Vacant job

The Life Cycle Management unit at Combitech in Karlstad, Östersund, and Örebro is in an expansion phase and is now looking for a curious and engaged leader who wants to combine leadership with consulting assignments within Integrated Logistic Support (ILS). The position is located in Karlstad, Östersund, or Örebro, and is aimed at you who want to contribute to strengthening Sweden's defense capability while developing business, operations, and people.

Your role as Consulting Unit Manager

The unit is part of the Speciality Engineering division, where approximately 365 employees work on various ILS-related assignments. We have extensive experience working within ILS/IPS/LE/LCM/RAMS in several industries, including defense, industry, and infrastructure. We work with everything from aircraft and submarines to trains, combat vehicles, and unmanned systems.

The work is characterized by variety, development opportunities, and close collaboration with both colleagues and customers. In your role as Consulting Unit Manager, you combine leadership with your own consulting assignments, which gives you a good understanding of your employees' daily work as well as a natural and close contact with customers and their needs. By participating in assignments yourself, you also have the opportunity to work with project management, analysis, studies, and preparation within the entire ILS area, further broadening your competence. The leadership role also includes responsibility for business and operational development, resource planning, and personnel matters, including development and salary discussions. The role also offers the opportunity to work with recruitment and influence how the unit grows forward.

As part of the result unit's management group, you contribute to the unit's results, strategic direction, and long-term development. We offer you the opportunity to lead a competent and experienced team in an environment with strong support from immediate managers and a high degree of openness. With us, you get varied tasks, significant influence, and the opportunity for both personal and professional development throughout your career.

Within ILS, we work with a broad spectrum of tasks ranging from ILS and LSA management, operational and maintenance analysis, and design-influencing ILS to initiatives that increase availability, safety, and efficiency in complex systems. We also work with improved maintainability, life cycle cost reduction, modeling and dimensioning of support solutions, as well as training initiatives.

The location is Karlstad, Östersund, or Örebro.

Who are you?

We are looking for you who are a university or civil engineer in a relevant technical field, or have equivalent competence through experience. To succeed in the role, we see that you have previous experience leading others, either through a formal leadership role or as a project manager in technically complex environments.

We would also appreciate it if you have experience from defense, the defense industry, ILS, RAMS, or related areas. If you have a background in defense or technology, and the right drive and curiosity, you can learn ILS with us.

You are responsible, engaged, and have a natural desire to coach and develop others. You are receptive, create involvement, and contribute to a work environment where employees thrive and perform. You thrive in close collaboration with colleagues and see the value in working long-term and proactively.

Previous experience in leadership roles within consulting, service sales, and building and developing teams is meritorious. To succeed in the role, you need to be confident in your communication and able to build long-term relationships with both employees and customers. You express yourself fluently in Swedish and English, both in writing and speech, and have good administrative skills.

As the position involves work covered by defense secrecy, it is required that you undergo and pass a security clearance with register check.

Selection will take place after the last application date due to vacation periods. We look forward to your application!
