Application Deadline

Welcome with your application by 2026-01-09. Your application should include a CV and a cover letter explaining why you are suitable for this position.

I 19 is one of Sweden's largest regiments with operations in Boden, Kiruna, Tåme, and Grubbnäsudden/Lomben. The main location and leadership for the regiment is in Boden.

The regiment's most important task is to build combat units, and in the coming years, I 19 will gradually develop the new Norrbotten Brigade. By 2028, the regiment should be able to train, stockpile, and mobilize the entire brigade, including the associated functional units: command, field operations, air defense, and logistics. The brigade should be able to fight in all environments but be specialized for combat in the subarctic environment of the Nordic region.

The regiment also hosts the Armed Forces' winter unit, which is tasked with coordinating and supporting the development of the Armed Forces' winter capability.

The conscription training is conducted at the Norrbotten Armored Battalion, which is responsible for training and maintaining units for the Norrbotten Brigade. The regiment also consists of the regimental staff, Defense Health, Garrison Support Unit, Logistics Unit, and Local Planning Unit.

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

The Armed Forces offer you the opportunity to develop as a person and grow in your professional role. We are a responsible employer and have an open organization where we support each other.

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 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 a war position. 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 employment process, certified copies of grades and certificates must always be presented.
