4 positions at the Zaragoza Provincial Council 2026: machinery operators and IT technician

Key data

The Zaragoza Provincial Council is calling for four permanent staff positions through competitive examination in free competition, published in the BOE on September 8, 2026. The Resolution, signed on July 31, 2026, opens the selection process for two different profiles: one technical field position (rural infrastructure machinery operator) and one technological position (IT technician).

The deadline for submitting applications starts on September 9, 2026 and extends for 20 working days. The regulatory bases governing the entire process were previously published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Zaragoza no. 176, of July 30, 2026, and are the mandatory reference document for knowing the requirements, merits and phases of each position.

What does this call establish?

The call regulates the selection process to fill four permanent staff positions at the Zaragoza Provincial Council, through the competitive examination system in free competition. The positions called are:

The complete regulatory bases, which include qualification requirements, syllabi, process phases and evaluation criteria, were published in the BOP Zaragoza no. 176 of July 30, 2026. Subsequent announcements of the selection process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results) will be published in accordance with what is established in the bases themselves.

The free competition system means that any person who meets the requirements established in the bases can apply, without quota reservation for specific groups (except as expressly determined by the bases).

Economic and operational impact

For the Zaragoza Provincial Council, filling these four positions means consolidating staff in two key operational areas: the maintenance of rural infrastructure (with three machinery operators) and internal technological services (with one IT technician).

For candidates, obtaining one of these positions means getting a permanent staff position, with the job stability and remuneration conditions typical of the collective agreement of the Zaragoza Provincial Council. The specific remuneration details for each category are included in the bases published in the BOP.

From an operational perspective, the process is entirely through competitive examination, which means that selection is based on objective tests, without a merit competition phase as the sole criterion. Candidates must prepare the syllabus and specific tests for each position according to what the bases of BOP no. 176 establish.

Who does it affect?

• People seeking stable public employment in the province of Zaragoza.
• Professionals with a machinery operator or rural infrastructure machinery operator profile who meet the requirements of the "First Class" category.
• IT technicians wishing to access Local Administration in Aragón.
• Candidates already preparing similar calls in provincial councils.
• Labor advisors and management firms advising candidates in public employment processes.

Practical example

An IT technician with appropriate qualifications and experience in public administration decides to apply for the called position. The process they must follow is as follows:

1. Download and read the regulatory bases published in the BOP Zaragoza no. 176 of July 30, 2026 to verify that they meet the qualification requirements and other required conditions.
2. Submit their application within the deadline of 20 working days from September 9, 2026, that is, before the deadline expires (counting in working days, excluding holidays and weekends).
3. Prepare for the competitive examination tests according to the syllabus and phases established in the bases.
4. Follow subsequent announcements of the process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates) that will be published as indicated in the bases themselves.

The same scheme applies to the three candidates applying for the First Class Rural Infrastructure Machinery Operator positions, adapting the verification of requirements to the technical profile of that category.
