Ceuta announces 3 Computer Science Engineer positions: deadlines and requirements 2026

Key data

Three stable public employment positions for Computer Science Engineers in the Autonomous City of Ceuta: that is what the Resolution of August 6, 2026, published in the BOE on August 13, puts on the table. The selection process will be conducted through civil service examination in open competition, which means that any graduate who meets the requirements can apply without needing to previously belong to the Ceuta administration.

The positions are classified in the Special Administration scale, Technical subscale, the category reserved for profiles with specific qualifications within the civil service. This is one of the few calls for this technical profile in the field of autonomous cities in 2026.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution formally announces the selection process to fill 3 Computer Science Engineer positions in the Autonomous City of Ceuta. The essential points are:

• The selection system is civil service examination in open competition: access open to any applicant who proves the required qualification and meets the other requirements.
• The positions belong to the Special Administration scale, Technical subscale.
• The complete regulatory bases —including requirements, syllabus and complete procedure— were published in the Official Bulletin of the Autonomous City of Ceuta no. 6627, of June 19, 2026. It is essential to consult that bulletin to know all the details of the process.
• The application submission deadline is 20 working days counted from the day following publication in the BOE, that is, from August 14, 2026.
• Subsequent announcements of the selection process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, etc.) will be published as provided in the regulatory bases themselves.

Economic and operational impact

For applicants, obtaining one of these positions means joining the civil service with stable employment and the remuneration conditions typical of the technical scale of Ceuta's Special Administration. Although the resolution does not detail the exact remuneration, Computer Science Engineer positions in public administrations usually include base salary, position supplement and specific supplement linked to the qualification group (usually Group A, Subgroup A1 or A2 depending on the required qualification).

From an operational perspective, the open competition call implies that there is no reservation of positions for internal promotion: all positions compete on equal terms among all external and internal applicants who apply.

For the Autonomous City of Ceuta itself, filling these 3 positions strengthens its technical capacity in the area of information technologies, a profile with high demand in the public sector and scarce supply of specialized candidates.

Who does it affect?

• Computer Science Engineering graduates (or equivalent recognized qualifications) seeking stable public employment.
• ICT sector professionals interested in joining the public administration.
• Applicants for technical profile civil service examinations in autonomous cities or local administrations.
• Exam candidates already preparing computer science syllabi for public administrations who want to expand their position options.
• Public employees from other administrations who wish to compete in open competition for a position in Ceuta.

Practical example

A computer science engineer with a university degree in Computer Science Engineering, residing in mainland Spain, who has been preparing for two years for ICT profile civil service examinations for local administrations, can submit his application to this Ceuta call during the 20 working days that start on August 14, 2026.

To do so, he must: (1) download and read the complete bases published in the Official Bulletin of the Autonomous City of Ceuta no. 6627, of June 19, 2026, where he will find the exact syllabus, qualification requirements and application submission procedure; (2) prepare the documentation proving his qualification and other required requirements; and (3) submit the application within the established deadline, following the channel indicated in the bases (in person or electronically, as determined by them).

If the 20 working day deadline begins on August 14, 2026, the applicant must carefully calculate the final date taking into account that non-working days (holidays and weekends) do not count, so the actual deadline will extend beyond September 3 depending on Ceuta's official calendar.

What should applicants do now?

1. Consult the complete regulatory bases in the Official Bulletin of the Autonomous City of Ceuta no. 6627, of June 19, 2026. There you will find the exact qualification requirements, the syllabus and the application procedure.
2. Calculate the application deadline: the deadline is 20 working days from August 14, 2026. Count only working days according to Ceuta's official calendar to avoid missing the deadline.
3. Prepare the documentation proving the Computer Science Engineering qualification and any other requirement demanded by the bases.
4. Submit the application in the correct form and within the deadline following the channel established in the bases (in person in the Autonomous City of Ceuta or electronically, as determined by them).
5. Monitor subsequent announcements of the selection process, which will be published as provided in the regulatory bases themselves (lists of admitted candidates, exam date and location, etc.).
