The Provincial Council of Badajoz expands its job offers with 51 positions

The Presidency of the Provincial Council of Badajoz has expanded the 2026 Public Employment Offer with the addition of 51 civil service positions linked to the Consortium for the Management of Environmental Services of the Provincial Council of Badajoz (PROMEDIO). The decision is formalized through the Resolution of November 5, 2026, signed by President Raquel del Puerto Carrasco, and published in the Official Gazette of Extremadura No. 219, dated November 13, 2026, with official reference 2026062924.

The modification affects section A) of Annex II of the Offer approved by the Presidency Resolution of April 17, 2026, published in the DOE No. 81, dated April 29, 2026. That block of cross-horizontal internal promotion consisted of 58 positions: 42 from the Provincial Council and 16 from the Autonomous Body for Tax Collection and Management (OAR).

The expansion is part of the Framework Agreement for cooperation and improvement of provincial public employment, signed on January 29, 2026, and published in the Official Provincial Gazette No. 34, dated February 20, 2026, whose Block I includes measures for the conversion of permanent labor staff to civil servant status and cross-internal promotion. In development of these provisions, the 2026 Public Employment Planning Master Plan of PROMEDIO determines in its Annex II the 51 civil service positions for the legal regime change process.

The 51 positions being added

The single annex of the resolution details the distribution by designation, group, and regime, all of which are of a civil service nature:

• 5 positions for Senior Environmental Management Technician (group A1).
• 1 position for ITOP (group A2).
• 10 positions for Intermediate Environmental Management Technician (group A2).
• 1 position for Intermediate Project Management Technician (group A2).
• 11 positions for Auxiliary Environmental Management Technician (group C1).
• 2 positions for Auxiliary IT Technician (group C1).
• 9 positions for Administrative Assistant (group C2).
• 6 positions for Heavy Vehicle Driver (group C2).
• 6 positions for Laborer (group E).

From 42 to 93 positions in section A)

The second section of the resolution quantifies the effect: section A) of Annex II increases from 42 to 93 positions, and the total for the cross-horizontal internal promotion block rises from 58 to 109 positions, with its heading to be understood as updated accordingly. The 16 positions of the OAR remain unchanged, as do the rest of the determinations, sections, and annexes of the 2026 Offer.

The processing is based on previous agreements: the General Assembly of PROMEDIO approved the Master Plan on June 8, 2026, along with the modification of the List of Job Positions, with errors rectified by a diligence of the Delegated Secretariat on June 11, 2026. Subsequently, the Plenary of the Provincial Council of Badajoz, in a session on June 30, 2026, took note of the Consortium’s agreements and approved the specific modification of the staff in file 2026/4/PRP-MPL, related to file 2026/1/PRP/MPL-PROMEDIO. The final approval was published in the BOP No. 139, of July 23, 2026, with a correction in the BOP No. 189, of October 2, 2026.

Legal basis and process guarantees

The resolution invokes articles 69 and 70.3 of the revised text of the Law of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30, and articles 26, 27, and 29.4 of Law 13/2015, of April 8, on the Public Service of Extremadura, as well as article 34.1.g) of Law 7/1985, of April 2, regulating the Bases of the Local Regime. Regarding the replacement rate, article 20.Three.4.b) of Law 31/2022, of December 23, establishes that positions announced via internal promotion and the cessations derived from those processes do not count for such purposes.

The selection processes called to fill the incorporated positions must comply with the regulations for cross-horizontal internal promotion and guarantee the principles of equality, merit, and capacity, as well as those of publicity and the others listed in article 55.2 of the revised text and article 88 of Law 13/2015. The resolution is based on the proposal report from the Directorate of the Public Employees, Occupational Health and Safety Area dated October 30, 2026, and the favorable legal report from the Head of the Administration Service of that area, dated November 4, 2026.

Impact on the provincial staff

The expansion directly interests provincial public employees aspiring to promote without changing administrations and the permanent contractual staff of PROMEDIO affected by the change in legal regime, for whom the offer implements the conversion of their employment relationship into civil service status. The publication in the DOE opens the way for the Public Employees, Occupational Health and Safety Area to process the corresponding calls, meaning that candidates and personnel entitled to cross-horizontal internal promotion should stay alert to the guidelines to be published in the coming weeks.
