Our Workplace
The work pace is periodically high, and you are expected to handle multiple tasks in parallel and take significant personal responsibility as you learn the job. You will periodically have readiness for national operations. We offer driven colleagues and a developing environment within one of the Swedish Armed Forces' most cutting-edge and prioritized units.
Main Tasks
You will begin your service at the company with a basic course spanning approximately 9 months.

During the basic course, you will be trained in various reconnaissance methods, person-based intelligence gathering, and technical sensors.
Boat commanders undergo a similar basic course as others but are simultaneously trained to operate the company's smaller fast vessels in all weather conditions, around the clock.
After completing the basic course, you will be placed in one of two operational platoons where you will receive in-depth training, specialization, and further position-specific education.
When not on mission, you will exercise within your unit, drive the development of your function, and continue your education. In your application, you can choose which position you are interested in - Security Intelligence Soldier or Boat Commander. You can choose both.
