While working Aircraft X; I failed to see a DG (Dangerous Goods) [parcel] in A2 of Aircraft X. I put [in] front in A1 so I had a support person in the [cargo compartment] who I thought would have checked before getting out. I was on [Gate] XY with a XA:00 departure. I start at XZ:00 and have to scan my first bag by XZ:22. My support help was not at the gate at the start of my loading. I started with bags because I needed to make sure I met the 38 minute required by Local management.I was called into the office by the managers and they told me there was a DG (Dangerous Good) override [error] on my flight.The event occurred because the DG was never removed from the aircraft the night before. The support person who loaded the freight in A1 did not say anything about a PPS (Priority Package Service) in A2. I was focusing on my times for 1st bag scans and the support person was not part of the huddle before I started loading the flight because he wasn't at the gate.I had to go into a [meeting] and discuss what happened.[I should] not expect someone to do what I should have done. [I should] get verification. I need more time for first trips of the day because of the external security search I'm required to perform.
Air Carrier Ramp Lead reported a Dangerous Goods loading error of a parcel inadvertently left in the cargo compartment from a previous flight. Reporter attributed the error due to time pressure; load team communication breakdown; and failure to complete external security check.
