Cervo reopens the deadline for the digital transformation grant

The Cervo City Council reopens the application period for the single position of senior technician in digital transformation and artificial intelligence, subgroup A1, of its civil service staff. This follows the modification of the rules approved in August: Mayor’s Decree number 2026-1043, dated November 2, 2026, removes the requirement for 240 ECTS credits in the qualifying degree and rectifies a material error in the seventh rule. The agreement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lugo in issue number 258, dated November 10, 2026, under reference R. 3056.

The original rules were approved by Mayor’s Resolution number 2026-0751, dated August 19, 2026, and published in BOP no. 194, dated August 26, 2026, within file 1529/2026. The position, which is vacant and funded in the current budget, appears in the modification of the 2023 Public Employment Offer, approved by Mayor’s Resolution number 2026-0021, dated January 16, 2026 (BOP no. 017, dated January 22), and in the personnel framework approved with the 2026 General Budget (BOP no. 002, dated January 3).

The position is for career civil service personnel, full-time, Special Administration scale, technical subscale, senior technician class, group A, subgroup A1, with a single vacancy and an open competitive examination system.

What the decree modifies

• Qualification (third rule.e). The clause “consisting of at least two hundred and forty (240) ECTS credits” is annulled and removed. The first alternative is now worded as “Any official university Degree within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), or”.
• Seventh rule. Under article 109.2 of Law 39/2015, the material error is rectified: where it said “one (1) position of General Administration Technician (Subgroup A2)” it should say “one (1) position of Senior Technician in Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence (Subgroup A1)”.
• New deadline. A full period of twenty business days is opened, counted from the day following the publication of the corresponding extract in the Official State Gazette.
• Publicity. The modification and rectification will also be announced on the municipal electronic office, with an announcement in the Official Gazette of Galicia and the extract in the BOE.

Applications already submitted

The decree preserves the applications already registered, without the applicants having to resubmit them. During the new period, all interested parties may complete and update their documentation. Applications shall be submitted in the form and by the means provided for in the rules, that is, through the General Electronic Registry of the City Council and the other means of article 16.4 of Law 39/2015. The remaining determinations of the rules remain in their own terms.

A technical and legal profile

The functions of the position include advising the Mayor’s Office and municipal services on integrating artificial intelligence into administrative procedures, the analysis and prioritization of automatable procedures, the drafting of compliance reports with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the National Security Framework (Royal Decree 311/2022), the National Interoperability Framework (Royal Decree 4/2010) and data protection regulations, as well as the preparation of tenders for public technological procurement and inter-administrative coordination.

The call also requires a specific knowledge requirement in artificial intelligence applied to the public sector, provable through five alternative ways:

• Official Master’s degree or own degree of 60 ECTS credits, with half of the subjects in this area.
• Specialist degree, own postgraduate degree or university expert degree of 30 credits or 750 hours.
• Accumulated training of 100 teaching hours, with 50 in artificial intelligence.
• A valid professional certification from the closed list in the bases.
• Twelve months of effective experience in design, governance or auditing functions of AI systems.

CELGA 4 or equivalent is also required. The competitive examination phase is worth 75 points (75% of the total score) and the merit phase 25 points, with a maximum of 100.

The adjustment expands the number of people who can apply for a position called to organize the incorporation of artificial intelligence in the smallest local administration. For applicants, the deadline only begins to count from the extract in the BOE and not from the publication in the BOP, a decisive precision to avoid missing an opportunity that is now open to any official university degree from the EHEA.
