The three positions, classified under Special Administration, Group/Subgroup C/C1, were called for via open access through a competitive examination system, in execution of the public employment offers for the years 2022 (BOP No. 54, May 6, 2022), 2023 (BOP No. 97, August 11, 2023), and 2024 (BOP No. 90, July 26, 2024). The call was approved by the Island Governing Council in the session of August 9, 2024, and the appointment proposal was issued by the Qualifying Board on August 12, 2026, after the candidates successfully passed the tests.
