UNED Opposition 2026: Group III position in Industrial Engineering Madrid

Key data

UNED convenes a position of technical, management and administration personnel (PTGAS) Group III, Level B at the School of Technical Engineering of Industrial Engineers in Madrid. The convocation, published on September 29, 2026 in the BOE (reference BOE-A-2026-20202), is articulated through the open access system because the position was not filled in the previous internal promotion process, as allowed by the III Collective Agreement of UNED labor PTGAS.

The deadline for submitting the application is 20 business days from publication in the BOE. Since publication occurred on September 29, 2026, candidates must calculate the deadline counting only business days from that date. Registration is conducted exclusively electronically through UNED's official website.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes selective tests to fill one PTGAS Group III, Level B position at UNED, intended for the Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Control, Telematics and Chemistry at ETSI Industriales in Madrid.

The selection process is structured in two phases:

• Opposition phase: eliminatory tests that evaluate the knowledge and competencies required for the position.
• Merit evaluation phase: assessment of the merits of candidates who pass the opposition.

The participation requirements are as follows:

• Spanish nationality or equivalent recognized for European Union citizens.
• Be at least 16 years old at the time of submitting the application.
• Not have been separated from the service of any Public Administration through disciplinary proceedings.
• Be in possession of a High School diploma or Medium-level Vocational Training (or recognized equivalent).

The authorization to convene this position by open access is based on the III Collective Agreement of UNED labor PTGAS, which allows positions left vacant in the internal promotion process to be opened to open access.

Economic and operational impact

For the candidate, the direct cost of participating in this selection process is minimal: 20 euros exam fee. No data has been published regarding possible exemptions or bonifications of this fee in the available resolution.

From an operational standpoint, registration is exclusively electronic, which eliminates travel and in-person procedures, but requires having valid digital identification means to access UNED's electronic office.

For UNED, the convocation means filling a vacancy in a high-profile technical department—Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Control, Telematics and Chemistry—that could not be filled internally. The position is classified in Group III, Level B of the PTGAS collective agreement, the level that typically corresponds to technical and administrative support positions with High School or Medium-level Vocational Training qualifications.

Who does it affect?

• People with a High School diploma or Medium-level Vocational Training seeking stable public employment in Madrid.
• Candidates with experience or training in technical or university management environments.
• Spanish citizens or nationals of European Union countries (or with equivalent recognition) over 16 years old.
• People who have not been separated from public service through disciplinary proceedings.
• Candidates who already participated in UNED's previous internal promotion process and did not obtain the position, who can now compete by open access.

Practical example

Imagine you are a laboratory technician with a Medium-level Vocational Training diploma in Electronics and have been working in the private sector in Madrid for several years. This convocation allows you to access a fixed labor personnel position at UNED by only paying 20 euros in fees and registering online before the 20 business days deadline expires from September 29, 2026.

The process has two phases: first you pass the opposition (knowledge tests), and if you pass, your merits are evaluated in the merit evaluation phase. The destination would be the Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Control, Telematics and Chemistry at ETSI Industriales in Madrid, a technical environment directly related to your training profile.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify that you meet the requirements: Spanish or equivalent EU nationality, minimum 16 years old, High School diploma or Medium-level Vocational Training, and not having been separated from public service.
2. Calculate the registration deadline: the deadline is 20 business days from September 29, 2026. Count only working days (exclude Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays).
