Vacant job

Do you want to contribute to a safe, sustainable, and legally compliant operation in a socially vital organization? With us, you will have an important role where you work closely with management and supervisors to develop and support systematic operational safety work in a complex and technologically advanced environment.

About the unit and the position

FMTIS has four implementation units (GE) in Sweden that perform maintenance of the Swedish Armed Forces' command and control systems within the IT and telecommunications sector. The position is located at GE West. The unit works with maintenance of the Swedish Armed Forces' telecommunications network, electrical/mechanical, radio, sensor, and surveillance systems, as well as the installation, operation, and maintenance of a variety of IT systems.

Operational safety within the Swedish Armed Forces is a collective term for the work of preventing accidents, incidents, and injuries – for both personnel and equipment. As a case handler for operational safety, you work closely with supervisors and management in areas such as occupational health and safety, external environment, and fire safety. Work related to electrical safety and BVKF (flammable goods and chemical compounds) occurs to a limited extent, where the main responsibility lies with another specialist function. In this role, you primarily contribute by supporting these areas from an occupational health and coordination perspective, rather than being responsible for the technical or operational part yourself. The role involves driving development work, coordinating and following up on measures, and preparing decision-making materials for higher management. You will also have an important function as a quality coordinator, focusing on deviation management and follow-up – often linked to occupational health-related issues.

You are part of the GE West staff, which consists of about ten employees geographically distributed within the unit's area, mostly civilian employees. The staff supports the unit commander in areas such as personnel, security, planning, and administration.

Main responsibilities

• Provide qualified support to management regarding operational safety, such as occupational health and safety, external environment, and fire safety
• Support managers in conducting risk assessments and operational safety analyses
• Follow up and maintain routines, guidelines, and governing documents
• Collaborate with internal and external actors
• Contribute to training and competence development in the area
• Other administrative tasks within the staff

The position involves travel within the unit's area; the operations are geographically distributed within Military Region West.
