Vacant job

As an operator at the 135th Security Squadron, you will work within military security services, focusing on the collection of security intelligence aimed at indicating and identifying suspected security threats to the Swedish Armed Forces' protected assets.

In this position, you will work on a highly relevant task with a constantly changing threat landscape. The work is long-term and conducted with high discretion. As a person, you should be patient, results-oriented, and possess a high capacity for creative thinking.

We are looking for an SO6-7 for this position, but if you are a driven OR4-5 with relevant experience and have your sights set on becoming an SOU (Officer Candidate) in the near future, we also encourage you to apply.

Main Responsibilities

The daily work is varied and includes everything from training and education to the execution of operational activities. A key part of the role is also the development of operations within your future area of responsibility.

As a communications operator, you are responsible for supporting the operational units during operations regarding communications equipment and how it should be utilized. Furthermore, you are responsible for the development and training within the communications service at the unit.

Desirable Personal Qualities

We place great emphasis on personal qualities and are looking for someone who is secure, has a strong sense of responsibility, and good initiative. Additionally, you should have a high stress tolerance and be accustomed to changing environments, as the operational task is very dynamic.

As an employee here, you are expected to take initiative and be able to implement the meaning of your own decisions while evaluating their consequences in a broader operational context. You should be able to work autonomously without direct supervision and make decisions based on previously established frameworks that constantly strive toward the overall goal.

We see you as someone who unites a group and contributes to the development of others in a humble manner, where individual differences and competencies are strengthened to build a powerful whole.

Since you will handle security-classified information in this role and the work as a whole is subject to significant confidentiality, we look for someone with high personal maturity and strong integrity who is not driven by a need for external validation.
