The Swedish Armed Forces is currently in an expansion phase and on a significant growth journey. In our close-knit and dedicated team, you will have the opportunity for personal development while contributing to the organization's daily operations and future. As a company administrator, you will thus be part of a military organization undergoing major changes due to the current global situation and Sweden's NATO membership. We at 1611 Air Defense Company are growing and are now looking for new colleagues who want to be part of our operations!
About the Unit
The 161st Combat Control and Air Surveillance Battalion is one of the Armed Forces and the Air Force's combat units. The unit is spread across Sweden with a centrally located command in the Mälardalen area. The 161st Combat Control and Air Surveillance Battalion is active around the clock, every day of the year, with operational missions for both Sweden and NATO's defense.
1611 Air Defense Company, part of the 161st Air Defense Battalion, is now recruiting a company administrator to provide administrative support primarily to the company leadership and platoon leaders, but also to the company as a whole. The company is mainly located in Bålsta and has the primary task of monitoring Sweden's airspace, asserting Sweden's territorial integrity in the airspace, and conducting air combat control of combat aircraft.
Main Responsibilities
You will support and provide administrative services to leaders within the company, primarily in operational management, personnel, finance, and case management. This may involve generating reports and statistics from various databases and preparing materials for financial planning, accounting, and follow-up. Additionally, you will prepare documents for approval in the Armed Forces' documentation management system VIDAR, register information in the Armed Forces' personnel management system, and prepare, distribute, and follow up on personnel decisions within the unit. The role also includes preparing meetings regarding bookings and notifications, taking minutes, and administering purchases.
In the Armed Forces, we always work as a team. Our organization is built on collaboration, adaptability, and a shared responsibility for the whole. This means that we are all prepared to support each other, sometimes even outside our own areas of expertise and comfort zones. Therefore, as an employee, you may occasionally face new types of tasks. This is a natural part of working in the Armed Forces, benefiting both the agency and the employee's development, and you will never be given a task without the necessary support to succeed.
