The Senate convenes 3 positions for Senior Technical Professional in Information Technologies under labor regime, classified in Professional Group M3. The convocation, published on October 15, 2026 through a Resolution from the General Secretariat of the Senate, is part of the Public Employment Plan 2024-2027 and opens a concrete opportunity for university graduates with a technology profile who aspire to a stable position in the Administration.
The distribution of positions is as follows: 2 positions by open competition and 1 position reserved for persons with disabilities equal to or greater than 33%. The process is governed by the principles of merit, capacity, and gender equality, under the presidency of the First Secretary of the Senate heading the Selection Commission.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution regulates an open competitive selection process to fill 3 Senior IT Technical positions at the Senate. Below are all the requirements and conditions established:
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Nationality | Spanish |
| Minimum age | Legal age (18 years) |
| Required qualification | University qualification at MECES level 3, with a minimum of 300 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 must be at master's level |
| Eligibility | Not to have been dismissed by disciplinary proceedings from any Public Administration |
| Open competition | 2 positions open to all candidates meeting requirements |
| Disability quota | 1 position reserved for persons with disability equal to or greater than 33% |
| Professional group | M3 |
| Regime | Labor |
| Application submission | Electronically through the Senate website |
| Application deadline | 15 business days from publication in the BOCG (from 15/10/2026) |
| Selection body | Selection Commission presided by the First Secretary of the Senate |
| Governing principles | Merit, capacity, and gender equality |
The qualification requirement deserves special attention: any university degree is not sufficient. MECES level 3 is required, which implies having completed a minimum of 300 total ECTS credits, with at least 60 master's level credits. This is equivalent, in practice, to having a 240 ECTS degree plus a 60 ECTS master's degree, or a 300 ECTS degree that includes an integrated master's component.
Economic and operational impact
From the candidates' perspective, this convocation represents access to a stable public employment position at the Senate, with the remuneration and stability conditions typical of Professional Group M3 under labor regime. Although the resolution does not detail the specific remuneration, the classification in M3 corresponds to highly qualified technical positions within the Administration.
For technology sector companies, this convocation may have an indirect effect: the recruitment of qualified IT profiles by the public sector may intensify competition for specialized talent in an already tight market. Profiles with master's level qualifications and IT experience are precisely the most demanded both in the private and public sectors.
The process is part of the Public Employment Plan 2024-2027, which indicates that additional convocations may occur in the coming years within the same plan, progressively expanding the Senate's IT workforce.
Who does it affect?
- University graduates in IT with MECES level 3 (minimum 300 ECTS, with 60 master's) seeking stable public employment.
- Persons with disabilities equal to or greater than 33% with a technology profile: they have a specifically reserved position.
- IT private sector professionals who value the stability of public employment over private enterprise.
- Technology companies that may see some of their most qualified profiles apply for this convocation.
- HR advisors and recruitment consultancies managing candidates with IT profiles who need to know public sector alternatives.
Practical example
Imagine a professional with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering of 240 ECTS plus a Master's Degree in Cybersecurity of 60 ECTS, Spanish nationality, of legal age, and with no disciplinary record in any Public Administration. This candidate meets exactly the required profile: they have 300 total ECTS credits, of which 60 are at master's level, reaching the required MECES level 3.
This candidate can apply for any of the 2 open competition positions. If they also accredit a disability equal to or greater than 33%, they could also apply for the position reserved for disability, which expands their access possibilities.
The deadline for submitting the application electronically through the Senate website expires 15 business days after October 15, 2026. Counting business days correctly (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays) is critical to avoid being excluded from the process due to late submission.
What should candidates do now?
- Verify qualification requirements: Check that your qualification reaches MECES level 3 with a minimum of 300 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 are at master's level. If you have doubts, consult the Spanish Framework of Qualifications for Higher Education (MECES).
- Calculate the application deadline: The deadline is 15 business days from October 15, 2026. Identify the exact closing date by counting business days (exclude Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays).
- Access the Senate website: Applications are submitted exclusively electronically through the official Senate website. Prepare in advance the digital certificate or electronic identification system needed.
- Accredit disability if applicable: If you have a disability equal to or greater than 33%, gather the official documentation that proves it to be able to apply for the reserved position.
- Consult the BOCG: The complete convocation, including bases, syllabus, and selection criteria, is published in the Official Bulletin of the General Courts (BOCG). Download it and review it entirely before submitting your application.
- Companies and HR consultancies: If you manage highly qualified IT profiles, inform your candidates about this convocation. Competition from the public sector for technology talent is real and growing within the Public Employment Plan 2024-2027.
