It is an advantage if you have project management training and good knowledge of various project management models. Experience working with complex or international projects is a plus. We also appreciate if you have experience in negotiations and in preparing reports, presentation materials, and decision-making documents. If you have also worked with forecasts and financial follow-up of projects in business systems, we see that as a strength.

Personal qualities are of great importance to us.

FMV – The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration

At FMV, you contribute to making Sweden and the world safer. We are tasked with providing the Swedish Armed Forces with the latest technology and knowledge so they can defend our country and our allies. Together with competent and engaged colleagues, you will be involved in developing and procuring what sometimes does not yet exist. You drive the development all the way from needs to delivery. From idea to reality.

The Command Systems area within FMV works with today's and tomorrow's rapidly changing technology that supports the Armed Forces' soldiers, sailors, and officers in communicating with each other, gaining a better overview of the situation, and in decision-making. The technology enables everything from individual systems such as Archer, Jas 39 Gripen, Corvette Visby, and Combat Vehicle 90 to entire units to achieve maximum effectiveness but in many cases also to operate at all. The Command Systems area thus contributes to all branches of defense being able to conduct their operations and reach their full potential, thereby contributing to a stronger defense.

At FMV, you are offered a secure employment with good benefits:

• Professional development and career opportunities
• Flexible working hours and the possibility of remote work as far as the work allows
