The tribunal will be presided over by the Director of Human Resources and will include the Head of the Human Resources Service, a representative of the Escola d’Administració Pública de Catalunya, two officials from subgroup A1, and a Human Resources secretary, with a voice but no vote.

The edict was signed by the Deputy for Human Resources, Sandra Castro Bayona, by delegation of Decree 3117 of July 26, 2023, on November 2, 2026.

The call is an internal career opportunity for the house’s public works technical engineers, who can ascend to subgroup A1 without leaving the corporation, and at the same time a way to consolidate own professional staff in a field, that of the local road network, which is a central competence of the Diputació.
