towards cultural differences, treating all customers and internal staff equally and with dignity.
Demonstrated leadership qualities, providing open feedback and support to promote staff development.
Ability to remain composed and focused in high-pressure situations, making rational decisions and resolving conflicts promptly.
Analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate issues, document facts, and find solutions.
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to deliver information professionally and impartially.
Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to establish rapport and maintain professional relationships.
Adaptability and resilience in the face of change, with a positive approach to challenges.
Excellent time management and organisational skills, with attention to detail and a focus on following procedures and meeting deadlines.
High standards of personal grooming and professional deportment.
Strong sense of confidentiality and ethical behaviour.
Act as a role model, leading by example at all times.
