Cargo officers are required to ensure the safe and efficient handling and storage of the baggage on airplanes. They have to come up with a proper plan on how to load the cargo and supervise the handlers that are putting the baggage on the ramps. They check the equipment and see if it is working in good condition and the luggage is handled according to the defined rules and regulations. Maintaining the on-time performance to avoid any delays in loading and unloading of baggage is also in the cargo officer job description. The seniors can be asked to delegate duties to the junior staff by providing them with adequate instructions.
