Information about the Armed Forces and the Recruiting Unit:

The Naval Base's overarching task is to support the naval units with logistics such as transportation, basing, surveillance, and medical care, both at home and abroad. The Naval Base has its headquarters in Karlskrona but operates where there is a need, for example in Berga/Muskö, south of Stockholm, and in Gothenburg. Other major tasks for the Naval Base include monitoring Sweden's 2700 km long coastline with territorial waters.

Every day and every hour, our employees make efforts that affect other people's lives, both in large and small ways, and both at home and around the world.

In the Armed Forces, there is a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good opportunities for internal career mobility, wellness, and a good balance between work and private life.

Employment with us means placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. Security clearance with background checks will be conducted before employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be placed in wartime. The implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

When applying for employment, a CV and personal letter must be attached. If you proceed in the hiring process, always verified copies of grades and certificates must be presented.

Calls from external recruitment companies and salespeople are not welcome.
