The Swedish Armed Forces Technical School, FMTS, based in Halmstad, is a logistics unit where technology is at the center. The unit's activities rest on four pillars – development, education, workshop, and war unit production. In order for the Swedish Armed Forces units to operate, they need functioning equipment, and FMTS plays an important role in this.

FMTS has a functional responsibility for the technical service within the Swedish Armed Forces, which includes following technological developments to anticipate future needs as well as suggesting changes and improvements.

There are exciting development opportunities for those who are technically interested, both at a basic and very advanced level. FMTS trains officers, specialist officers, and civilian employees in technical service across all branches of defense. In addition, soldiers are trained in logistics.

FMTS operates throughout Sweden, from Revingehed in the south to Boden in the north. Every day and every hour, our employees make contributions that affect the lives of others, both in large and small ways, both at home and around the world.

In the Swedish Armed Forces, there is a strong value foundation based 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.

The Swedish Armed Forces harness the qualities that diversity and gender balance bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences in our recruitments. Employment with us entails placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security review with a background check will be conducted prior to employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be placed in a war position. The nature of this obligation to serve abroad varies depending on the type of position.

To apply for employment, a CV and cover letter must be attached. If you progress in the hiring process, certified copies of diplomas and certificates must always be presented.
