8 Forest Engineer Positions in Tenerife: Deadline and Requirements for the 2026 Competition

Key data

The Insular Cabildo of Tenerife is calling for 8 Forest Engineer positions through the competition system, published in the BOE on July 7, 2026 through Resolution of June 30, 2026. These are senior technical positions with a forestry profile, classified in the Special Administration scale, Technical subscale, Senior class, with direct relevance for environmental management on the island of Tenerife.

The deadline for submitting applications started on July 8, 2026 and extends for 15 business days. Any candidate who does not submit their application within that deadline will be excluded from the process, regardless of their merits.

What does this regulation establish?

The Resolution of June 30, 2026 from the Insular Cabildo of Tenerife calls for a selective process through merit-based competition to fill 8 Forest Engineer positions. Unlike opposition, merit-based competition exclusively assesses the merits accredited by the candidate (experience, training, seniority, etc.), without a theoretical examination phase.

The positions belong to the following administrative classification:

• Scale: Special Administration
• Subscale: Technical
• Class: Senior

The complete bases—including participation requirements, merit scale, required documentation, and resolution procedure—were published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, number 77, of June 29, 2026. It is essential to consult that provincial bulletin to know all the details of the process before submitting the application.

Economic and operational impact

For the Cabildo of Tenerife, filling 8 senior technical positions with a forestry profile means significantly strengthening its capacity for environmental and forestry management on the island. Senior class positions in the Special Administration scale typically correspond to the highest remuneration levels within local administration, reflecting the specialization required.

For candidates, this is an opportunity to access or consolidate a position in the Local Administration of Tenerife in a technical profile with high demand and scarce public supply. The competition system means that there is no examination phase: selection is based entirely on the merits accredited by each candidate, which favors professionals with previous experience in the forestry sector or in public administration.

Who does it affect?

• Forest Engineers who meet the requirements established in the bases of the BOP of Santa Cruz de Tenerife no. 77.
• Career civil servants from other public administrations with a degree in Forest Engineering who aspire to a position in the Insular Cabildo of Tenerife.
• Professionals in the forestry and environmental sector with experience in natural space management, forest fires, forestry planning, or similar.
• Advisors and public employment managers who accompany candidates in position provision processes in the Canary Islands Local Administration.

Practical example

A Forest Engineer with several years of experience in forestry management in another Canary Islands public administration decides to apply for the Cabildo of Tenerife competition. Their roadmap would be as follows:

1. Download the complete bases from the BOP of Santa Cruz de Tenerife no. 77, of June 29, 2026, to know exactly what merits are assessed and with what score.
2. Gather the supporting documentation of their experience (certificates of services rendered, training titles, etc.) before the deadline of 15 business days from July 8, 2026 expires.
3. Submit the application within the deadline in the manner indicated in the bases (in person or electronically, as established by the BOP).
4. Monitor the provisional and final resolution of the competition to, if necessary, submit claims within the allowed deadline.

If the candidate does not submit the application within the 15 business days established, they are automatically excluded from the process, with no possibility of later correction.

What should candidates do now?

1. Consult the complete bases in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, number 77, of June 29, 2026, to learn about participation requirements, the merit scale, and required documentation.
2. Calculate the exact submission deadline: the 15 business days deadline starts on July 8, 2026. Identify the actual deadline by discounting applicable local and national holidays.
3. Gather and prepare supporting documentation of all assessable merits (professional experience, training, seniority, etc.) with sufficient advance notice to avoid being excluded due to lack of documentation.
4. Submit the application within the deadline in the manner and place indicated in the bases. An application submitted after the deadline results in automatic exclusion from the process.
5. Monitor the resolutions (provisional and final) of the competition to exercise the right to claim if necessary.
