19 positions at Tenerife Cabildo 2026: electricians, agricultural laborers and OHS technicians

Key data

The Tenerife Island Council announces 19 permanent public employment positions in September 2026, with an application deadline that starts on the same day of publication in the BOE—September 15—and closes after 20 business days. The call, published through Resolution of September 7, 2026 in the BOE, affects three different professional profiles: electrical technicians, agricultural laborers and occupational health and safety specialists.

For interested candidates, time is the critical factor: with only 20 business days and the need to consult the complete bases published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (no. 107, September 7, 2026), documentation preparation must begin immediately.

What does this call establish?

The resolution announces a competitive examination process in open competition to fill 19 permanent labor positions at the Tenerife Island Council. The complete breakdown of positions by category is as follows:

The complete bases—which include specific qualification requirements, syllabi and competitive examination scoring—were published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no. 107, September 7, 2026. It is in that document where candidates will find the merit evaluation criteria, the subject program and the application forms.

The access system is the competitive examination in open competition, which means that anyone who meets the requirements can apply, regardless of whether they already work in the Administration or not.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, accessing one of these positions means obtaining the status of permanent labor personnel in a public administration, with the guarantees of stability, remuneration and social rights that this entails. From an operational perspective, there are two key aspects to consider:

• Tight deadline: 20 business days from September 15, 2026 is a narrow margin to gather documentation, accredit merits and submit the application correctly.
• Bases in provincial bulletin: The bases are not in the BOE, but in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (no. 107). Accessing them is the first essential step, as they contain the qualification requirements, the syllabus and the merit scoring.
• Senior technical OHS profile: The 5 Senior Technician in Occupational Health and Safety positions are classified in the Senior Technical subscale, which implies university degree requirements and specific OHS accreditation.
• Larger volume in agricultural laborers: With 11 of the 19 positions, the Agricultural Laborer profile concentrates the largest number of vacancies, which may mean greater competition but also more access opportunities.

Who does it affect?

• People with training or experience in electricity seeking stability in public employment (3 positions available).
• Agricultural sector workers or those with field work experience who wish to access stable public employment as Agricultural Laborer (11 positions).
• University graduates with Senior Technician in Occupational Health and Safety accreditation who want to develop their career in island administration (5 positions).
• Professionals residing in Tenerife or willing to relocate, given that the positions correspond to the Tenerife Island Council.
• Labor advisors and HR consultants managing applications from workers interested in the Canary Islands public sector.

Practical example

An occupational health and safety technician with a university degree and Senior Technician in OHS accreditation who currently works in the private sector in Tenerife can apply for one of the 5 Senior Technician in OHS positions announced by the Cabildo.

Their first step is to download the bases from the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no. 107 (September 7, 2026) to verify the exact qualification requirements and valuable merits (previous experience, complementary training, languages, etc.). Next, they must prepare and submit their application within the 20 business days from September 15, 2026. If the deadline starts on September 15, candidates must calculate the final date counting only business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) to avoid missing the call.

Passing the process would grant them the status of permanent labor personnel of the Tenerife Island Council, with the stability and rights inherent to public employment.
