Description:
Do you thrive working at the group level as a soldier and enjoy being out in the field? Then a position with us could be right for you. F 16 is growing and we are now looking for new colleagues who want to be part of our development journey! The Radar Platoon is seeking soldiers for positions as technicians, vehicle operators, and medical personnel. About the Unit The Sensor Company, part of the Air Force's command and control and air surveillance battalion, is mobile and has the task of densifying, supplementing, and replacing infrastructure for air radio and radar with mobile systems. The Company can, on short notice, reinforce radar coverage, air radio coverage, and communications at strategic points throughout the country. Main Responsibilities As a soldier in the Radar Platoon, you will be part of a group of soldiers and specialist officers. Your colleagues in the group consist of technicians, combat medics, vehicle operators, support riflemen, and high-altitude workers. Your group leader is a specialist officer. Thus, there is high and diverse expertise in the group and good opportunities for development in daily work. The group has considerable freedom in how they choose to solve their tasks. The Radar Technician is trained in specific technical radar systems and is responsible for establishing and maintaining these systems. You provide support to the specialist officer in the group and have the opportunity to specialize in either technology or climbing. You will also have the opportunity to conduct physical training during working hours, both individually and as a group. You will have the opportunity to influence the training and lead training sessions for others. Daily operations are primarily conducted at Uppsala Garrison. However, the Company's tasks may require the group to perform work anywhere across Sweden. During these assignments, you and your group often work far from other parts of the Company. Within the Swedish Armed Forces, we always work as a team. Our organization is built on collaboration, adaptability, and shared responsibility for the whole. This means that we all are prepared to support each other, sometimes even outside our own area of expertise and comfort zone. Therefore, as an employee, you may sometimes be faced with new types of tasks. This is a natural part of working in the Swedish Armed Forces, which serves both the authority and the employee's development well, and you will never be given a task that you are not given the prerequisites to accomplish. REQUIREMENTS Qualifications Completed military basic training with passing result Multitest 175p, Field Test 13:30 min Class B Driver's License Personal Qualities The Company you are applying to is relatively small, where you will collaborate with all parts of the Company. Thus, we are seeking individuals who have a positive view of people, enjoy working in small and cohesive groups, see opportunities, and want to contribute their expertise toward a common goal. You need to be able to work independently and take responsibility for your position and the group's shared equipment. You are prepared to further develop yourself in the service in order to better contribute to the group's capabilities. You want to be involved in the decision-making process, but also be loyal to decisions made. Great weight will be placed on personal suitability.
