We are looking for an Operational Support Technician to join our Training Services team in Poland.

At Saab, we are constantly looking to the future and pushing the boundaries of what is technically possible. We work with colleagues from all over the world who share our challenge – to make the world a safer place.

What you will be doing

The Training & Simulation business unit develops and manufactures training systems, primarily for military users. We offer a wide range of products and services, including world-leading laser simulators for live training, force-on-target applications, virtual simulations and training services. Training & Simulation operates globally, employing over 650 people in many countries, and we are currently expanding our operations with new training facilities in Poland.

Your future challenge

Since Saab was founded, we have strived to keep people and society safe. It is a basic human need to feel safe and, as we see it, a human right. Through systems and solutions that increase security, we can make this possible.

By improving and updating technological systems and solutions, we increase security in society, for its citizens and for those whose job it is to maintain security.
