Planning Officer for 3rd Helicopter Squadron

We defend Sweden, the country's interests, our freedom, and our right to live as we choose. The Armed Forces exist to protect Sweden in times of war and crisis, and the 3rd Helicopter Squadron in Ronneby is an important part of Sweden's maritime helicopter capability. Our mission towards the Navy is unique, and we are in an exciting growth phase.

The staff at the 3rd Helicopter Squadron is now looking for a planning officer.

About the Unit:

The 3rd Helicopter Squadron operates at Blekinge Air Force Base in Ronneby. We are one of four squadrons and belong to the Helicopter Wing in Linköping. At the squadron in Ronneby, we have about 190 employees. Our unit is housed in modern facilities where the entire squadron is gathered in a common building. Our development and growth provide many opportunities for you as an employee. The squadron's mission is primarily focused on maritime operations, which involves close cooperation with the Navy.

Job Responsibilities:

You will be part of the squadron's staff in the role of planning officer. You will mainly participate in preparations and planning of the squadron's activities in the long term, with a strong focus on exercise planning, but also partly in the execution phase. As a planning officer, you need to be structured and able to create an overview of future phases in order to create orders and decision-making materials for the squadron's leadership. Writing orders and producing other documents is a central task that requires the ability to express oneself in writing as well as to understand what is important in higher command orders and directives. Your daily tasks will primarily be carried out at the 3rd Helicopter Squadron at Blekinge Air Force Base, but travel and participation in activities outside the base may occur. You should also be prepared to work as a general staff member outside your regular area of responsibility.
