We are looking for a Platoon Leader at the Specialist Officer Training

You are the platoon leader of the specialist officer training at FMTS. You are in charge of a platoon of about 30 cadets.

The specializations in the specialist officer training are Ground Technicians in mechanics and electro/telecommunications, System and Weapon Technicians, as well as Aviation-UAV and helicopter technicians.

You participate in the cadets' education and execution in order to follow up on their performance as well as the execution of the training. Over time, you coach the cadets to see the “red thread” and their personal development towards their upcoming professional role.

Our cadets represent the entire armed forces and come from all units. As a Platoon Leader, you collaborate with the units related to the cadets' training. Since we always strive to improve, you are expected to contribute to the development of the training in the long term.

You often plan your own time and activities; through good foresight, you know in broad terms what your upcoming year will look like. You are given a large mandate and can take your own initiatives within this framework. Through your developing leadership, you are prepared to solve the tasks that close collaboration with other people entails.

Application deadline

Welcome with your application no later than 2026-01-30. Your application should include a CV and a cover letter. In the cover letter, we want you to explain why you are suitable for this position.

Applications for this position will only be accepted via the Armed Forces' website.

The Armed Forces Technical School, FMTS, based in Halmstad, is a logistics unit where technology is at the center. The unit's activities rest on four pillars – development, education, workshop, and war unit production. For the Armed Forces' units to operate, they need functioning equipment, and FMTS plays an important role in this.

FMTS has a functional responsibility for the technical service within the Armed Forces, which includes following technological developments to anticipate future needs and also propose changes and improvements.

Here, there are exciting development opportunities for those who are technically interested, both at a basic and very advanced level. FMTS trains officers, specialist officers, and civilian employees in technical service across all branches of the armed forces. In addition, soldiers are trained in logistics.

FMTS operates throughout Sweden, from Revingehed in the south to Boden in the north. Every day and every hour, our employees make contributions that affect other people's lives, both in large and small ways, both at home and around the world.

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.

The Armed Forces takes advantage of the qualities that diversity and equal gender distribution bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences in our recruitments. Employment with us implies placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security check with a register control will be conducted prior to employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be placed in wartime. The position also includes an obligation to serve abroad, but the implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

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