The Pontevedra Consortium is offering five firefighter positions for its stations

The Provincial Consortium of Pontevedra for the Provision of Firefighting and Rescue Services has approved its public employment offer for the year 2026, which includes five permanent labor staff positions in the provincial fire stations. The decision was made by the Presidency of the organization through the Resolution dated 10/20/2026, No. 2026-0165 (file 87/2026), and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO) No. 217, corresponding to Tuesday, November 10, 2026, in the Other Entities section. Four of the positions are newly created and the fifth covers a vacancy generated by retirement.

Five positions, two professional profiles

The offer breaks down the positions into two categories, all classified in group C2 and all to be filled via the competitive examination (concurso-oposición) system:

• 4 positions for shift leader-driver, framed in Group I (Management), with a professional classification of group I management.
• 1 position for firefighter-driver, framed in Group II.

The total operational staff offered is five positions, which are vacant and budgetarily endowed in the 2026 permanent labor staff framework.

From the December Plenary to the authorization of the Deputación

The resolution of the Presidency supports its processing based on several precedents. The Plenary of the Consortium, in its session on December 16, 2025, definitively approved, along with the 2026 Budget, the Staff Framework, which contemplated the creation of four permanent labor staff positions in the category of shift leader-drivers.

The fifth position arises from the termination of a contract due to retirement: the Resolution dated 03/13/2025, No. 2025-0044 declared the employment contract of Juan Carlos Peiteado Fandiño, permanent labor staff of the Consortium as a firefighter-driver, terminated.

Furthermore, in compliance with Article 121 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector, the Provincial Deputation of Pontevedra, as the attaching entity, authorized the Consortium to offer the five positions through the corresponding public employment offer.

Legal basis and method of provision

The text invokes Article 70.1 of the recast text of the Law of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30, which requires the inclusion of human resource needs with budgetary allocation in the offer and its publication in the corresponding official gazette. In accordance, Article 91.1 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, Regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, and Article 204.1 of Law 2/2015, of April 29, on Public Employment in Galicia, are cited, which set a deadline of one month from the approval of the budget to publish the offer.

For permanent contractual staff, article 11.2 of the I Collective Agreement for the Operational Contractual Staff of the Fire Stations dependent on the Consortium establishes that the applicable system shall be competitive examination or competitive merit-based examination, the option chosen by the body. The competence of the Presidency derives from article 14.8.1º of the Statutes, and the proposal was the result of the General Negotiation Table.

Next steps and resources

According to the agreement, the positions will be filled through a public call that will be published in the BOPPO with its corresponding bases and programs, with an extract in the Official Gazette of Galicia (DOG) and in the Official State Gazette (BOE). The resolution is signed by the president of the Consortium, Luis López Diéguez, and certified by the secretary-intervenor, M.ª Teresa Escudero Barral.

Against the resolution, which ends the administrative route, an optional appeal for reversal may be filed before the Presidency within one month from the day following publication, in accordance with article 124.1 of Law 39/2015, or a contentious-administrative appeal before the competent court within two months, according to article 46 of Law 29/1998, of July 13.

The offer is relevant for the sector’s personnel and for the municipalities with stations dependent on the Consortium: four of the five positions are for middle management and reinforce the operational staff, while the fifth vacancy recovers a firefighter-driver position lost due to retirement, which directly affects the coverage of fire services in the province.
