Two public university employment positions in the IT field are being opened for competitive examination at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena. The call, published in the BOE on June 10, 2026 with reference BOE-A-2026-12578, opens free access to the Basic Technical Scale of Science and Technology, IT and Communications specialty. The positions come from the public employment offer of 2024 and 2025.
The application submission deadline is 15 business days counted from the date of publication in the BOE. Since August is declared non-working for the purpose of calculating deadlines in this call, applicants must calculate the actual final date precisely to avoid missing the opportunity.
What does this call establish?
The resolution regulates the selective process to fill 2 positions in the Basic Technical Scale of Science and Technology in the IT and Communications specialty at UPCT. The selection system is competitive examination through open access, which involves two differentiated phases:
- Examination phase: Tests that must be passed to continue in the process.
- Competitive phase: Only applies to those who have passed the examination phase. Evaluates candidate merits (experience, training, etc.).
The required qualification requirements are the following Vocational Training cycles:
| Required VET qualification |
|---|
| Microcomputer Systems and Networks |
| Administration of Computer Systems in Network |
| Application Development |
Applications must be submitted exclusively through the UPCT electronic headquarters. Paper applications or submissions through other channels are not accepted. The positions are linked to the public employment offer of the years 2024 and 2025.
Economic and operational impact
For candidates, accessing these positions means joining university public service with the stability and remuneration conditions typical of subgroup C1 of the Public Administration. This subgroup corresponds to qualifications from intermediate or advanced vocational training cycles, with remuneration regulated by the collective agreements and salary tables for administration and services personnel at public universities.
For UPCT, the call responds to the need to fill accumulated vacancies from two public employment offer exercises (2024 and 2025), reflecting sustained demand for IT technical profiles within the public university sector.
The process does not generate direct costs for private companies, but does represent a stable employment opportunity for technicians with VET in IT who currently work in the private sector and want to transition to public employment.
Who does it affect?
- Technicians with VET training cycle in Microcomputer Systems and Networks, Administration of Computer Systems in Network or Application Development.
- IT sector professionals who wish to access university public employment in the Murcia Region.
- Candidates who meet the general requirements for access to Spanish public service (nationality, functional capacity, not having been dismissed from service, etc.).
- People aspiring to positions in subgroup C1 in the field of public university administration.
Practical example
An IT support technician with the title of Advanced Technician in Administration of Computer Systems in Network, who currently works in a private company in Cartagena, meets the qualification requirement established by the call.
If the BOE publication is on June 10, 2026 and the deadline is 15 business days, they must calculate their application deadline excluding national, regional and local holidays applicable, and keeping in mind that August is non-working (although in this case the 15 business days from June 10 will likely be exhausted before August, it is advisable to verify). This candidate must access the UPCT electronic headquarters, complete the application form and attach documentation proving their qualification within that deadline.
If they pass the examination phase, they can present their merits in the competitive phase to improve their position in the order of allocation of the 2 available positions.
