The Swedish Armed Forces Technical School (FMTS), headquartered in Halmstad, is an air force unit where technology is at the center. The unit's operations rest on three pillars – development, education, and war unit production. For the Swedish Armed Forces' units to function, they need operational equipment, and for this, FMTS is a crucial cog. FMTS has a functional responsibility for the technical service within the Swedish Armed Forces, which includes following technological development to anticipate future needs and proposing changes and improvements. Here, there are exciting development opportunities for those interested in technology, both at basic and highly advanced levels. FMTS educates officers, specialist officers, and civilian employees in technical service across all branches of the armed forces. We also train conscript soldiers in areas such as logistics. Every day and every hour, our employees make efforts that affect other people's lives, both big and small, at home and around the world. 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 opportunities, wellness programs, and a good balance between work and private life. The Swedish Armed Forces utilizes the qualities that diversity and gender balance bring to the operation. We therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences in our recruitment. An employment with us involves placement in a security class. Swedish citizenship is usually required. Security check 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, but the meaning of this varies depending on the type of position.
