UPCT 2026 Civil Service Exam: 3 Positions for Digital Content Production Technician

Key data

The Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) calls, through the Resolution of July 6, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-15273), for 3 positions in the Basic Technical Scale of Services in the specialty of Digital Content Production. Access is open, the subgroup is C1 and the selective system is the competitive examination. If you hold a High School diploma or equivalent and are looking for public employment in Cartagena, this call is for you.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution calls for selective tests to fill 3 positions in the Basic Technical Scale of Services of the UPCT, specialty Digital Content Production, classified in the subgroup C1 of the Spanish civil service.

The key aspects of the process are as follows:

The process is structured in two phases: first the examination phase, which all candidates must pass, and then the competitive phase, to which only those who have passed the examination have access. This sequence is relevant because the competitive phase (merit evaluation) cannot compensate for failure in the examination.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, accessing a position in subgroup C1 at the public university means accessing stable employment with remuneration regulated by the collective agreement for administration and services personnel (PAS) of public universities. Subgroup C1 corresponds to mid-level technician positions, with base salary set by the General State Budget Law and supplements specific to UPCT.

For the university itself, filling these positions through competitive examination ensures the incorporation of personnel with specialized profile in digital content production, a growing need in academic institutions that manage communication, online training and digital presence.

From an operational point of view, the fact that August is non-working for the purposes of this call means that the 15-day business period for submitting applications extends beyond what might appear at first glance: August days do not count, so the effective deadline extends into September 2026.

Who does it affect?

• High School diploma holders or equivalent who want to access public university employment in Cartagena.
• Spanish or EU citizens who meet the requirements for access to public employment.
• Persons with disability equal to or greater than 33% who wish to apply for the reserved position in the disability quota.
• Digital professionals (content creation, audiovisual communication, digital marketing) interested in stabilizing their career in the public sector.
• Candidates who have already worked at UPCT or in other public administrations and have accumulated valuable merits in the competitive phase.

Practical example

Imagine you are a professional with a High School diploma and experience in video production and social media management for a private company. You decide to apply for this UPCT call.

The process would be as follows:

1. You submit your application exclusively through electronic means within 15 business days from July 13, 2026. Remember: August is non-working, so the deadline extends into September.
2. You participate in the examination phase: if you pass it, you move to the competitive phase.
3. In the competitive phase, your merits are evaluated (previous experience, additional training, etc.). This phase only counts if you have passed the examination.
4. If you apply for the disability quota (with a disability certificate equal to or greater than 33%), you compete for the reserved position. If that position remains unfilled, it does not pass to the general quota.

The result: if you pass the process, you obtain a permanent position in the Basic Technical Scale of Services of UPCT, subgroup C1, with all the guarantees of public employment.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify that you meet the requirements: High School diploma or equivalent, Spanish or EU nationality and not to have been dismissed from public service.
2. Calculate the actual application deadline: the deadline is 15 business days from July 13, 2026, with August declared non-working. This means the effective deadline extends into September 2026. Confirm the exact closing date on UPCT's electronic platform.
3. Prepare your electronic application: applications are submitted exclusively through electronic means. Make sure you have an active digital certificate or Cl@ve before the deadline expires.
4. Gather merit documentation: although the competitive phase comes after the examination, it is advisable to have ready from the start the documents that prove experience and training.
5. If you have a disability equal to or greater than 33%: decide whether to apply for the disability quota (1 reserved position) or the general quota. Remember that if the reserved position remains unfilled, it does not accumulate to the general quota.
6. Consult the complete call: review the full rules in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-15273) to know the syllabus, merit evaluation criteria and exact development of the tests.
