About the role

At our client's company, you are welcomed into a business with strong technical competence and assignments that make a real difference. You will be part of a team of five field service technicians. Your role is based out of the office in Arboga, but the majority of your working time will be spent in the field with the company's customers, who are primarily active in the defense sector.

As a field service technician, your main responsibilities include handling the installation, inspection, repair, testing, and maintenance of advanced radar systems. The role involves traveling throughout Sweden, both independently and in teams. Some of your work is performed in masts and involves climbing, so it is important that you are comfortable working at heights. When you are not in the field, you perform tasks in a workshop environment where you prepare materials and repair equipment. The role also includes some administrative parts, such as technical documentation. You are also expected to have direct contact with the customer to plan your work and provide support. In the long run, you will also train users in the technology.

• A secure role in a growing industry

Responsibilities

• Conduct inspections and repairs of radar installations
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues on-site with customers and in a workshop environment

We are looking for you who

• Have previous experience working in a technical role where you have gained good technical/mechanical understanding and troubleshooting skills
• Are comfortable working at heights
• Have a strong technical interest
• Communicate fluently in Swedish (spoken and written), as well as comfortably in English, as this is required in daily communication
• Have Swedish citizenship, which is required as the position is security classified
• Have a B driver's license and are open to traveling within Sweden

It is an advantage if you have

• Experience with welding, material processing, blasting, or painting
• Experience or training in working at heights
• Work experience within the Swedish Armed Forces

To succeed in the role, you have the following personal qualities:

You are a curious person who thrives with a varied daily routine and enjoys traveling. You enjoy working practically with products as well as having customer contact. You like solving technical problems and take initiative to find solutions to technical challenges you may face. Since you are part of a team, we believe you are a communicative and social person who enjoys collaborating with others, while also being comfortable becoming more independent in the role in the long run.
