Security Administrator

We are currently looking for a Security Administrator to join Kongsberg Maritime in Kristinehamn. This is an important role within the security function of a global technology organization, where you will contribute to creating secure and efficient processes.

As a Security Administrator, you will be part of the security team, working closely with the Security Manager and colleagues across the organization. The role is varied and combines qualified administrative work with coordination, follow-up activities, and regular interaction with employees and stakeholders.

A key part of the position is personnel security, including responsibility for planning, conducting, and documenting follow-up security screening interviews. You will also support security vetting processes for new employees and consultants. The role involves extensive collaboration, both internally and externally, including interactions with government authorities. You will work closely with HR, managers, project teams, and other key functions to ensure an effective and coordinated security framework.

In this role, you will:

  • Plan, schedule, conduct, and document security screening interviews and follow-up discussions.
  • Coordinate security vetting processes for new employees and consultants.
  • Maintain ongoing documentation, registration, record keeping, and archiving of security-related documents.
  • Provide administrative and practical support in security-sensitive projects.
  • Coordinate and follow up on security-related activities, procedures, and actions.
  • Prepare documentation for audits and inspections and support the organization in day-to-day security matters.

You will have the opportunity to take significant ownership of your responsibilities while receiving support from experienced colleagues. This role is ideal for someone who values structure and consistency, while also enjoying a balance between administrative tasks and interacting with people.

The position is based in Kristinehamn, Sweden.

About You

We are looking for someone with strong administrative skills, a natural security mindset, and a professional approach to handling sensitive information. Relevant experience may come from administration, HR, security, public sector organizations, government agencies, or other environments where confidentiality and accuracy are essential.

Previous experience in security protection is not required. The most important factors are a solid professional foundation, sound judgment, and an interest in developing within the field.

We would like you to have:

  • Experience in administrative work where structure, documentation, and follow-up are key elements.
  • Experience handling sensitive or confidential information with a high degree of integrity.
  • Good understanding of document management and administrative processes.
  • The ability to plan, prioritize, and follow up on multiple tasks simultaneously.
  • Excellent written and spoken Swedish and English.
  • Good knowledge of Microsoft Office.

This position is classified within a security-sensitive environment and requires Swedish citizenship as well as successful completion of a security clearance process.

Meritorious Qualifications

  • Experience in security protection, personnel security, or security vetting processes.
  • Knowledge of the Swedish Security Protection Act and related regulations.
  • Experience from the defense industry, government agencies, law enforcement, or other security-sensitive operations.
  • Experience conducting interviews, follow-up discussions, or other trust-based interpersonal interactions.
  • Experience with records management, handling classified security documents, or project administration.

Personal Qualities

We believe you are structured, detail-oriented, and responsible, with a natural ability to create order and manage several activities simultaneously. An interest in administrative work, combined with an understanding of the importance of accurate documentation and follow-up, is essential for success in this role.

We are also looking for someone who is attentive, communicative, and able to build trust. You enjoy meeting people from diverse backgrounds and are comfortable conducting professional conversations, even when discussing sensitive topics. Sound judgment, high integrity, and the ability to ask relevant follow-up questions are particularly valuable qualities.

The role suits a person who works independently, takes initiative, and maintains a pragmatic, down-to-earth approach to their responsibilities. Strong collaboration skills, flexibility, and a willingness to learn and develop are also important.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability and the ability to combine meticulous administration with a professional and trustworthy approach.

What We Offer

  • Flexible working hours and collective bargaining agreement, with the possibility of hybrid work when business needs allow
  • Wellness allowance and additional support for participation in fitness events
