The Fuengirola City Council announces 19 Administrative Officer positions belonging to the General Administration scale, Administrative subscale, through the competitive examination system. The resolution was published in the Official State Gazette on August 17, 2026, the date from which the application submission deadline begins to run.
This is a relevant announcement for anyone wishing to access stable public employment in the local administration of the Costa del Sol. With 19 positions at stake, it is one of the largest announcements in the municipality in recent years.
What does this announcement establish?
The announcement is structured in two differentiated categories, both through the competitive examination system:
| Category | Positions | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Open competition | 15 | Open to all candidates who meet general requirements |
| Reserved for persons with disabilities | 4 | Reserved for persons with recognized disabilities, in accordance with current regulations |
The positions belong to the General Administration scale, Administrative subscale of the Fuengirola City Council. The complete bases—which include access requirements, syllabus, selection procedure and evaluation criteria—were published in the Official Provincial Gazette of Málaga (BOP), number 148, August 3, 2026. It is essential to consult that document to know all the details of the process.
Subsequent announcements of the selection process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results) will be published as provided in the bases themselves, so candidates must pay attention to the official channels indicated in them.
Impact and opportunity for candidates
For candidates seeking public employment in the province of Málaga, this announcement represents a concrete opportunity to access a permanent position in local administration. Administrative Officer positions in the General Administration scale are among the most sought-after in local public employment due to their stability and working conditions.
From an operational perspective, the key points to keep in mind are:
- Application deadline: 20 business days counted from the day following publication in the Official State Gazette (that is, from August 18, 2026). Submitting the application outside this deadline results in automatic exclusion from the process.
- Bases in the Official Provincial Gazette of Málaga: The reference document is BOP no. 148 from August 3, 2026. That is where the requirements, syllabus and complete procedure are located.
- Selection system: Pure competitive examination, which means that access depends exclusively on the score obtained in the exercises, without a merit review phase.
- Disability quota: The 4 reserved positions are a specific opportunity for persons with recognized disabilities. The specific requirements for this category must be consulted in the bases of the BOP.
Who does this affect?
- People wishing to access administrative public employment at the Fuengirola City Council (Málaga).
- Candidates preparing for Administrative Officer positions in local administration in Andalusia.
- Persons with recognized disabilities wishing to access through the reserved category (4 positions available).
- Exam preparation academies and tutors in the province of Málaga who must inform their students.
- Human resources advisors and personnel managers of local entities that monitor public sector announcements.
Practical example
A person residing in Fuengirola who has been preparing for Administrative Officer competitive examinations for local administration for two years now has a window of 20 business days—starting August 18, 2026—to submit their application. The process they must follow is as follows:
- Download and read the bases from the Official Provincial Gazette of Málaga no. 148 from August 3, 2026 to verify that they meet all access requirements.
- Prepare the documentation required in the bases (ID, required qualifications, disability certification if applying for the reserved category, etc.).
- Submit the application within the 20 business day deadline from August 18, 2026, through the channel indicated in the bases (in-person or electronic as established by the City Council).
- Pay attention to the publication of the list of admitted and excluded candidates, which will be announced as provided in the bases themselves.
If this person has a recognized disability equal to or greater than the degree established in the bases, they can apply directly to the reserved category of 4 positions, with less competition than the open competition of 15 positions.
