Seville Fire Department approves its new workforce with 290 reclassified positions

The General Board of the Consortium for Fire Prevention, Extinguishing and Rescue of the Province of Seville definitively approved on October 22, 2026, in an ordinary session, the modification of the Job Position List (RPT) and the budgetary staff of the organization for the 2026 fiscal year. The agreement, which also resolves the allegations presented, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Seville number 218, dated November 11, 2026, with official reference BOP-SE-2026-218026.

The text is signed by the secretary general, Fernando Fernández-Figueroa Guerrero, on November 9, 2026, and orders the publication of the agreement in the BOP and on the Transparency Portal, as well as its communication to the State Administration and the regional Administration within a maximum period of thirty business days. The regulation affects the entirety of the provincial operation, both operational and administrative personnel.

Fifty-eight new positions and 290 reclassifications

The annex of the agreement creates 58 newly created positions in the operational field, with the following distribution by category:

• 2 Intendant positions, Group A1, NCD 27, with access via internal promotion.
• 2 Officer positions, Group A2, NCD 25.
• 9 Inspector positions, Group B, NCD 20.
• 4 Sub-inspector positions, Group B, NCD 19.
• 6 Crew Chief positions, Group C1, NCD 17.
• 25 Firefighter positions, Group C1, NCD 16, with access via open competitive examination.
• 5 Firefighter positions in Second Activity and 5 Crew Chief positions in Second Activity.
• Four Emergency Operator positions in the RPT, already existing in the staff.

Added to these are 290 positions created by reclassification: 8 Sub-inspectors, 75 Crew Chiefs, and 207 Firefighters, all with access via internal promotion competitive examination and, subsidiarily, via open competitive examination.

Reinforcement of the administrative structure

Regarding administrative personnel, 2 General Administration Technician positions (A1, NCD 23), 1 Social Graduate position (A2, NCD 20), 3 Administrative Assistant positions (C2, NCD 14), 1 General Services Personnel position (Group E), and 2 Driver positions, requiring C and C+E licenses, are created. Additionally, the positions of Head of Economic-Financial Service and Head of Contracting and Grants Service, both NCD 27, and two Administrative Assistant positions for labor personnel are added.

The agreement transforms three operational positions: the Officer (329) and Systems Operational Chief position becomes Intendant; the Non-Commissioned Officer A2 (333) and Systems Technical Chief position becomes Officer with NCD 26; and the Central Depot Chief A2 (388) becomes Sub-Inspector. In administration, the conversions to General Administration Technician of positions 110 (Grants Technician) and 122 (Fees Technician) stand out, as well as the Senior IT Technician (121), which remains as IT Technician C1. Among others, the positions of Sergeant (495), Zone Inspector (421), Industrial Engineer (112), and two C1 positions of First Officer mechanic driver (425 and 426) are amortized.

One upheld allegation and three dismissed

The resolution partially upholds the allegation of Emilio Javier Begines Escolar and corrects the numbering of the annex: the transformation of the Fees Technician position (0104-3) refers to position 122 —and not 121—, while the amortization of the Payroll and Shift Management Technician position (0104-4) corresponds to position 121. The rest of his allegations are dismissed.

The allegations of Diego López Álvarez, José Ignacio Villalobos García de Las Heras, and Roberto Ramos Terrón, acting in the name and representation of the consortium section of the Central Sindical Independiente y de Funcionarios (CSIF) union, are rejected in their entirety.

Deadlines and appeals

The agreement concludes the administrative process. An optional appeal for reversal may be filed within one month before the same body, or a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed within two months before the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Court of First Instance of Seville.

The reorganization consolidates an operational workforce with a renewed hierarchical structure —with more middle management and a massive reclassification of firefighters and crew chiefs— and sets the complementary remuneration for each position, thereby determining the working conditions and promotion prospects for the entire provincial operational staff.
