About the Position

The Swedish Armed Forces' Technical and Maintenance Office Logistics (TVK Log) is seeking a driven and development-oriented manager for the material department. The department encompasses material areas such as personal equipment, medical equipment, general maintenance equipment, fuel equipment, field catering equipment, and climbing equipment.

The role includes overall responsibility for coordinating, organizing, and following up on the department's work, ensuring relevant agreements, as well as establishing and managing material maintenance and sustainment plans to enable availability within the department's material areas.
