The Ministry of the Interior has opened a call for applications to fill the post of Head of the Travel Planning Division, attached to the Directorate of Urban Mobility and Transport within the General Directorate of Territorial Collectivities. This is one (1) senior responsibility post, advertised under code R 27270/26, with the application deadline set for 25 November 2026. Applications must be submitted through the public employment portal.

The call is addressed to executives of the Ministry of the Interior, both established civil servants and contract staff, who meet the grade and seniority conditions set out in the ministerial order and who wish to take responsibility for a central administrative unit dedicated to planning travel across the national territory.

Post identity and administrative position

The post is that of Head of the Travel Planning Division. Its parent structure is the Directorate of Urban Mobility and Transport, within the General Directorate of Territorial Collectivities. The post therefore sits at central level, with the task of supporting territorial collectivities on urban mobility and transport issues.

The announcement falls within the framework of senior responsibility posts, namely heads of division and heads of service in public administrations, whose appointment procedures are set by Decree No. 1.11.681 of 25 November 2011. The procedure involves selecting applications and then holding an interview before a committee appointed by the Minister of the Interior.

Duties and expected skills

Core mission

The head of division is responsible for preparing strategic studies on mobility and transport and for supporting territorial collectivities in carrying out urban travel studies and all related studies. This requires linking sectoral planning, local public services and the regulatory framework governing urban mobility and transport.

Technical activities

On the technical side, the post holder is expected to:

• make available to territorial collectivities the documents used to prepare urban travel plans (PDU) and other related studies, along with guidance and standardisation guides;
• monitor studies relating to mobility and transport activities;
• support municipalities in preparing mobility planning documents (PMUD, traffic plan, parking, etc.).

Managerial and administrative activities

Managerially, the post holder defines the division's objectives in line with those of the directorate and coordinates the various services within the division. Administratively, the post holder oversees the processing of all correspondence and files relating to the division and ensures the implementation of the division's information system and procedures manual.

Functional relations

Functional relations include internal relations with the various entities of the Ministry of the Interior, and external relations with territorial collectivities and ministerial departments. The post therefore requires the ability to conduct institutional dialogue with a range of actors.

Skills portfolio

The required knowledge covers urban development plans, local public services and the regulations on urban mobility and transport. Practical skills include project management, team management, office work and reporting, communication and negotiation techniques, and the ability to analyse and summarise. Personal qualities include a high sense of organisation, availability and active listening, and leadership.

The job sheet notes that the institutional environment is variable and that technical skills must be developed and renewed continuously.

Eligibility conditions

The call is open to established civil servants and contract staff working at the Ministry of the Interior, under two categories of conditions.

First category: grade and seniority

The candidate must:

• have been promoted at least to the second grade of administrator, or belong to the State engineer cadre, or to one of the grades with an equivalent index;
• show, as of the date of publication of the order, at least four (4) years of actual service as an established civil servant, or five (5) years for contract staff, in State administrations and territorial collectivities.

Second category: civil servants performing the duties of head of division

The call is also open to established civil servants and contract staff working at the Ministry of the Interior who, on the date of the announcement, perform the duties of head of division. The conditions specific to each category remain limited to what the order provides, without extending one condition to another category.

Application file and required documents

The application must be registered on the electronic application portal during the period set by the order. The file, downloaded from the public employment portal, consists of the following documents:

• the application letter;
• the application form accompanied by the approval of the administration to which the candidate belongs, together with the opinion of the direct supervisor on the candidate's competence;
• the work programme and methodology proposed by the candidate for managing, developing and improving the performance of the administrative unit concerned.

Any application that does not include the required documents, or that is submitted by any means other than the one indicated, will not be accepted. It is advisable to prepare and have these documents endorsed before the deadline, since the administration's approval and the direct supervisor's opinion are essential to a complete file.

Application process, step by step

1. Check that you meet the grade and seniority condition, or that you belong to the category of civil servants performing the duties of head of division.
2. Prepare the application letter and form, and obtain the administration's approval and the direct supervisor's opinion.
3. Draft a work programme and methodology for managing, developing and improving the division's performance.
4. Assemble the file and upload it through the public employment portal dedicated to senior responsibility posts.
5. Submit the application online before 25 November 2026, without waiting for the final day.

Selection and interview

A committee appointed by the Minister of the Interior selects the files that meet the application conditions and conducts the interview. Files are first examined against the formal conditions, then skills and the proposed programme are assessed at the interview.

Practical information

Salary: from 4500 to 6900 MAD per month. The order and its annexes are published on the public employment portal and posted at the headquarters of the General Directorate of Territorial Collectivities and the Directorate of Human Resources, as well as at the headquarters of the Kingdom's prefectures and provinces.

It should be noted that this call concerns a single senior responsibility post and should not be confused with other grade-based recruitment announcements. Candidates must submit a file that complies with the set conditions, since any missing document or any submission by a means other than the electronic channel will expose the application to rejection.
