Logroño announces 23 operator positions and removes the required qualification

The Local Governing Board of the Logroño City Council approved on November 4, 2026, the modification of the rules and the call to fill 23 permanent positions for Operator, with the removal of the qualification previously required. The agreement, signed by Mayor Conrado Escobar Las Heras, is published in the Official Gazette of La Rioja number 217, dated November 10, 2026 (reference BOR-A-20261110-II–1253, file 202611060125479), on pages 19021 to 19032.

Change in requirements and distribution of positions

The modification affects the second rule, first section, and consists of eliminating the required qualification, such that the new requirement applies to all applicants and not only to those applying from now on. The original rules were approved on September 17, 2025, and published in the Official Gazette of La Rioja number 182, dated September 19, 2025; the corrected text is displayed in full on the municipal website and is attached to the agreement.

The positions correspond to the Special Administration scale, Special Services subscale, Trade Personnel category, Group/Subgroup Civil Servant Grouping, and are distributed as follows:

• 2022 Public Employment Offer: 4 positions (3 open access and 1 reserved for people with disabilities).
• 2023 Public Employment Offer: 8 positions (7 open access and 1 reserved).
• 2024 Public Employment Offer: 7 positions.
• 2025 Public Employment Offer: 4 positions (3 open access and 1 reserved).

In total, 20 positions are open access and 3 are reserved for people with a disability equal to or greater than 33%. If those three are not filled, they will be added to the general access list.

Competition and examination with three eliminatory exercises

The selection system is a competition-examination (concurso-oposición). The competition phase evaluates services rendered (maximum 11 points) and training courses (maximum 2.50), with a ceiling of 13.50 points; the examination consists of three mandatory and eliminatory exercises, each worth up to 10 points with a minimum of 5 points:

• First exercise: a multiple-choice questionnaire of 65 questions (60 evaluable and 5 reserve) based on the syllabus in the annex, with 120 minutes and 0.1667 points per correct answer.
• Second exercise: identification and classification of materials and tools from municipal works, with 55 questions (50 computable) and one hour.
• Third exercise: one or several physical tests of strength, skill, or agility, with a maximum of 30 minutes and scales differentiated by gender.

Requirements include being 16 years of age, holding Spanish nationality or that of a European Union member state, functional capacity, possessing a class B driver’s license or equivalent, and paying the examination fee. The Evaluating Tribunal will be of the third category and will consist of a presidency, four members, and a secretariat, with a voice but no vote.

Twenty business days, fee of 32.71 euros, and appeals

Applications must be submitted within 20 business days from the day following the publication of the call summary in the Official State Gazette, at the General Registry of the City Council or the Auxiliary Registry of the General Directorate of Knowledge and Professional Competencies, both located in the City Hall (Avenida de la Paz, 11). The fee amounts to 32.71 euros and is reduced to 1.04 euros for those who prove their unemployment status.

The agreement exhausts the administrative route: a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed before the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Court of First Instance of Logroño within two months and, optionally, a motion for reconsideration within one month.

The call arrives with four accumulated years of job offers and with the degree requirement removed, which expands the number of people who can apply for a permanent municipal operator position in Logroño after years of pending processes.
