The position is located in the logistics unit's staff, which after the summer will belong to the newly established Military Base Arboga. The staff of the Military Base needs competence in the logistics area to handle both the Military Base's logistics needs and referred units in Arboga and the surrounding area. Since the military base in Arboga is a new organization, we are looking for you who want to be part of our development journey and build something from scratch.

Main Responsibilities

As Logistics Officer in Military Base Arboga, you lead and plan logistics work at a comprehensive level.

You genuinely enjoy organizing and structuring in situations where the solution is not always obvious.

You are proactive and take the initiative to start and complete activities with good results. You are resilient and have the ability to motivate and drive colleagues to achieve set goals, even if you encounter obstacles beyond your control.

To succeed in the role, you need to have a holistic view and be comfortable challenging old truths in a constructive way. The work involves a variety of tasks that require order, flexibility, and a high degree of personal responsibility.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability and are looking for you who contribute positively to the development of the operations.
