Tenerife Cabildo: 37 Technical Positions Through Merit Competition in 2026

Key data

The Tenerife Island Council convenes 37 technical job positions through the merit competition system, published in the BOE of June 4, 2026. All positions belong to the Special Administration scale and are aimed at civil servants with qualifications in engineering, economics or occupational risk prevention. The application submission period began on June 5, 2026 and lasts 15 business days.

The complete bases of the call were published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no. 64, of May 29, 2026, where the specific requirements of each profile and the applicable merit scale are included.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes 37 job positions distributed among four technical profiles, all within the Special Administration scale of the Tenerife Island Council. The provision system is merit competition, which means that candidates are evaluated and ranked according to accredited merits (training, experience, courses, etc.) according to the scale established in the provincial bases.

The exact distribution of positions by profile is as follows:

The profile with the highest number of positions is Technical Engineer in Public Works, with 16 positions, representing 43% of the total called. The specific qualification requirements and the merit scale applicable to each profile are included in the bases published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no. 64, of May 29, 2026.

Economic and operational impact

For the Tenerife Island Council, this call means strengthening four strategic technical areas: public infrastructure, local economic development, agricultural environment and workplace safety. Provision through merit competition means that positions are filled with civil servants already in active service who accredit the required merits, without needing to pass new selective tests.

For candidates, the operational impact is clear:

• The 15 business day deadline from June 5, 2026 is tight: you need to act quickly to gather and accredit the merits.
• The merit scale will determine the order of position allocation, so proper documentation of experience and training is decisive.
• The provincial bases (BOP Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no. 64) contain the exact evaluation criteria: consulting them is the essential first step.

Who does it affect?

• Civil servants with qualifications in Technical Engineering in Public Works who want to apply for one of the 16 positions called.
• Technicians with higher grade qualifications in Economics, Employment or Local Development interested in the 10 available positions.
• Technicians with higher grade qualifications in Occupational Risk Prevention who aspire to the 6 positions called.
• Higher grade engineers specialized in Agricultural and Environmental Infrastructure for the 5 positions offered.
• Advisors and human resources consultants in the public sector who manage mobility processes and merit competitions in local administrations.
• HR departments of island councils and administrations that follow similar processes as a reference.
