Director of Services at Aïn Karma-Oued Rommane: 1 post

The commune of Aïn Karma-Oued Rommane, in Mèknes province, has opened applications for the post of Director of Services. One position (1) is advertised under announcement code R 27272/26. Selection is by selection interview, not a written examination, and the application dossier must be filed in three copies at the commune's registry office.

This article sets out the conditions, documents and procedure as stated in the call for applications, distinguishing the rules that apply to established civil servants from those that apply to contract staff.

Legal and organisational framework

The call relies in particular on Organic Law No. 113.14 on communes, especially Articles 96, 126 and 127, on the general civil service statute and on the statute governing commune staff. It also cites Decree No. 2.11.681 on the appointment of heads of division and heads of service in public administrations, and Decree No. 2.21.580 on appointment to senior posts in commune and district administrations.

Further references include Ministry of the Interior Decision No. 2522.21 of 28 October 2021 setting the conditions and procedures for appointment to certain senior posts, delegation Decision No. 1019.24, and several ministerial circulars. At local level, the call is based on commune council deliberation No. 38, adopted at the extraordinary session of 21 December 2016 on the commune administration's organisational structure, and on council president's decision No. 12 of 21 December 2016.

Who may apply?

The announcement identifies two categories of candidates, with common conditions and conditions specific to each. These should be read carefully before preparing a dossier.

Established civil servants and contract staff of the commune

A candidate must be an established civil servant or a contract staff member of Aïn Karma-Oued Rommane commune and must meet the following conditions:

• be classified at least in the grade of administrator, second grade, or in the State engineer cadre, or in a grade with an equivalent index ranking;
• hold at least a certificate or diploma allowing access to the administrator, third grade, or an equivalent grade;
• have at least two (2) years of actual service as an established civil servant, or three (3) years for contract staff;
• have performed the duties of head of service; this condition may, however, be waived where the needs of the service so require.

Second category: staff performing head of service duties

The call also covers established civil servants and contract staff who, on the date the vacancy for Director of Services is announced, are performing the duties of head of service. Performing those duties on that date is therefore a determining element for this category, and that rule does not automatically extend to all candidates.

Duties of the Director of Services

The Director of Services performs the duties assigned under Organic Law No. 113.14 and decisions of the government authority responsible for the Interior, as well as those set out in the decision organising the administration and defining its competences. The role is therefore a managerial and administrative one, tied to the commune administration's organisational structure and statutory responsibilities.

The application dossier: three essential items

The dossier consists of the following documents:

• A curriculum vitae covering the candidate's qualifications, an outline of their professional career, and the duties and functions they have performed.
• A work programme and methodology proposed by the candidate for managing and developing the commune administration and improving its performance.
• The agreement of the administration to which the candidate belongs, together with the direct supervisor's opinion on the candidate's competence.

The administration's agreement and the supervisor's opinion concern the candidate's relationship with their home administration; they should not be treated as a general document for anyone outside that relationship.

Deadline and filing arrangements

Dossiers must be filed in three (03) copies at the registry office of Aïn Karma-Oued Rommane commune from 23 November 2026 until 7 December 2026 at 16:30, the final deadline for accepting applications.

Practical steps for preparing and filing

1. Check that you belong to the relevant category and meet the grade, diploma and service-length conditions.
2. Prepare a curriculum vitae detailing your professional career and the duties performed.
3. Draft a work programme and methodology for managing and developing the commune administration.
4. Obtain your home administration's agreement and the direct supervisor's opinion on competence.
5. Assemble three complete copies of the dossier.
6. File the dossier at the registry office within the stated period.

Selection and publication of results

Selection takes place through a selection interview. Final results are announced on the public employment portal and posted at the commune's headquarters. The announcement does not specify the interview duration or scoring criteria, so no unpublished details should be assumed.

Summary of key information

Practical preparation checklist
