Málaga Provincial Council Competitive Examinations 2026: 10 positions for engineers, programmers and technicians

Key data

The Málaga Provincial Council convenes 10 public employment positions through competitive examination, all of them classified in the Special Administration scale, Technical subscale. The call is published in the BOE of October 9, 2026 and activates a deadline of 20 working days for the submission of applications.

The bases governing these positions date from December 2023 and have been amended on several occasions through March 2026, so it is essential to review the current version published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Málaga before submitting your candidacy.

What does this call establish?

The resolution convenes a competitive examination process to fill 10 technical positions in the Málaga Provincial Council. The complete breakdown of positions by profile and category is as follows:

All positions belong to the Special Administration scale, Technical subscale. The original bases were approved in December 2023 and have undergone several amendments through March 2026. To learn about the specific requirements for qualifications, experience and merits for each position, it is mandatory to consult the bases published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Málaga.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, obtaining one of these positions means joining the local civil service with the remuneration conditions and stability inherent to the Special Administration of a provincial council. The specific remuneration is not detailed in the resolution published in the BOE, but is governed by the salary tables of the Málaga Provincial Council in force at each moment.

From an operational perspective, there are two critical aspects to consider:

• The bases have been amended several times (from December 2023 through March 2026). Working with an outdated version of the bases may invalidate the application or lead to errors in the documentation provided.
• The 20 working day deadline is strict. Submitting the application outside the deadline results in automatic exclusion from the process.
• The Programmer position reserved for persons with disabilities requires accrediting the legally recognized degree of disability, in accordance with the regulations for access to public employment for this group.

Who does it affect?

• Telecommunications Engineers who meet the qualification requirements set out in the bases.
• Programmers with qualifications or accredited training according to the bases of the call.
• Environmental Technicians with the qualifications required for the position convened.
• IT Technicians ("IT Technician" profile) who meet the established requirements.
• Persons with recognized disabilities who aspire to the Programmer position reserved for this group.
• Labor advisors and HR consultants who manage selection processes or advise candidates in competitive examinations for the Andalusian local administration.

Practical example

A programmer with a degree in Computer Engineering or equivalent vocational training (as established by the current bases) who wants to apply for one of the 2 Programmer positions in open competition should act as follows:

1. Download the final bases from the Official Bulletin of the Province of Málaga (version amended through March 2026) to verify that you meet the qualification requirements and, where applicable, the merits that can be evaluated in the competitive phase.
2. Calculate the last working day of the deadline: starting from October 9, 2026, count 20 working days excluding Saturdays, Sundays and official holidays in Málaga.
3. Prepare and submit the application within the deadline, along with the supporting documentation required by the bases.

If that same candidate had a recognized degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, they could also apply for the position reserved for persons with disabilities, provided they accredit such condition in the manner established by the bases.

What should candidates do now?

1. Download the final bases from the Official Bulletin of the Province of Málaga (current version with amendments through March 2026). Do not use earlier versions: they may be outdated.
2. Verify that you meet the requirements for qualifications, nationality and other conditions required for the position you are applying for.
3. Calculate the exact deadline: the application period is 20 working days from October 9, 2026. Identify the specific deadline taking into account local and regional holidays.
4. Prepare the required documentation by the bases: qualifications, ID, disability documentation if applicable, and any merits that can be evaluated in the competitive phase.
5. Submit the application within the deadline through the channel enabled by the Provincial Council (in-person or electronic, as indicated by the bases). Submission outside the deadline results in automatic exclusion.
