Electromechanic for Technical Department at F 7

Are you someone who has worked in the repair or troubleshooting of electronic systems but now wants to move forward and educate others in your field? We are looking for an Electromechanic for the Technical Department at F 7.

The technical department coordinates technical services for ground and base equipment within the garrison. The department is divided into a technical customer reception (TKM), which is the garrison's main reference regarding equipment maintenance for ground and base equipment, technical system support (TSS), which is the garrison's competence center with deep knowledge of existing equipment systems within the garrison, and a mechanics school (MekS), which is responsible for training both employed personnel and conscripts on technical systems.

As an Electromechanic, you will work alongside civilian employees, soldiers, and professional officers from various backgrounds, all working towards the same goal of conducting good and efficient repairs and training on ground-based equipment such as generators, vehicles, and field maintenance equipment. To support the unit with assistance and repairs, various competencies and individuals who complement each other are needed. We are now looking for an individual who has previously worked with troubleshooting/repairs of electrical systems, preferably within larger generators or automation. However, this is not a requirement; a basic understanding of electrical systems and a willingness to learn are just as important.

Personal Qualities

As a person, you are proactive, social, responsible, and a team player. You enjoy seeing others develop. You understand the connection between what you convey and how it is perceived and develop others' abilities. Flexibility beyond your own area of responsibility is a necessity, both to support in other areas of expertise and to solve various forms of joint tasks, such as designing new courses, recruitment work, or unit exercises.
