Information about the Armed Forces and the recruiting unit:

The Armed Forces' Helicopter Wing is a unit with both land and maritime operational focus that can operate in missions in Sweden and internationally.

Helicopter support is requested by many, for example, for personnel, material, or medical transport, command, reconnaissance, or surveillance missions. The Helicopter Wing therefore often participates in missions and exercises with other units but also as support to society in various crisis situations.

Our operations span across Sweden, the breadth of tasks, and the size of the wing with over 950 employees provide a variation in work and opportunities for personal development. The majority of the Helicopter Wing is located in Linköping (Malmen), where we also manage Malmen Airport and Linköping Garrison, with two large units in Luleå (Kallax) and Ronneby (Kallinge).

Please read more at the Armed Forces (https://www.forsvarsmakten.se/hkpflj).

Every day and every hour, our employees make contributions that affect the lives of others, both in large and small ways, and both at home and around the world.

The Armed Forces have a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good opportunities for internal career mobility, wellness, and a good balance between work and private life.

Employment with us means placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security clearance with a background check will be conducted before employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be placed in wartime. The implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

When applying for employment, a CV and a personal letter must be attached. If you proceed in the recruitment process, certified copies of diplomas and certificates must always be presented.

Calls from external recruitment companies and sellers are not welcome.
