Technician (3rd Grade) Recruitment at the National Higher School of Mines, Rabat

Recruitment competition: 3rd-grade technician at the National Higher School of Mines in Rabat

The École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Rabat is holding a competition to recruit one (01) 3rd-grade technician, scale 9, as part of a regular recruitment process. The opportunity targets holders of a specialised technician diploma or a recognised equivalent, in technical fields linked to chemical engineering, energy engineering, materials science – chemistry and process engineering.

The competition carries the code C 44587/26. The examination is scheduled for 29 November 2026, and applications close on 23 November 2026 at 16:30. The announcement was published on 9 November 2026.

A single post and clearly defined technical specialties

The competition concerns a single post, to be filled at the 3rd grade of scale 9. The specialties listed are:

• chemical engineering;
• energy engineering;
• materials science – chemistry;
• process engineering.

The announcement gives no numerical allocation among these specialties: the total number of posts remains one, and the listed specialties define eligibility areas for that single post, without a quota being assigned to each of them.

Eligibility conditions

Nationality and age

Candidates must hold Moroccan nationality and meet the legal age condition for sitting the competition, namely at least 18 years and no more than 40 years for non-civil servants.

Required diploma

Candidates must hold a specialised technician diploma issued by one of the vocational training institutions established under Decree No. 2-86-325 of 8 Jumada I 1407 (9 January 1987) laying down the general statute of vocational training institutions, as amended and supplemented, or one of the recognised equivalent diplomas determined in accordance with the regulatory provisions in force.

The equivalence condition concerns only holders of diplomas not expressly covered; equivalence must be established under the applicable regulatory texts, and a copy of the equivalence decision must accompany the application file where relevant.

Reserved shares

25% of the posts open to competition are reserved for persons with the status of resistance fighter, ward of the Nation, former military serviceman or former combatant. In addition, 7% of the posts are reserved for persons with disabilities holding the "person with disability" card.

These two reserved shares are independent of each other and are not calculated one within the other: each applies to the total number of posts open to competition, as stated in the announcement.

Competition tests

The competition comprises a written test and an oral or practical test, or both, as detailed below:

Written test

The written test consists of a general question or multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on various topics, or topics related to the sector concerned, the required specialties, or the duties and functions to be performed. It lasts three hours and has a coefficient of 3.

Oral or practical test

The panel discusses with the candidate various topics and issues related to the School's specialties, or subjects the candidate to a practical test falling within the duties of the technician corps, in order to assess the candidate's ability to perform the duties and functions attached to the grade concerned. This test lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and has a coefficient of 2.

Only candidates who obtain an average of at least 12 out of 20 in the written test, without any eliminatory mark, qualify for the oral test. This condition is decisive in the selection process: passing the written test at the required level is the gateway to the next stage.

Application file

The application file must contain the following documents and must be complete to avoid being disregarded:

• a handwritten request bearing the candidate's name, telephone number and email address, addressed to the Director of the École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Rabat;
• an updated curriculum vitae including a photograph and the candidate's address;
• a certified copy of the original diploma or of one of the recognised equivalent diplomas determined in accordance with the regulatory provisions in force, accompanied by a copy of the equivalence decision;
• a certified copy of the original electronic national identity card;
• a final authorisation issued by the human resources management services to sit the competition, for candidates who are civil servants.

The final authorisation concerns only candidates who are civil servants and is not required from other candidates. Any application file missing one of the documents listed above will not be taken into consideration.

How to apply and deadlines

Application files must be submitted through the School's electronic application platform; no submission through another channel is accepted. 23 November 2026 at 16:30 is the final deadline for submitting applications.

1. Gather the required documents and check that they comply with the announced conditions.
2. Have copies of the diploma and the national identity card certified by the competent authorities.
3. Prepare the handwritten request and the updated curriculum vitae with photograph and address.

Publication of results and preparation for the competition

The list of candidates admitted to the written test will be published on the civil service website and on the School's website; this list serves as the candidates' invitation. Candidates are advised to check both websites regularly so as not to miss any information.

For practical preparation, candidates may follow these steps:

• review the fundamentals of chemical engineering, energy engineering, process engineering and materials science, in line with the required specialties;
• practise multiple-choice questions on topics related to the sector concerned;
• prepare for an oral or practical test on the duties of the technician corps and the School's specialties;
