Reus opens six job positions for internal promotion at the city council

The Reus City Council has published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Tarragona (BOPT) of 17 August 2026 the call for six job positions intended for staff already providing services to the city council. The two resolutions, issued by means of a Decree of the Mayor’s Office dated 31 July 2026, approve the specific rules that must govern these selection processes, all of which are included in the Public Employment Offers of the year 2023 and, in part, of 2026.

The calls are aimed exclusively at permanent or interim labour staff of the Reus City Council, within the framework of the internal promotion round. This is a specific opportunity for the city’s public employees —the largest in the demarcation of Tarragona— to consolidate their employment position within the city council.

The positions called

The six positions are distributed across two separate notices:

• 5 positions of second-class trades officer (group C, subgroup C2), called by means of Decree of the Mayor’s Office number 2026018130 and identified with the CVE 2026-07632. Two of these positions come from the 2023 Public Employment Offer and three from the 2026 one.
• 1 position of first-class master bricklayer (group C, subgroup C2), called by means of Decree of the Mayor’s Office number 2026018129 and identified with the CVE 2026-07634, included in the 2023 Public Employment Offer.

Both categories share basic maintenance functions, control of facilities, multi-purpose support to the municipal Brigade and materials management tasks.

Requirements to participate

Applicants must meet the following requirements on the last day for submitting applications:

• Be permanent labour staff of the Reus City Council or be occupying a position on an interim basis in the internal promotion round.
• Have a minimum seniority of two years in the lower subgroup or professional classification group.
• Hold the qualification of school graduate, ESO graduate, intermediate-level vocational training technician or first-grade vocational training.
• Accredit the intermediate (B2) level of Catalan language, or pass a specific test at this level.
• Hold a B class driving licence.
• Justify payment of the registration fee of 24.45 euros (exempt for persons in unemployment without benefit).

Selection system: competitive examination

The selection process consists of four exercises in the examination phase: a theoretical test of 50 questions (eliminatory), a test of Catalan language knowledge, a practical test of two hours on the subjects of the syllabus and a competency-based interview. Merits will be assessed according to a specific scale that includes years of service provided to the administration.

The application submission period begins the day after publication in the BOPT and will end twenty calendar days counted from the day after the publication of the extract in the Official State Gazette (BOE). Applications must be submitted electronically through the municipal electronic office (www.reus.cat).

Calendar and Next Steps

The selection tests will begin during the fourth quarter of 2026. Once the application period has ended, the provisional list of accepted and excluded candidates will be published in the Official Gazette of the Government of Catalonia (DOGC), on the corporation’s electronic notices board, and on the municipal website.

The publication of these calls represents an important step towards the consolidation of the jobs of the labor staff of the Reus City Council, allowing six public employees to access a permanent position through an internal promotion process. The Reus council is the most important in the Tarragona region in terms of staff, and these positions are part of the replacement plan provided for in the Public Employment Offers.
