Operator at 135th Security Squadron

As an operator at the 135th Security Squadron, you will work within the military security service with a focus on gathering security intelligence aimed at indicating and identifying suspected security threats to the Armed Forces' protected assets.

In your employment, you will work on a highly relevant task with a constantly changing threat landscape. The work is very long-term and conducted with high discretion. As a person, you should be patient, results-oriented, and have a high capacity for creative thinking.

Main Responsibilities

The daily work is varied and includes everything from training and education to the execution of operational activities. An important part is also the development of operations within your future area of work.

As a communications officer, you will be responsible for supporting the operational units during operations regarding communication means and how they should be utilized. Furthermore, you will be responsible for development and training within the communication service at the unit.

The employment begins with approximately a 6-month basic course, after which you will be placed in a suitable position based on your results. Position-specific training will commence after the common basic course.

Desired Personal Qualities

We are looking for a confident person with a strong sense of responsibility and good initiative. Furthermore, you should have a high tolerance for stress and be accustomed to changing environments as the operational task is very dynamic.

As a colleague with us, you are expected to take initiative and be able to implement the meaning of your own decisions and assess their consequences in a broader operational context. You should be able to work autonomously without direct supervision and make decisions based on previously given frameworks that constantly strive towards the overarching goal.

We see you as a person who unites a group and contributes to the development of others in an unpretentious way, where individual differences and competencies are strengthened and build a powerful whole.
