About Us

The Swedish Armed Forces Logistics (FMLOG) is responsible for logistics support to units, schools, and centers within the Armed Forces (FM) - nationally and internationally. FMLOG includes, among other things, the Armed Forces Transport Unit, which constitutes the central transport management of the Armed Forces, with functional leadership responsibility for transport services within the Armed Forces and the task of coordinating the implementation of the Armed Forces' strategic and operational transports of personnel, equipment, and entire units. Transportations are conducted as air transport, sea transport, road, and rail transport, both within and outside Sweden.

The Transport Planning Department plans, coordinates, and follows up on the Armed Forces' operational and strategic transports, transits, and compiles the FM transport situation picture on behalf of the Operations Management (OPL). The department also supports the Armed Forces Staff with expertise in the transport function.

The Development and Function Department is tasked with ensuring sufficient transport capacity for the Armed Forces. The department supports FM's strategic and operational planning (OPL and FST) with functional specialists; customs, transport protection, hazardous goods, transport agreements, LOGFAS, and support systems within transport services, as well as subject area specialists for road, rail, sea, and air.

Main Responsibilities

As the Deputy Head of Department, you have a central role in supporting the military department head in daily operations and leading employees towards set goals. Your everyday work is characterized by close leadership where you strive to create a strong team spirit and a good working environment in an organization that is in an expansive phase. You serve as an important link between your department and other parts of the Transport Unit, which means you prepare decision-making materials, process cases, and represent the operation in various projects.

The role includes extensive administrative responsibilities that span the entire personnel area. You support the head in recruitment processes, carry out personnel administrative tasks in the support system PRIO (SAP), and manage the follow-up of operations. In the absence of the department head, you are expected to step in as a decision-maker and take full responsibility for the department's deliveries. The work requires you to handle both routine administrative tasks and more complex management issues with high integrity.
