The 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. For the Armed Forces' units to operate, they need functioning materials, and for that, FMTS plays an important role.

FMTS has a functional responsibility for the technical service within the Armed Forces, which includes following technological developments to anticipate future needs and propose 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 efforts that affect other people's lives, both in big and small ways, both at home and around the world.

In the Armed Forces, there is 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.

The Armed Forces harness the qualities that diversity and equal gender distribution bring to the organization. Therefore, we welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences in our recruitments. Employment with us means placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security review 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 employment also includes an obligation to serve abroad, but the implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

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