The Insular Cabildo of Gran Canaria convenes 9 public employment positions in the Environmental area, with two differentiated profiles and different access systems. The call is governed by the Resolution of September 23, 2026, published in the BOE on September 30, 2026, and the complete bases appear in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Las Palmas, number 114.
If you are looking for public employment in Gran Canaria or are a Cabildo civil servant with promotion aspirations, this call opens a window with a tight deadline: 20 working days from the publication date.
What does this call establish?
The call clearly differentiates two types of positions with different access conditions:
| Position | Number of positions | Competition | Who can apply |
|---|---|---|---|
| Environmental Worker/a | 8 | Open | Any applicant who meets the call requirements |
| Technical Forest Engineer/a | 1 | Internal promotion | Exclusively active public employees of the Insular Cabildo of Gran Canaria |
The selection system for both positions is the competitive examination. The specific requirements, syllabi and evaluation criteria for the competition are detailed in the bases published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Las Palmas, number 114.
The deadline for submitting applications is 20 working days counted from September 30, 2026, the date of official publication in the BOE.
Economic and operational impact
For external applicants, the 8 Environmental Worker/a positions represent an opportunity for access to stable public employment in the Insular Cabildo of Gran Canaria, with the remuneration and stability conditions typical of the Canary Islands local administration.
For the Cabildo, the incorporation of 9 new personnel in the Environmental area strengthens its operational capacity in forest and environmental management on the island. The Technical Forest Engineer/a position, when filled through internal promotion, implies that the Cabildo is committed to the professional development of its current workforce before resorting to external candidates.
From an operational perspective, interested parties should note that the 20 working day deadline is relatively short: preparing documentation, verifying compliance with requirements and submitting the application correctly requires acting from day one.
Who does it affect?
- People seeking public employment in Gran Canaria with an operative or field work profile in the environment, who meet the requirements of the open competition.
- Civil servants and active public employees of the Insular Cabildo of Gran Canaria with a Technical Forest Engineering degree or equivalent, who aspire to internal promotion.
- Labor and human resources advisors who manage candidacies or selection processes for public sector clients in the Canary Islands.
- Unions and personnel representatives of the Insular Cabildo of Gran Canaria, for monitoring internal promotion processes.
Practical example
Imagine you are an employee of the Insular Cabildo of Gran Canaria with the category of administrative assistant and you have the degree of Technical Forest Engineer/a. This call opens for you the possibility of internal promotion to the Technical Forest Engineer/a position without competing with external candidates, since the internal promotion competition is exclusively reserved for active Cabildo personnel.
On the other hand, if you are external to the Cabildo and meet the requirements for Environmental Worker/a, you have access to 8 positions in open competition. The process is through competitive examination, so you must pass both the examination phase and the merit competition phase. The complete bases with details of the syllabus and evaluation criteria are in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Las Palmas, number 114.
The 20 working day deadline from September 30, 2026 means that the application submission window closes approximately at the end of October 2026 (not counting holidays). Acting from day one is key to not being left out for formal reasons.
What should interested parties do now?
- Consult the complete bases in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Las Palmas, number 114, to verify the specific requirements for each position, the syllabus and the evaluation criteria for the competitive examination.
- Verify compliance with requirements before submitting the application: required qualifications, condition of active public employee of the Cabildo (only for the Technical Forest Engineer/a position) and other conditions established in the bases.
- Calculate the actual submission deadline: 20 working days from September 30, 2026, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and official holidays in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
- Prepare and gather the required documentation by the bases (qualifications, merits, work history, etc.) with sufficient advance notice to not exhaust the deadline.
- Submit the application in time and form according to the procedure indicated in the bases, either in person or electronically, as established by the call.
