Vacant job

Sweden's control of the airspace depends on technical systems and personnel active around the clock, year-round, across the country. The company's task is to ensure that these systems are operational in the right place in the country to enable the air combat forces to fight in the air. As part of the company, you are prepared to solve this task anywhere in Sweden.

As a soldier in the Mobile Company, you will be trained on the technical systems that the platoons are responsible for and the competencies required to solve the group's tasks, such as climbing for high-altitude work and support weapons. You will also have the opportunity to obtain driving licenses for heavy trucks and trailers. In the long run, you can further your education and deepen your skills through, for example, more system training, group leadership training, combat medical training, fieldwork, and extended weapons schools.

The group you will be part of consists of soldiers, specialist officers, and officers. Thus, there is high and diverse competence within the group, and the opportunities for development are good in daily work. The group has great freedom in how they solve their tasks.

Main Responsibilities

The daily operations are conducted in Uppsala, F 16. As a soldier, you will continuously further your education, maintain skills, and take care of the company's equipment. To be able to perform your duties, you will be trained in climbing for high-altitude work and vehicle authorization for trucks and trailers. You will familiarize yourself with the platoon's specific systems, which are either radar or radio systems, and how these function and are handled. The company's tasks may require the group to carry out work anywhere across Sweden. During these missions, you and your group often work far from other parts of the company. The company is small, and thus there is both a need for and good opportunities for experienced soldiers to take on responsibilities, such as instructor roles within the company, trainers for conscripts, or advanced training in the company's technical systems.
