Architecture Technician Position at UJA 2026: Requirements, Deadlines and How to Apply

Key data

The University of Jaén announces, through the Resolution of July 16, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-16063), a selective process to fill 1 position for Medium Grade Technician with an Architecture profile, classified in Group A, Subgroup A2. Access is open and the system is competitive examination. If you have a university degree in Architecture and are looking for stability in public employment, this announcement opens a window with a very tight deadline.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces a selective process through the general system of open access by means of competitive examination. This means that the selection combines an examination phase (tests) and a competition phase (merit evaluation), in the order and with the weight established by the complete announcement.

The key aspects regulated by the resolution are as follows:

Open access means that any citizen who meets the requirements can apply, without needing to previously belong to any body or scale of the administration.

Economic and operational impact

For the selected candidate, obtaining this position means accessing a permanent civil servant position in Subgroup A2, one of the highest levels of university administration and services personnel. Remuneration in this subgroup includes base salary, seniority bonuses and specific supplements set by the University of Jaén, with the stability and rights inherent to public service.

From an operational perspective, candidates should note that:

• The application is exclusively electronic: paper or in-person applications are not accepted.
• The 20 working days deadline is strict. Submitting the application outside the deadline results in automatic exclusion from the process.
• Candidates with disabilities equal to or greater than 33% can request time and means accommodations for taking the tests.
• Tests will not begin before October 1, 2024, which provides time to prepare for the examination phase.

Who does it affect?

• Graduates with a University degree with an Architecture profile.
• Graduates in Technical Architecture.
• Graduates in Technical Engineering with equivalent specialty.
• Graduates in equivalent recognized Diploma.
• Candidates with disabilities equal to or greater than 33% who meet the qualification requirements.

Practical example

Imagine you are a technical architect with several years of experience in the private sector and have been looking for a way into public employment. The announcement is published on July 23, 2026. You have exactly 20 working days to submit your application electronically through the electronic office of the University of Jaén.

If your recognized disability is equal to or greater than 33%, you can indicate it in your application and request the necessary accommodations (for example, additional time) to take the tests. Once admitted, tests will not begin before October 1, 2024, so you have that period to prepare both the examination phase and the documentation of merits for the competition phase.

If you pass the process, you access a permanent civil servant position in Subgroup A2 of the University of Jaén, with all the remuneration guarantees and stability that this entails.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify your qualification: Check that your degree (Bachelor's, Technical Architecture, Technical Engineering or equivalent Diploma) meets the requirements stated in the announcement.
2. Calculate the exact deadline: The 20 working days deadline begins on July 23, 2026. Subtract holidays and weekends to know the actual submission deadline.
3. Prepare the electronic application: Access the electronic office of the University of Jaén with a digital certificate or electronic ID. Paper applications are not valid.
4. Document your disability if applicable: If you have a recognized disability equal to or greater than 33%, include it in your application and indicate the accommodations you need for the tests.
5. Consult the complete announcement in the BOE: Review all the details of the process (syllabus, phases, merit scoring) in the official resolution (BOE-A-2026-16063).
6. Prepare for the examination phase: Tests will not begin before October 1, 2024, which provides time to study the syllabus and gather merits for the competition phase.
