About the Unit
TVK Log is a central actor within the Swedish Armed Forces' logistics management. We are responsible for ensuring that supplies and materiel are available and meet the needs of combat units – in peace, crisis, and war. This also means that we create the prerequisites required for the Swedish Armed Forces' endurance, in areas such as fuel, food, and ammunition.
The unit consists of approximately 120 employees with broad competence in technology, logistics, and management. TVK Log consists mainly of civilian personnel with an even distribution between women and men. The management is located in Boden, but we are represented in several locations across the country.

Together with the section's engineers, you will also carry out maintenance control, ensuring that the materiel is stored correctly and maintains good quality from delivery to decommissioning.
You will work with analyses and preparations, system monitoring regarding availability and status, requisition and purchasing, as well as other case handling within the scope of your area of responsibility. You also have a supporting function and collaborate closely with other roles within your own section and department. Collaboration with both internal customers and requirement setters, as well as other relevant authorities and suppliers, is also part of the role.
