Information about the Armed Forces and the recruiting unit:

The Armed Forces is undergoing extensive development work to build a stronger defense against the backdrop of a deteriorating security situation and new defense policy direction focusing on national defense. Leadership for a stronger defense aims to increase robustness, simplify command and obedience relations, and through decentralization of mandates and responsibilities, increase the conditions for mission tactics.

As part of this work, the Armed Forces has organized a Naval Staff for the leadership of the Naval units. The Naval Staff is established in Muskö in Haninge municipality.

The Armed Forces has a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good conditions 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 a background check will be conducted before employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment includes an obligation to be placed in wartime. The implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

To apply for employment, a CV and personal letter must be attached. If you proceed in the employment process, certified copies of grades and certificates must always be presented.

Calls from external recruitment companies and salespeople are not welcome.
