About the Unit

The Communication Department consists of four Communication Centers (SbC), an International Communication Center, a Signals Protection Section, and a Communication Section that supports the Headquarters (HKV) and the branches of the Armed Forces in Enköping, Uppsala, and Muskö. The mission of SbC AST is to serve the operations of the Army Staff related to communication security and signals protection. The Communication Center is in a phase of change, and the work will largely focus on creating a cohesive team whose main task is to provide solution-oriented service to the Army Staff. The job requires a strong drive and the ability to adapt to organizational changes. We are a small team that works closely together to solve our tasks in the best way, so your ability to be a good team player is fundamental. The position demands high accuracy, a strong security mindset, and a strong sense of order.

Main Responsibilities

As the Signals Protection Officer, you will be responsible for supporting the various tasks and readiness tasks that the section has towards the Army Staff.

The work involves both internal and external contacts, which requires very good collaboration skills and social competence. You are technically interested and self-sufficient in planning and organizing your work. To thrive with us, it is important that you are responsible, security-conscious, structured, and proactive. The workload varies greatly, so when it is high, you need to be able to see the big picture while also having an eye for detail.
