Recruitment competition: third-grade technician in Larache

Recruitment competition for a third-grade technician at the Province of Larache

The Province of Larache has announced a regular recruitment competition to fill one position as a third-grade technician, scale 9, in the urban planning and building specialty. The competition carries the code C 44413/26 and was published on 5 November 2026. It is open to candidates who meet the conditions set out in the opening order.

The competition will take place on Sunday 13 December 2026 at nine in the morning at the multidisciplinary faculty of Larache. The deadline for submitting applications is Friday 26 November 2026 at 16:30. These two dates are key stages: candidates must first prepare and submit their file within the deadline before preparing for the tests.

Salary: from 5500 to 7500 MAD per month.

Specialty and number of positions

This notice concerns a single specialty, urban planning and building, for one position. This figure should not be read as a share of a larger total: it is the position offered in this specific competition. The opening order, as published, also refers to other grades and specialties within a broader regulatory framework; however, the notice presented here reserves one position for the urban planning and building specialty at the third-grade technician level.

Eligibility requirements

The competition is open to candidates who meet the following conditions:

• Moroccan nationality.
• Enjoyment of civil rights and the physical and mental capacity to perform the duties.
• Being at least 18 and at most 40 years old on the date of the competition, for third-grade technicians.
• Holding the specialised technician diploma awarded by vocational training institutions established under Decree No. 2.86.325 of 9 January 1987, or a recognised equivalent under Decree No. 2.12.90 of 8 Jumada II 1433 (30 April 2012).

It should be noted that diploma equivalence applies only to holders of the diplomas expressly mentioned in the order and cannot be extended to other qualifications not provided for in the source. Likewise, the category C driving licence requirement is set out in the order in the context of the mechanical specialty and does not apply to the urban planning and building specialty.

Reserved shares and priorities

The order reserves 25% of the positions for persons with resistance fighter, ward of the nation or military status, and 7% for persons with disabilities holding a disability card issued under Article 8 of Decree No. 2.97.218 of 8 Sha'ban 1418 (19 September 1997). These two percentages are independent of each other: one is not a fraction of the other.

Tests and selection criteria

The competition consists of a written test and an oral or practical test, or both, as follows:

• Written test: a general subject or multiple-choice questions (MCQ) on the duties or functions to be performed or on the powers of territorial collectivities. Duration: three hours. Coefficient: 4.
• Oral or practical test: a discussion of various topics and issues, or a practical test in the required specialty, or both, to assess the candidate's ability to perform the duties related to the grade concerned. Duration: between 15 and 45 minutes. Coefficient: 3.

The written test is marked out of 20. Only candidates with an average of at least 12 out of 20 in the written test are admitted to the oral test. The competition panel draws up the list of successful candidates within the number of positions advertised, together with a waiting list by merit among candidates with an average of at least 10 out of 20 and no eliminatory mark.

Application file and required documents

Applications are submitted, according to grade and specialty, to the registry office of the Province of Larache during public administration working hours, from the day the order is published until Friday 26 November 2026 at 16:30, against a receipt. They may also be sent by registered post to the following address: 209 Avenue du Laurier, Lotissement Maroc Nouveau, Larache; the date of the postal stamp is decisive. Any file that does not include the required documents or is submitted after the deadline will be excluded.

The application file must contain the following documents:

• An application for the recruitment competition stating the candidate's full name, permanent address, telephone number, email address and the grade chosen.
• A copy of the diploma or certificate in the required specialty, or a recognised equivalent under the applicable regulations. Any file containing a diploma or certificate that does not match the required levels and specialties, or containing only a certificate of success, will be rejected.
• A copy of the valid national identity card.
• An original copy of the criminal record and the birth certificate.
• A curriculum vitae with a recent identity photograph.
• Authorisation from the employing administration to sit the competition, for candidates with civil servant status, failing which the application will be rejected or removed from the final list of successful candidates.
• A copy of the certificate establishing resistance fighter, ward of the nation, former military or former combatant status, for those concerned.
• A certificate of registration on the lists of persons with disabilities, for candidates in that situation.
• Where applicable, any document proving the scientific skills and competences required to perform the duties of the position.

Candidates with resistance fighter, ward of the nation, former military or former combatant status submit their applications through the administrations responsible for managing their affairs.

Application process

1. Check the general conditions: nationality, civil rights, age on the competition date and the required diploma.
2. Draft the application stating the grade and specialty precisely.
3. Gather the required documents, ensuring that administrative documents are valid and that the diploma matches the required level and specialty.
4. Submit the file to the registry office against a receipt, or send it by registered post before the deadline.
5. Wait for publication of the list of candidates admitted to the competition, which serves as an official invitation.

After admission

The lists of admitted candidates and the results are published on the public employment portal, the portal of the Directorate General of Territorial Collectivities and the municipality's electronic portal; this publication serves as an invitation to the competition. Candidates definitively admitted must present the original diploma or certificate in the specialty concerned and provide two copies certified true to the original, failing which they will not be admitted. They must also complete their administrative file with the documents required by regulation for their appointment. Any missing document automatically cancels the admission, and the candidate concerned is replaced by the next person on the waiting list according to order and merit, provided that person meets all the conditions of the order.

Practical preparation checklist

In light of this notice, candidates can prepare by revising topics related to the powers of territorial collectivities and the duties of the position, practising MCQs, and preparing for an oral or practical discussion in urban planning and building. It is also useful to keep extra copies of the diploma, national identity card, criminal record and birth certificate, and to check the accuracy of the information in the application. This checklist is a practical tool and does not replace the official conditions set by the order.

The competition therefore offers only one place, making compliance with deadlines, a rigorous file and serious preparation for the tests particularly decisive.
