Develop the Swedish Armed Forces Artillery

Do you want to help develop the Swedish Armed Forces artillery at a time when competence, leadership, and decisiveness are more important than ever? A 8 is looking for professional and reserve officers for the basic organization who want to make a difference and contribute to a stronger defense - every day.

Implementation Department, G037

You will belong to the A 8 regiment staff and work at the Implementation Department (G037), which is staffed by officers, civilians, and soldiers. In addition to G3, which you will belong to, the department includes a staff department (G0), training/exercise department (G7), and information department (G9). Like others in the department, you will also be a staff resource within the regiment staff, solving other assigned tasks as needed.

Personal Qualities

Your role as a staff officer requires you to be flexible, cooperative, and stress-resistant. You should be able to represent A 8 as well as the Armed Forces during national and international visits with integrity and proper personal conduct. You should have good argumentative skills based on a correct fact-based background and the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. This requires you to be methodical and organized in your work approach.

You thrive in a varied work environment. Much of the work is carried out together with colleagues as many tasks involve more than one department, DUC, or even unit. This variation in tasks and pace means you need to take responsibility for your own time and be able to work independently. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
