About the Unit

TVK Log operates at a central level and is an important part of the logistics management within the Swedish Armed Forces. We are responsible for ensuring that logistics materials are available and meet the needs of the units. A key success factor for us in our missions is collaboration and expert competence.

The unit is divided into five departments and currently consists of about 100 employees, mainly civilian staff with an even distribution between women and men. The management is located in Boden, but we have operations in several locations across Sweden.

Collaboration will also take place with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and other external stakeholders.

Your tasks will include developing processes, routines, and methods for planning and ordering work, as well as being responsible for implementing these within the unit. Other tasks may also occur within the staff department.
