Examination fees amount to 24.78 euros, with the exemptions and discounts provided for in the Fiscal Ordinance regulating the fee. Payment shall be made through the Council’s fee platform, and failure to do so will result in exclusion from the process.

The selection process

The competitive examination consists of three eliminatory exercises, followed by a three-month internship period:

• Third exercise: a written development of two topics from the syllabus, lasting 3 hours, graded from 0 to 30 points (minimum 15).

The Examining Board will be composed of career civil servants from the Provincial Council of Soria, the Regional Government of Castilla y León, and the Soria City Council. Once the examination phase is completed, a single employment pool will be established consisting of candidates who have passed at least the first two exercises, ordered by score, to fill temporary vacancies within the service.

Relevance of the call

The call represents a significant employment opportunity for technical graduates in the province, as it offers a permanent position in the provincial administration and, complementarily, an employment pool that will allow for the agile filling of temporary substitutions in the Projects and Environment Service. The process, signed by the second vice-president, José Antonio de Miguel Nieto, in Soria on September 7, 2026, reinforces the human resources planning of the Provincial Council and the stability of its civil servant staff.
