Observer for the Swedish Customs Intelligence Department in Malmö

Do you want a responsible and interesting job where you have the opportunity to contribute to creating a safe and secure society? Then the job within the Swedish Customs Intelligence Department is for you.

The Swedish Customs has the mission to stop or seriously disrupt organized crime and to prevent the illegal importation of narcotics and doping agents, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, and other goods that threaten life, health, and the environment.

The Swedish Customs is creating a new organizational structure to work even more efficiently and flexibly. In the new organization, the operational activities of the Swedish Customs will be divided into four departments: Control, Revenue Collection, Intelligence, and Customs Crime.

The Intelligence Department handles intelligence and risk analysis and must have the ability to work with intelligence activities across all parts of the Swedish Customs' mission, including both restrictions and revenue collection.

The department is divided into four units with geographical responsibility: South, West, East, and North. The department also includes the Swedish Customs Selection Center (TSC) and the unit for strategic analysis and national desk.

We are now looking for an observer to work with intelligence gathering for the intelligence unit in Malmö.

Your work will largely involve working with secret coercive measures.

As an employee of the Swedish Customs, it is important that you are professional and work according to our values and that you consider the entire Swedish Customs.

• Basic training in Swedish Customs law enforcement or equivalent training obtained in another state law enforcement agency

• Good ability to express yourself well in Swedish and English in speech and writing
• Computer skills and the ability to independently use basic computer programs in the Office suite to report, document, and present

• Experience working with targeted surveillance within law enforcement
• Experience working with investigative activities within law enforcement.

Personal qualities

The work requires you to be a stable and secure person with a high security mindset. Your ability to collaborate is good, and you should have the ability to read and handle various situations that arise. As an observer, you will work in a smaller group, so it is important that you are genuinely interested in working in a team and developing together with other employees in the group. You should also have the ability to work independently. You can handle working under stressful conditions where you need to make quick decisions with good judgment. In the role of observer, flexibility and initiative as well as an interest in technical aids are also required.

You should be able to treat people with respect and understanding, have good judgment, and be a good representative of the Swedish Customs both internally and externally. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

The operations are diverse, which places high demands on you to be both flexible and prepared to perform both routine work and more qualified tasks. The operations are in constant development, and improvement work is part of everyday life.
