Information about the Swedish Armed Forces and the recruiting unit:

The Swedish Armed Forces are undergoing extensive development work to build a stronger defense in light of a deteriorating global situation and a new defense political direction focusing on national defense. Leadership for a stronger defense aims to increase robustness, simplify command and obedience relationships, and through decentralization of mandates and responsibilities, increase the conditions for mission tactics.

In the Swedish Armed Forces, there is a strong value foundation based on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good opportunities for internal career mobility, wellness, and a good balance between work and private life.

Employment with us means placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security review with a background check will be conducted before employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment includes an obligation to be placed in wartime. The implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

With your application for employment, a CV and a personal letter must be attached. If you proceed in the employment process, certified copies of diplomas and certificates must always be presented.

Calls from external recruitment companies and salespeople are not welcome.
