Do you want to work with airspace planning where it really matters?

Do you want to use your operational experience to contribute to Sweden's and NATO's defense? LFV is now looking for an experienced air traffic controller with a background in airspace planning who is ready to take the next step, from operational operations to national and international defense planning.

The position involves service with the Armed Forces at the ATM/ASM section at the Air Force Headquarters in Uppsala.

At the ATM/ASM section, you work within a broad area that includes defense planning, airspace planning for national and international exercises and operations, development of rules and methods for military air traffic control, and development of technical infrastructure for air traffic control across the entire conflict spectrum.

The work is done in close collaboration with other parts of the Armed Forces, NATO and its partners, the Transport Agency, LFV, and other actors within the framework of the integrated air traffic control service.

About the position

The Armed Forces are experiencing strong growth, with the number of live operations and exercise intensity constantly increasing. The demands for airspace planning and airspace coordination are becoming increasingly complex, with more and more actors wanting to share the space. Sweden's membership in NATO also imposes new requirements for both interoperability and planning.

Working as an airspace planner at the ATM/ASM section means you will be an important player in the Air Force's planning and execution processes where you will handle a wide range of issues related to airspace. Among other things, you will work on the development of applicable operational plans, planning airspace for military exercises and operations both nationally and internationally, development of military rules and methods, and management of permanent and temporary restriction areas.

In all matters, you are expected to represent the Armed Forces within the framework of the integrated air traffic service, where you will contribute as an expert based on your expertise. The position involves regular contact with other parts of the Armed Forces, LFV, FMV, the Transport Agency, the military aviation inspection (FlygI), several national and international organizations or authorities, and various actors within the defense industry.

The work also involves some training and information related to air traffic service, both internally and externally, where you will have an important role.

In addition, you will of course also participate in ongoing staff work such as meetings, projects, administration, experience and deviation management, and work environment efforts.

You are offered a chance to work closely with decision-making functions and to influence how military aviation is planned and executed in Sweden. The workplace is characterized by dynamism and forward-thinking, so there is really an opportunity for a stimulating work situation for the right person!
