We value mutual trust, and you will have both personal responsibility and good opportunities for professional development. As an employee, you will have excellent opportunities to balance your professional and private life.

“Having a close collaboration with and being a support to the operations, with the opportunity to drive development work locally and centrally within the Air Force, has been very rewarding and educational,” says Cecilia Lindskog, who is now moving on to new challenges at F 17. Therefore, we are looking for a replacement for her position as Quality Engineer.

In the role of Quality Engineer for aircraft maintenance, you will lead the quality work within aircraft maintenance at your unit and collaborate with other units in the quality area. You will ensure that the operations comply with the regulations and directives through audits both locally at the unit and throughout the Air Force. You will drive the development of the operations locally by, for example, implementing results from audits and operational deviations.

At the Aircraft Maintenance Unit, there are two aircraft maintenance companies and one aircraft workshop company. As a quality engineer, you will work together in a team within the unit management of the Aircraft Maintenance Unit.
