Vacant job

The heightened security political situation that Sweden finds itself in places increasing demands on the technical systems within the navy; are you the person we are looking for who can help contribute to the availability of the Swedish Navy? The position involves working with the navy's remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV) and the various sonars and vessels of the mine clearance system. These systems are an important part of the navy's ability to keep shipping lanes and ports open. The vessels come in several different types and are either integrated ships or portable. The mine clearance equipment varies in nature and is used for, among other things, documentation of objects underwater.

The Operations Control Office (DSK), which is part of the Navy Staff's Material Office, designs and procures both service and repairs for the Armed Forces' ships and boats. With professional employees, we carry out and develop operations together with the rest of the Armed Forces and in close cooperation with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) and the industry. The department (DSK) consists of about 90 employees distributed across four locations: Karlskrona, Berga, Muskö, and Gothenburg.
