The Swedish Armed Forces Technical School, FMTS, headquartered in Halmstad, is a logistics unit where technology is at the center. The unit's activities rest on four pillars – development, education, workshop, and war unit production. For the Armed Forces' units to operate, they need functioning equipment, and FMTS plays an important role in that.

FMTS has a functional responsibility for technical services within the Armed Forces, which includes following technological developments to anticipate upcoming needs and also suggesting changes and improvements.

There are exciting development opportunities for those who are technically interested, both at a basic and a very advanced level. FMTS educates officers, specialist officers, and civilian employees in technical services across all branches of defense. In addition, soldiers are trained in logistics.

FMTS operates throughout Sweden, from Revingehed in the south to Boden in the north. Every day and every hour, our employees make contributions that affect the lives of others, both in large and small ways, both at home and around the world.

In the 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 conditions for internal career mobility, wellness, and a good balance between work and private life.

The Armed Forces take advantage of the qualities that diversity and a balanced gender distribution bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences in our recruitments. Employment with us involves placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security screening with a background check will be conducted before employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be placed in a war situation. The nature of this obligation to serve abroad varies depending on the type of position.

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