The Marbella City Council announces 16 Master/Foreman positions for its fixed-term labor staff, published in the BOE on August 5, 2026 through the Resolution of July 29, 2026. This is a stable public employment opportunity in one of the largest municipalities in the province of Málaga.
The selection process will be structured through competitive examination, the usual system for access to fixed-term labor positions in Local Administration. The bases governing the process were published in advance in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Málaga on March 25, 2026, so applicants who have been preparing already have all the information about the syllabus and phases.
What does this announcement establish?
The announcement regulates access to 16 positions in the Master/Foreman category within the fixed-term labor staff of the Marbella City Council. The distribution of positions is as follows:
| Competition | Positions | Eligible applicants |
|---|---|---|
| Open competition | 14 | Any applicant meeting general requirements |
| Reserve for persons with disabilities | 2 | Applicants with recognized disability according to current regulations |
The selection system is competitive examination, which combines an examination phase (theoretical and/or practical tests) with a merit evaluation phase. The specific requirements, syllabus, tribunal composition and detailed phases of the selection process are included in the bases published in the BOP of Málaga on March 25, 2026. It is essential to consult that document to know the exact admission and evaluation criteria.
The application deadline is 20 working days counted from the day following publication in the BOE, that is, from August 5, 2026. Applicants must calculate the deadline precisely taking into account non-working days (national, regional and local holidays) that may coincide with that period.

The announcement does not specify the exact salary level in the BOE; this information is in the bases of the BOP of Málaga of March 25, 2026.
