• Maintain a clean, organised, and safe work environment every shift, proactively identifying and addressing hazards and referring all workplace injuries immediately to the Air Hub Manager
• Liaise with internal teams including the fulfilment centre, sort centre, ATS, and AvSec to ensure smooth end-to-end operations, coordinating with the airline for any disruptions to scheduled departures
• Create and send a daily End of Shift report covering all operational activity
• Identify opportunities to streamline operations and conduct regular analysis of processes to prevent recurrence of issues
• Communicate status updates, delays, risks, and other issues to the Air Hub Manager
