What does this regulation establish?
The resolution calls for the provision of 6 Provincial Chief/Chief positions in Telecommunications Inspection through the free appointment system. Below are all the positions called with their destinations and the specific allowance associated with each one:
| Destination (city) | Position | Level | Specific allowance (€/year) |
|---|---|---|---|

Required knowledge includes ICT, telecommunications networks, radio-electric instrumentation and frequency management. The free appointment system allows the Administration to select with greater discretion based on the candidate's technical and management profile.
Applications must be submitted through the Funciona portal with electronic certificate. Against the provision resolution, it is possible to file an administrative contentious appeal within two months or, alternatively, a reconsideration appeal within one month.
Economic and operational impact
These level 26 positions carry a specific allowance of between €11,972.52 and €14,969.64 annually, which is added to the base salary and seniority bonuses of groups A1 or A2. The range of almost €3,000 between the minimum and maximum allowance reflects differences between destinations, probably linked to the cost of living and workload of each provincial demarcation.
From an operational perspective, these positions are key to territorial supervision of the radio spectrum and compliance with telecommunications regulations. Their coverage has a direct impact on operators, broadcasting companies and any entity operating telecommunications infrastructure in the affected provinces.
Who does it affect?
- Career civil servants from group A1 of the General State Administration with a profile in telecommunications or ICT.
- Career civil servants from group A2 of the General State Administration with a profile in telecommunications or ICT.
- Professionals with knowledge in telecommunications networks, radio-electric instrumentation and frequency management.
- Civil servants currently assigned anywhere in the national territory who wish to transfer to Oviedo, Cáceres, Donostia-San Sebastián, Logroño, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria or Murcia.
- Indirectly, telecommunications operators and companies in the sector operating in these provinces, as the new provincial chiefs will be their interlocutors in inspection matters.
Practical example
A group A1 civil servant currently assigned in Madrid, with experience in radio spectrum management, decides to apply for the Donostia-San Sebastián position. He has 15 working days from 13 July 2026 to access the Funciona portal with his electronic certificate, complete the application and attach documentation proving his profile in ICT and telecommunications.
If selected, he will occupy a level 26 position with a specific allowance of between €11,972.52 and €14,969.64 annually, which will be added to his base remuneration as an A1 civil servant. In case of disagreement with the final resolution, he will have one month to file a reconsideration appeal or two months to resort to the administrative contentious route.
What should interested civil servants do now?
- Verify your classification: Confirm that you belong to groups A1 or A2 of the General State Administration and that your profile includes knowledge in ICT, telecommunications networks, radio-electric instrumentation or frequency management.
- Calculate the exact deadline: The 15 working days count starts on 13 July 2026. It excludes Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. Do not wait until the last day.
- Prepare your electronic certificate: The application is processed exclusively through the Funciona portal. Make sure your electronic certificate is valid before starting the process.
- Gather technical profile documentation: Since it is a free appointment, the Administration discretionally evaluates the profile. Prepare evidence of your experience in ICT, networks and spectrum management.
- Submit the application within the deadline: Once sent, keep the submission receipt. If the resolution does not favor you, remember that you have one month for a reconsideration appeal or two months for the administrative contentious route.
