About the Unit

METOCC, the Swedish Armed Forces Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre, is part of F 16 and is located in Enköping. METOCC's main task is to produce weather forecasts and oceanographic forecasts for military units and staffs around the clock to increase the operational safety and effectiveness of the Armed Forces. METOCC also conducts work in education and development as well as in the fields of climatology/climatological studies and space weather. Approximately 30 officers (defense meteorologists) and about 30 civilian employees (meteorologists, oceanographers, systems engineers, administrators, weather administrators) work at METOCC across three departments. We have roughly equal numbers of women and men, making us one of the most gender-equal units in the Armed Forces. We are now looking for a civilian employee to work within the METOCC staff.
