Job Advertisement: Alarm Technician for the Swedish Armed Forces

The Swedish Armed Forces is in an expansion phase and on a significant growth journey. The Armed Forces' Telecommunications and Information Systems Unit (FMTIS) is now expanding its organization in Boden in the area of technical surveillance. Would you like to join us?

Technical surveillance refers to the technology with security products that replace or complement manual surveillance. Common subsystems that create technical surveillance systems include:

• Burglar alarms
• Access control systems
• Camera surveillance systems
• IT security systems

About the Position

As an alarm technician in the Swedish Armed Forces and FMTIS, you will play an important role in an agency that is experiencing strong growth. Together with competent and dedicated colleagues, you will receive responsibility, development, and challenges. This is with a flexible employer who encourages work-life balance and good health. You will have the opportunity to train during work hours, generous working time agreements, parental pay, and up to seven weeks of vacation per year.
