With us, you will work with installations, troubleshooting, upgrades, and to some extent, management of IT systems. Many tasks are performed in collaboration with other groups and organizations within the unit. You are also expected to work on design issues and product selection regarding replacements, upgrades, and exchanges of defective products.

We Offer You

The Swedish Armed Forces has a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility. The operations offer great variety and complexity and place high demands on you as an individual, which means good development opportunities and conditions for internal career mobility. Our employees have several different benefits, including;

• Competence development based on the needs of the operations and your career goals
• Three hours of training per week during working hours, training clothes and shoes, as well as entry fees
• Good balance between work and leisure with flexible working hours and 28-35 vacation days depending on your age
• Salary supplements during parental leave and VAB, as well as the opportunity to exchange vacation days for additional pension contributions

Personal Qualities

Important personal qualities are that you can work independently, have good collaboration skills, are service-oriented, quality-conscious, can quickly change pace, and have good analytical skills. The pace is sometimes high, which requires you to prioritize and work structured under time pressure. As a person, you are meticulous, proactive, security-conscious, and responsible. Since we need a person with greater experience, we would of course like you to be able to pass on that knowledge and support others in the group with your skills and experiences.
