Planning Administrator for 162nd Air Base Battalion

Over the past year, the 162nd Air Base Battalion has grown as part of the development of F 16. The increase in the number and breadth of tasks means that the battalion staff will expand within several sections. With this advertisement, we are looking for a planning administrator. As a planning administrator, you will support the long-term planning for the battalion, and you will also serve as a staff resource within the battalion staff.

You will work with a driven team that plans, prepares, and leads the battalion's operational maintenance and protection of the airbase. As part of the staff, no day will be the same, and you will be involved in making the battalion better prepared for peace, crisis, and war.

About the Unit

The 162nd Air Base Battalion is part of Uppland Air Wing, F 16. The battalion consists of a battalion command, battalion staff, 1621st Air Base Company, and 1622nd Air Base Security Company, along with air traffic control. The main task of the battalion is to maintain and uphold protection around the airbase, as well as to train conscripts during parts of the year. The daily operations of the base battalion involve live operations with very short timeframes, varied with long-term planning and preparations for the deployment of the Armed Forces' new reconnaissance aircraft S106 at F 16.

Main Responsibilities

You will be a natural part of the long-term planning tasks at the battalion. This may involve independently working on the battalion's war planning, unit development, basic training/unit production, or infrastructure processes. You will independently prepare decision-making materials for the commander. Much of the work will be close to the unit, which means you will be able to see the results of your work and often receive feedback on the outcome of the implemented plan.

As a staff resource, you will also participate in the work of the battalion's internal development, annual war unit evaluations, unit development plans, and support the staff's general tasks.

Examples of tasks include:

• Planning, monitoring, and coordinating activities and orders.
• Representing the Air Base Battalion at the unit level and in various working groups.
• Collaboration within the unit as well as with external actors.
• Preparing decision-making materials for higher management.

The position includes participation in exercises and follow-up of activities, sometimes temporarily at other locations.

This means that we are all prepared to support each other, sometimes even outside our own competence and comfort zone. Therefore, as an employee, you may sometimes face new types of tasks. This is a natural part of working in the Armed Forces that serves both the authority and the employee's development well, and you will never be given a task that you do not have the means to accomplish.
