20 technical positions in Alicante 2026: engineers, architects and building inspectors

Key data

The Alicante City Council convenes 20 stable technical public employment positions through a selective process by opposition exam. The call, published in the BOE on October 14, 2026 through the Resolution of October 8, 2026, opens a concrete opportunity for graduates in industrial engineering and architecture seeking stability in local administration.

The regulatory bases were previously published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Alicante on May 22, 2026, so candidates who have followed the call from its origin already have all detailed information on syllabi, requirements and scoring criteria.

What does this call establish?

The resolution convenes a selective process to fill 20 positions belonging to the Special Administration scale of the Alicante City Council, distributed across five differentiated technical categories. The complete breakdown of positions is as follows:

Access is structured through open competition and reserved competition for persons with disabilities, in compliance with public employment regulations that guarantee position reserves for this group. The positions are classified in different subscales and classes within the Special Administration scale, which means each category has its own qualification requirements and specific syllabus.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, accessing one of these positions means joining the municipal workforce with the remuneration conditions and stability inherent to local public employment in Spain: fixed remuneration according to the classification group, position-specific supplements, and the legal security of public service.

For the Alicante City Council, filling these 20 technical positions responds to a real operational need in engineering, urban planning and building inspection areas, sectors where local administration has direct management and control responsibilities. The incorporation of these profiles strengthens municipal technical capacity in areas such as project supervision, public roads management and urban control.

From the perspective of the technical labor market in the province of Alicante, this call represents one of the most relevant public employment offers of the year for engineers and architects in the area, given that it groups five different categories in a single selective process.

Who does it affect?

This call directly affects the following professional profiles:

• Senior Industrial Engineers seeking stable public employment in Alicante's local administration (4 positions available).
• Technical Industrial Engineers with middle grade qualification in industrial engineering (3 positions).
• Technical architects or middle grade engineers with architecture or engineering profile (6 positions, the category with the most positions in the call).
• Technicians qualified for building inspection who want to develop building inspector functions in municipal administration (2 positions).
• Support technicians for works and public roads with Public Works and Roads Assistant profile (5 positions).
• Persons with disabilities with appropriate technical qualification, who can access through the reserved competition.

Practical example

A registered technical architect resident in Alicante, with experience in works management but without a position in the administration, can submit their application during the 20 working days from October 14, 2026. As this is the category with the highest number of positions called—6 positions for Middle Technician in Architecture or Engineering—it is also the one offering the highest statistical probability of access.

If they also accredit recognized disability, they can opt for the reserved competition, which reduces competition to the specific group of candidates with disabilities, while maintaining the same rights and conditions of the position.

The complete bases, published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Alicante on May 22, 2026, detail the syllabi, merit scoring and specific qualification requirements for each of the five categories.

1. Verify the qualification requirements for the category you are applying for, consulting the bases published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Alicante of May 22, 2026.
2. Calculate the application deadline: the submission period is 20 working days from October 14, 2026. Identify the exact deadline by discounting local and national holidays.
