Applications shall be addressed to the Mayor’s Office and submitted electronically through the Electronic Office of the Most Excellent Provincial Council of Ávila or through the means provided for in article 16.4 of Law 39/2015; each applicant may submit only one application.

Selection process: merit-based competitive examination

The competitive examination phase accounts for 60% of the total assessment and consists of a theoretical-practical multiple-choice exam, with a maximum of 25 questions and three alternative answers, on the subjects of the syllabus: Spanish Constitution of 1978, territorial organisation, occupational risk prevention, equality and gender-based violence, and trades such as masonry, plumbing, electricity, carpentry, painting and gardening. The competition phase, the remaining 40%, assesses the merits accredited together with the application:

• Professional experience: up to 4.00 points (0.20 per full year in public administrations in an identical post; 0.08 per year in private entities in analogous positions).
• Training courses: up to 2.00 points, according to accredited hours (from 0.10 to 0.50 points per course).

In the event of a tie, it shall be resolved by the highest score in the competitive examination and, successively, by the greatest public experience, the greatest private experience and the greatest number of courses; if it persists, it shall be decided by draw.

Committee, employment pool and appointment

The selection committee, of collegiate composition and with qualifications equal to or higher than those required, shall be appointed by resolution of the competent body. Once the application deadline has ended, the provisional list of admitted and excluded applicants shall be published on the notice board, with a period of 10 calendar days for allegations or correction of defects. Applicants who do not pass the process shall form an employment pool for the category of skilled construction worker, ordered by the score of the competitive examination phase and approved by resolution of the Mayor’s Office. The proposed applicant must submit the documentation within 20 calendar days and sign the employment contract within 30 days following notification; against the resolution, an appeal for reconsideration may be lodged within one month, or a contentious-administrative appeal within two months, before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Ávila.

The call consolidates the municipality’s commitment to strengthening its municipal services with stable employment and opens a job opportunity for construction and trade professionals in the Piedrahíta region, with a process that combines a theoretical-practical exam and assessment of previous experience.
