Brazil municipal job contests

In late July 2026, the municipality of Salto Veloso in Santa Catarina announced a public hiring process (Edital 014/2026) offering positions in health, education, social assistance, administration and infrastructure, with salaries ranging from R$ 2,045.84 to R$ 9,151.71. Registration was opened from 30 July to 28 August, with exams slated for September and October. The announcement was accompanied by a release of the local voter profile, detailing 3,448 eligible voters.

A few days later, on 2 August 2026, the municipality of Pedro Teixeira in Minas Gerais issued its own contest for roughly 120‑125 immediate municipal posts across similar sectors. Salary offers spanned from R$ 1,621 to R$ 5,494.76, with the highest pay for a pharmacist/bio‑chemist role. Applications were accepted online from 30 September to 30 October, and the written exam was scheduled for 29 November, followed by practical tests for technical positions. Both announcements illustrate a broader pattern of Brazilian local governments launching coordinated public hiring drives in mid‑2026 to staff municipal services.
