Information about the Swedish Armed Forces and the recruiting unit:

The Swedish Armed Forces are undergoing extensive development work to build a stronger defense against the background of a deteriorated international situation and a new defense political direction with a focus on national defense. Leadership for a stronger defense aims to increase robustness, simplify command and control conditions, and increase the prerequisites for mission tactics through decentralization of mandates and responsibilities.

As part of this work, the Swedish Armed Forces have organized a Naval Staff for the leadership of the Naval units. The Naval Staff is established in Muskö in Haninge Municipality.

In the Swedish Armed Forces, there is a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good conditions for internal career mobility, wellness, and a good balance between work and private life.

An employment with us implies placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required.

Security screening with register control will be conducted before employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment entails an obligation to be war-placed. The employment also includes an obligation to serve abroad. The meaning of this varies depending on the type of position.

A CV and personal letter must be attached to the application for employment. If you proceed in the employment process, certified copies of grades and certificates must always be presented.

Talks from external recruitment agencies and sellers are declined.
