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

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

Here, there are exciting development opportunities for those who are technically interested, both at a basic and very advanced level. FMTS trains officers, specialist officers, and civilian employees in technical services across all branches of the armed forces. 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 other people's lives, both in large and small ways, both at home and around the world.

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.

The Swedish Armed Forces harness the qualities that diversity and gender balance bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences in our recruitment. Employment with us means placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security clearance with a background check will be conducted prior to employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be placed in wartime. The employment also includes an obligation to serve abroad, but the implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

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