Progress chaser for the turnround (invariably in-round-out)on short layovers.
Health and Safety Rep for turnround (CAP642 refers/HSG209 refers).
DfT AAA reconciliation (AAA checked baggage security)appointed person.
Dangerous goods experienced for declared and non-declared DGR.
Delay allocator and timekeeper of the standard turnround time.
Public relations face-to-face with groundstaff/crew/3rd party providers.
Final link in the chain of accounting for accuracy in the statement of loading (including Last minute changes) and recording/reporting to the appointed mass/balance agency, PRIOR TO DOORS CLOSED/PUSHBACK authority.
NOTE; The loadsheet/trim chart/loading instruction,albeit prepared in many cases remotely nowadays (centralised load planning, ACARS) must still have a final examination for it's accuracy by the TRC and this is not a "junior role" at aircraft side, but a vital role for the safe, secure departure every time.
Although financial renumeration doesn't necessarily match this responsibility, it remains one of the most rewarding and vital ground ops roles to experience for CV development and future airline career, as TRC knowledge on-the-job is constant,varied and ever useful.
