A Graduate degree in Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) or equivalent and a valid class B driver’s license are required.

The specific required qualification is one of the following:

The deadline is ten business days from the day following the publication of the announcement in the BOPH. The provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates will be published on the municipal electronic office, with three business days for corrections.

Practical tests and merit scale

The competitive phase is mandatory and eliminatory, with a maximum of 60 points and a minimum overall score of 30 to pass. It will consist of practical tests on the assembly and repair of electrical installations, interpretation of diagrams, use of measuring instruments, building maintenance work, and the application of occupational risk prevention measures. The maximum total time will be 60 minutes, and operations will be carried out on installations without voltage.

The merit phase, which is non-eliminatory, provides up to 40 points and only applies to those who pass the competitive phase:

• Professional experience: up to 20 points, with 2 points per year in the electricity specialty and 1 point per year in municipal brigade functions.
• Additional academic qualifications: up to 7 points, at a rate of 2.5 per degree.
• Driving licenses: up to 4 points, for the C license with CAP and for the B+E.

The call for applications exhausts the administrative route and may be challenged by means of an appeal for reversal within one month before the Mayor’s Office or by means of a contentious-administrative appeal within two months before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Huesca.

The call for applications represents an opportunity for permanent public employment in Alto Gállego, in a mountain tourist municipality where the maintenance of lighting and municipal facilities is particularly demanding during the winter season. The requirement for on-call shifts with a 30-minute response time reflects the importance of having qualified personnel to cover electrical incidents within the municipal district.
