About the unit

Älvsborg Amphibian Regiment is responsible for the war-force production of the 5th Amphibian Battalion, the 17th Patrol Boat Company, and the Naval Military Base Gothenburg.

We are now looking for a Training Officer for the Planning Department (G5) at the regimental staff, specifically within the War Force Section (KFS). The work is carried out in collaboration with a section consisting of eight colleagues. KFS works closely with G5, the staff's other departments (G0–G10), and all war forces.

Examples of some of KFS's tasks:

• Leads and coordinates the maintenance and development work of the war forces.
• Leads and coordinates the refresher training work of the war forces.
• Leads and coordinates the mobilization work of the garrison and war forces.
• Leads and coordinates the infrastructure needs of the war forces regarding the war organization.
• Leads and coordinates the material needs of the war forces regarding the war organization.
• Leads and coordinates the war posting work of the war forces.

Main responsibilities of the Training Officer

• Supports the work of the rest of the section.

You will also work with long-term planning, war force assessment at battalion and/or brigade level, and gain a good understanding of Amf 4 and the Gothenburg garrison.

Description of the Training Officer position:

The Training Officer is part of KFS, where the main work revolves around RU. Within the framework of this work, close collaboration with other parts of the section is required. Since the section is structured as "a staff within a staff," certain preparations require all personnel on the section to participate in the preparation work within various planning frameworks. However, the majority of the work is done in collaboration with the Personnel Officer and the Conscript Handler. The Training Officer is responsible for long-term planning of RU (13 years), exercise planning responsibility, and participates in exercise leadership during execution, for example as deputy exercise leader. You must be prepared to solve additional tasks upon request from higher command within your own area of responsibility and competence.

REQUIREMENTS

Qualifications

Personal qualities

The role of Training Officer means that you can independently, and in collaboration with others, carry out long-term planning as well as lead and conduct exercises and training.

Performance requirements are according to current planning frameworks, where the activity must result in the war forces having the correct combat readiness at the right time. Furthermore, high integrity, a solution-oriented mindset, and precision in the execution of tasks are required. You are meticulous and unpretentious, which also means you are a good team player. You have a good ability to express your opinions, are clear and communicative in your collaboration with many different actors in various processes.
