Description
The Swedish defence industry company Saab is expanding its activity in its dockyard in Karlskrona and will hire 250 new employees to work on a new submarine currently under production. Recruitment has already started with 100 new employees hired in 2017. Another 150 posts will be filled during 2018, and 100 more in 2019. Posts will be open at least for tin-smiths, CNC-operators and service engineers.
Saab bought the dockyard from the German ThyssenKrupp in 2014 and has more than doubled the number of staff since then, from 700 to 1,500.
