83 fixed public employment positions in the AGE 2026: M1 and E2 groups, specialties and process keys

Key data

The Under-Secretariat convenes in July 2026 a selective process with 83 fixed labor positions in the General State Administration, classified under the IV Single Collective Agreement for labor personnel of the AGE. The call, published in the BOE on July 9, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-14916), opens two access routes: opposition for the open competition and competitive examination for internal promotion.

For those working in technology, telecommunications or who have spent years in the Administration seeking to consolidate their position, this is the most relevant call of the year in the fixed labor field of the AGE.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes a selective process to fill 83 fixed labor positions distributed among professional groups M1 and E2 of the IV Single Collective Agreement of the AGE. The specialties convened are as follows:

The process is structured in two modalities according to the type of access:

• Open competition: opposition system.
• Internal promotion: competitive examination system.

A specific quota for persons with disabilities equal to or greater than 33% is reserved, with reasonable accommodations in the tests. Documentary processing may be required by exclusively electronic means.

A relevant element for applicants: scores obtained in passed exercises with a score above 60% are retained and valid for the immediate next call, which reduces the risk of losing the work done in case of not obtaining a position in this edition.

Economic and operational impact

From the perspective of applicants, obtaining a fixed labor position in the AGE means accessing a stable employment relationship subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement, with the remuneration, working hours and career development conditions it establishes.

For organizations and companies in the technology and telecommunications sector, this call has an indirect impact: the AGE competes in the labor market for specialized technical profiles in telecommunications and computer systems, which may affect talent availability in the private sector.

From an operational perspective, the most relevant aspects are:

• The process has a maximum duration of one year from publication in the BOE (that is, until July 9, 2027 as the deadline).
• Exclusively electronic processing means that applicants must have digital means and electronic certificate or equivalent to manage their participation.
• The retention of scores above 60% for the next call reduces the opportunity cost for those who do not obtain a position in this edition.

Who does it affect?

• Citizens aspiring to fixed labor public employment in the General State Administration, especially in technical profiles.
• Telecommunications and computer technicians and professionals seeking job stability in the public sector (76 of the 83 positions are for this specialty).
• Temporary or interim labor personnel of the AGE who want to consolidate their position through the internal promotion route (competitive examination).
• Persons with recognized disabilities equal to or greater than 33% who opt for the reserved quota with accommodations in the tests.
• Graphic Arts and Agricultural sector professionals interested in joining the Administration.
• ICT and telecommunications sector companies that may be affected in the recruitment of technical talent due to competition from the public offer.

Practical example

A telecommunications technician with experience in the private sector decides to apply for the open competition of the specialty of Telecommunications and Computer Systems, where 76 positions are offered. He takes the opposition tests and, although he does not obtain a position in this call, he passes one of the exercises with a score of 68% (above the 60% threshold). Thanks to the score retention clause, that grade is saved and will be automatically valid in the immediate next call, without needing to repeat that exercise. This allows him to focus his preparation on the pending exercises and improve his chances in the next edition.

On the other hand, an active temporary labor employee of the AGE can opt for the internal promotion route through the competitive examination system, which values both accredited merits and selective tests, offering him a differentiated path compared to the open competition.

What should applicants do now?

1. Verify the access requirements for groups M1 and E2 of the IV Single Collective Agreement of the AGE and confirm that they are met before starting preparation.
2. Identify the appropriate specialty and route: open competition (opposition) or internal promotion (competitive examination), depending on the current employment situation in the Administration.
3. Prepare digital documentation: processing may be exclusively electronic, so it is necessary to have an operational digital certificate or electronic ID.
4. Check the disability reserve quota if you have a recognized disability equal to or greater than 33%, to request reasonable accommodations in the tests.
5. Review the call bases in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-14916) to know the exact deadlines for submitting applications, syllabi and evaluation criteria.
6. Keep in mind the maximum deadline of the process: the process cannot exceed one year from July 9, 2026, which marks the time horizon for preparation.
