Recruitment competition for an architect at the El Kelâa des Sraghna-Rhamna Urban Agency

The El Kelâa des Sraghna-Rhamna Urban Agency, a public establishment under the supervision of the Ministry of National Territory Planning, Urbanism, Housing and City Policy, is organising a competition to recruit a first-grade architect (scale 11), in order to fill one post under a regular recruitment procedure. The competition bears the code C 44584/26, and applications are submitted exclusively through the emploi-public platform.

This opportunity is aimed at architects holding the required diplomas who wish to join a public establishment working in the fields of urban planning and territorial development across the province of El Kelâa des Sraghna and the province of Rhamna, for assignments related to studies, urban management and regulation.

Salary: from 8000 to 11500 MAD per month.

Key facts about the competition

Before examining the conditions and procedure in detail, it is useful to set out the administrative and numerical facts of the competition as announced:

• Organising administration: El Kelâa des Sraghna-Rhamna Urban Agency.
• Grade: first-grade architect — scale 11.
• Number of posts: one post.
• Recruitment type: regular recruitment.
• Submission method: through the emploi-public platform only.
• Competition code: C 44584/26.
• Application deadline: 25 November 2026 at 16:30.
• Publication date: 9 November 2026.

Eligibility conditions

Article 3 of the opening order sets out a series of conditions that each candidate must meet, relating to nationality, age, diploma and disciplinary status:

• Hold Moroccan nationality.
• Be no older than 45 years on the date of recruitment.
• Hold a diploma or a recognised equivalence certificate allowing recruitment in the required specialty, namely architecture.
• Not be registered in the administrations' central disciplinary register.

Note on the diploma and equivalence

The competition requires an architect's diploma or a recognised equivalence certificate. For diplomas obtained from foreign institutions, an equivalence certificate is required and must be attached to the application file. This general condition must be distinguished from the specific situation of civil servants: the agreement of the employing administration concerns only candidates who hold the status of fonctionnaire or agent, and is not a requirement for all candidates.

Documents making up the application file

Article 4 provides that the application file must contain the following documents:

• An application to take part in the competition stating the candidate's first and last names, personal and electronic addresses and telephone number, and bearing their signature.
• A curriculum vitae accompanied by a photograph of the candidate.
• A certified copy of the national identity card.
• An equivalence certificate for diplomas obtained from foreign institutions.
• If the candidate is a fonctionnaire or agent, the agreement of the administration to which they belong is required, together with the opinion of their direct superior on their performance.

Candidates are advised to ensure that all documents are legible and that each element of the file matches the requirements, since any file that does not meet the eligibility conditions or is received through a means other than the one specified is considered null and void.

Application procedure and file submission

Applications are made exclusively through the electronic emploi-public platform, by uploading an electronic copy of all the documents in the application file. Article 8 sets the deadline at 25 November 2026 at 16:30.

1. Advance preparation: gather the required documents and check the nationality, age, diploma and disciplinary conditions.
2. Draft the application including the required personal information (name, personal and electronic address, telephone number) and sign it.
3. Prepare the curriculum vitae with an identity photograph.
4. Obtain a certified copy of the national identity card.
5. Attach the equivalence certificate where applicable, or the agreement of the employing administration for civil servants.
6. Upload the electronic copy of all documents to the emploi-public platform before the deadline expires.

Any file that does not meet the eligibility conditions or is received by a means other than the electronic channel mentioned above is considered null and void. Candidates are therefore advised not to wait until the last moment in order to avoid possible technical difficulties.

Competition tests

Article 6 states that the competition comprises two tests: a written test and an oral test.

The written test

The written test relates to the required specialty and to the field of activity of the urban agency, and lasts three hours.

The oral test

During the oral test, which lasts fifteen minutes, the competition panel discusses various topics and issues in order to assess the candidate's ability to carry out the tasks and functions associated with the post concerned.

Pass and selection rules

Candidates who obtain a mark of at least 10 out of 20 in the written test are admitted to the oral test. The candidate finally selected is the one who obtains the highest average, calculated by dividing the sum of the marks of the two tests by two.

Tasks attached to the post

The attached job sheet specifies that the recruited architect will work within the Department of Studies and Topography and the Department of Urban Management and Regulation, with the following tasks:

• Processing applications for authorisation to build, to create housing groups, to subdivide and to parcel land.
• Taking part in the preparation and monitoring of urban planning documents and of specific and general studies.
• Preparing and processing files relating to authorisation applications.
• Representing the Agency on the various committees examining applications for authorisation to build, to create housing groups, to subdivide and to parcel land.
• Taking part in the pre-processing of files programmed within the framework of the CRUI.
• Taking part in the evaluation of tenders for architectural consultations.
• Taking part in the preparation or monitoring of urban planning documents, specific and general studies.
• Any task in which the Urban Agency is involved and which requires the architect profile.

Practical preparation advice

The following practical advice may help candidates prepare; it is non-official guidance and does not replace the announced conditions:

• Review urban planning, regulation and building-permit procedures, since the written test covers the urban agency's field of activity.
• Prepare an orderly and legible file, and have the copy of the national identity card certified.
• Check in advance whether an equivalence certificate is available if the diploma was issued by a foreign institution.
• Upload the file to the electronic platform well before the deadline.
• Prepare for the oral test by practising how to present your experience and your architecture- and urban-planning-related tasks.

In summary

This single-post competition offers a professional prospect for architects wishing to work within an urban agency, with a focus on the architectural specialty and the field of urban planning. Compliance with the conditions, deadlines and required documents remains decisive, since any shortcoming may lead to the cancellation of the application.
