Head of division, urbanism, works, environment and property - 1 post

Martil commune, under the M'diq-Fnideq prefecture, has opened a call for applications to fill one position of responsibility: head of division for urbanism, works, environment and property. The notice carries the code R 27256/26 and sets the application deadline at 18 December 2026, 16:30. Dossiers must be filed at the bureau d'ordre during the administrative hours in force in public administrations.

This is a position of responsibility within the commune's administration. Its holder manages the division's files, oversees their follow-up and coordinates the services attached to the division. This article sets out the eligibility conditions, the missions, the required documents and the selection process, specifying which rule applies to whom.

Legal framework of the notice

The decision to open applications rests on several reference texts, including Dahir No. 1.58.008 of 24 February 1958 on the general statute of the civil service and Dahir No. 1.15.85 of 7 July 2015 implementing Organic Law No. 113.14 on communes.

It is also based on Decree No. 2.77.738 of 27 September 1977 on the particular regulations of local authority staff, Decree No. 2.11.681 of 25 November 2011 on the modalities for appointing heads of division and heads of service in public administrations, and Decree No. 2.21.580 of 31 August 2021 on appointment to senior posts in commune and district administrations, together with the related salaries and allowances.

This framework is completed by Decision No. 1019.24 of the Minister of the Interior of 19 April 2024 on delegation of authority, and by ministerial circulars No. 04790 of 31 July 2018 and No. 07563 of 15 November 2021 on appointment to senior posts in the administrations of territorial collectivities, their bodies, cooperation institutions and groupings of territorial collectivities.

Who may apply

The call for applications is open to two distinct categories. The conditions applicable to each must be carefully distinguished, since some requirements concern only staff serving at Martil commune.

First category: staff of Martil commune

The post is open to all the women and men civil servants serving at Martil commune who meet the following conditions:

• be ranked at least at the grade of administrateur of the second grade, or in the ingénieur d'État cadre, or in one of the grades with a similar indiciary scale;
• hold at least a certificate or diploma allowing access to the grade of administrateur of the third grade or an equivalent grade;
• have, on the date of this notice, at least four (4) years of service as a confirmed civil servant, or five (5) years for contract agents of State administrations and territorial collectivities;
• have exercised the functions of head of service; a waiver of this condition may be granted where the necessity of the service so requires.

The requirement of having served as head of service is therefore not absolute: it may be waived where the needs of the service justify it, which is a case-by-case exception rather than an automatic removal of the requirement.

Second category: confirmed civil servants and contract agents exercising head of division functions

The call is also open to confirmed civil servants and contract agents who, on the date of the announcement of the vacancy for a head of division post, are exercising head of division functions. This category covers those actually performing such functions, not all staff in general.

Missions and attributions of the head of division

The head of division for urbanism, works, environment and property exercises the missions and attributions set out in the annex to the decision. In addition to the attributions devolved to the division, the holder carries out the tasks assigned by the hierarchical superior.

The supervisory scope covers file management, follow-up and coordination among the following services attached to the division:

• the urbanism and territorial management service;
• the property, communal facilities and vehicles service;
• the works, maintenance, delegated management and local development company service.

Required qualities and skills

The annex specifies a set of cognitive, managerial and personal qualities that the candidate should possess or highlight in the dossier and work programme.

Cognitive qualities

• command of the legislation and laws governing the commune's affairs;
• command of the techniques and tools of modern management of communal facilities.

Managerial qualities

• skills in administrative and technical management, including statistical indicators and dashboards;
• skills in managing the division's human resources, such as supervision and teamwork;
• communication skills: persuasiveness, negotiation, conflict management;
• use of IT, communication techniques and modern technologies.

Personal qualities

• demonstrate a sense of responsibility;
• foster initiative.

Application dossier: mandatory and conditional documents

The application dossier consists of the following documents, to be prepared in copies matching the requirements:

• an application letter bearing a recent photograph, accompanied by the direct superior's approval and opinion on the candidate's competence;
• a curriculum vitae presenting the candidate's qualifications, an overview of professional career and the functions and posts held, to be obtained from the commune or downloaded from the public services portal;
• the work programme and methodology proposed by the candidate for managing, developing and improving the performance of the commune's urbanism, works and environment division, in five (5) copies;
• a copy of the appointment decision in the current cadre;
• a copy of the certificate or diploma;
• a copy of the appointment decision to the post of responsibility, where available.

The appointment decision to a post of responsibility is a conditional document: it is added only if the candidate has already held such a post. The work programme, by contrast, is required in five copies, which calls for particular preparation.

Application and selection procedure

Application dossiers are filed at the bureau d'ordre during the administrative hours in force in public administrations, until 18 December 2026 at 16:30, the final deadline for accepting applications.

A commission created by decision of the communal council president selects the dossiers meeting the application conditions and conducts the selection interview. After studying the dossiers, the administration announces the date and place of the selection interview through the publication channels provided, namely the public employment portal, the website of the General Directorate of Territorial Collectivities and the commune's website, with the notice also posted at the commune's headquarters.

The results of the selection interview are announced after approval by the president of the Martil communal council, through the same publication channels.

Practical steps for candidates

1. Check that you belong to one of the two eligible categories: staff of Martil commune, or a confirmed civil servant or contract agent exercising head of division functions.
2. Prepare the application letter with a recent photograph, the direct superior's approval and opinion.
3. Draft the curriculum vitae, highlighting the professional career and functions held.
4. Develop the work programme and division management methodology in five copies.
5. Gather copies of the appointment decision in the current cadre and of the certificate or diploma, adding the appointment decision to a post of responsibility where applicable.
6. File the complete dossier at the bureau d'ordre before the deadline.

Practical information on pay and appointment

Salary: from 4500 to 6900 MAD per month.

Appointment remains subject to the selection procedure, the interview and approval by the communal council president; filing the dossier alone does not guarantee appointment.
