About the role
A cargo operations agent controls physical cargo as it enters, moves through and leaves an operational facility. The panel is looking for safe handling, traceable records and the confidence to pause acceptance or movement when packaging, labels, equipment or instructions are not right.
How to prepare
- Review basic cargo acceptance checks, including condition, labels, count, weight and supporting information.
- Prepare an example of following a safety procedure even when work was urgent.
- Think through how location scanning or movement records prevent cargo from being lost.
- Practise giving a concise shift handover with outstanding cargo and safety issues.
- Review safe behaviour around loading areas, handling equipment and restricted zones.
Common mistakes
- Accepting damaged or poorly labelled cargo to avoid delaying a vehicle.
- Moving cargo first and planning to update its location later.
- Ignoring a safety concern because the equipment belongs to another team.
