About us

The Defence is in a time where the security-political global situation has accelerated military-technological development, and where technology and innovation have taken a seat at the helm. There is therefore a need for new staff to operate and carry out the tasks that must be solved via new thinking and technology.

The position is located in the newly established Capacity Center 3D-print where we work to enable the use of 3D printing for operational needs, such as printing temporary spare parts, as well as supporting printers and scanners.

Here our task is to support a modern and efficient Supply Chain by handling projects within development of Supply Chain, automation, technology and analysis. We consist of about 20 employees, composed of civilian and military staff, with very different backgrounds and skills. We see this as one of our greatest strengths.
