- Key responsibilities
-

- Supervise transloading — be physically present for the destuffing of coastal containers and the restuffing of cargo into export containers at the CFS / ICD / port. No stuffing to happen unsupervised.

- - Tally and quality check — verify carton / tin / bottle count against the packing list, maintain a tally sheet, and immediately report shortage, damage, leakage or wet cartons with photographs.

- - Container inspection before stuffing — check export containers for food-grade fitness: dry, clean, odour-free, no holes (light test), sound door gaskets. Reject unfit containers and demand replacement.

- - Seals and numbers — record and cross-verify container numbers, line seal and customs seal numbers against the documents.

- - Supplier coordination — coordinate daily with the supplier / refinery teams at Kandla–Mundra (Emami Agrotech, Gokul Agro) for material readiness, delivery orders and pick-up scheduling.

- - Port and agency coordination — liaise with the CHA, transporter, CFS, shipping line and inspection agencies; follow up on Form 13 / gate-in, VGM, shipping bill, LEO and container placement.

- - Protect against detention and demurrage — track free days, gate-in cut-offs and vessel cut-offs, and escalate early so that no container is shut out and no detention, demurrage or ground rent is incurred.

- - Third-party inspection — attend loading supervision,



sampling and inspection with agencies such as Bureau Veritas / SGS where required.

- - Daily reporting — send a written daily report with photographs to the Kolkata head office: containers stuffed, containers pending, issues raised, and next-day plan.

- - Local work at Mundra / Kandla — document collection and submission, labour gang coordination, follow-up with port and CFS offices, and any other work assigned by the company at the location.

- Candidate requirements (must-have)

- 2–6 years of hands-on experience at a port, CFS, ICD, or with a CHA / freight forwarder / exporter, with direct experience of supervising container stuffing.

- Must own a two-wheeler (or car) and hold a valid driving licence. The role requires frequent travel between Mundra and Kandla (approx. 60 km apart) and availability at either port at short notice. Fuel and travel are reimbursed.

- Based in — or willing to relocate to — Gandhidham / Adipur / Anjar / Mundra.

- Fluent in Gujarati and Hindi; basic English sufficient for email reporting.

- Comfortable with WhatsApp, email and basic MS Excel; able to take explicit photographs and file readable, accurate reports.

- Genuinely a field job: long hours outdoors at port and CFS yards, including odd hours and weekends when a vessel cut-off is close.
