Vacant job

The Swedish Armed Forces are in an expansion phase and on a significant growth journey. Here you have the opportunity to work in an engaged and cohesive team where you can develop while contributing to the organization's development.

About the Unit

13th Security Battalion is an operational joint forces combat unit with high material and personnel availability, capable of operating across the entire spectrum of conflict. The battalion's main task is to detect, clarify, and counter security-threatening activities in the form of foreign intelligence gathering, crime, terrorism, sabotage, and subversion directed against the Swedish Armed Forces' prioritized assets.

The battalion operates preventively through security intelligence services and security-enhancing measures. Our vision is that the 13th Security Battalion breaks the adversary's deniability and creates conditions for the entire Swedish Armed Forces to meet every threat and overcome every challenge. Do you want to contribute to increasing security at the 13th Security Battalion by working with security-enhancing measures?

We are now recruiting an Intelligence Assistant for the 315th Security Platoon

The 315th Security Platoon is part of the 13th Security Battalion, based at Air Force Base 16 (F 16) in Uppsala. The platoon handles various tasks within the framework of military security service, focusing on surveillance and collection.

You will continuously undergo training for the tasks you are expected to perform. The work involves business travel and periods of significant time away from home, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Main Responsibilities

Your duties will include structured processing of collected information, compiling and presenting information from various sources, and close collaboration with the intelligence function at the 131st Security Squadron. There is also an opportunity for further development and expanded responsibilities in adjacent areas.

Within the Swedish Armed Forces, we always work as a team. Our organization is built on cooperation, adaptability, and a shared responsibility for the whole. This means we are all ready to support each other, sometimes even outside our own competence and comfort zones. Therefore, as an employee, you may occasionally face new types of tasks. This is a natural part of working in the Swedish Armed Forces, which benefits both the agency and the employee's development, and you will never be given a task without the necessary conditions to handle it.
