Anyone planning to apply for the simplified selection process run by the Brazilian Agency for Support to SUS Management (AgSUS) for the Specialized Service in Safety Engineering and Occupational Medicine (SESMT) needs to check two things at the same time: the requirements for the position and the current schedule. That is especially important in this selection because, as of September 2, 2026, two official publications show different dates.
A Cebraspe notice updated on September 1, 2026 says applications are free and open from September 9 to 22, with the online objective test on November 1. However, the PDF of Notice No. 99/2026 made available by AgSUS, signed on August 17, still lists applications from September 16 to October 16 and the test on November 22. The notice itself states that changes to its rules require a formal amendment and that the schedule may be changed through an official communication.
For that reason, the safest operational rule is straightforward: before submitting an application, check the Cebraspe selection page and the latest notice or amendment. The updated news item is newer than the original PDF, but when a formal amendment has been published, the document currently in force is the one that should govern the process.
Which positions are included in AgSUS SESMT 2026
Notice No. 99/2026 is intended to create a reserve list. Approval does not automatically create a right to be hired; any call-up depends on institutional needs and follows the ranking order by position, Special Indigenous Health District (DSEI), and location. Hired professionals are subject to Brazil's CLT employment regime.
| Position | Main requirements | Pay | Weekly hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Management Analyst: Occupational Health Nurse | Degree in Nursing; specialization in Occupational Health Nursing of at least 360 hours; active COREN registration; at least 6 months of professional experience in activities compatible with the position. | R$ 8,800.00 + benefits | 40 hours/week |
| Management Analyst: Occupational Safety Engineering | Degree in Engineering or Architecture and Urbanism; specialization in Occupational Safety Engineering of at least 360 hours; active CREA or CAU registration; at least 6 months of professional experience in activities compatible with the position. | R$ 10,302.00 + benefits | 40 hours/week |
| Management Analyst: Occupational Physician | Medical degree; residency in Occupational Medicine recognized by CNRM or specialist title recognized by AMB and registered with CRM; CRM registration; at least 6 months of professional experience in activities compatible with the position. | R$ 8,331.75 + benefits | 20 hours/week |
| Occupational Health Nursing Technician | High school completion; technical course in Occupational Health Nursing recognized by MEC; active COREN registration; at least 6 months of professional experience in activities compatible with the position. | R$ 4,000.00 + benefits | 40 hours/week |
| Occupational Safety Technician | High school completion; technical course in Occupational Safety recognized by MEC; active professional registration linked to the Ministry of Labor and Employment; at least 6 months of professional experience in activities compatible with the position. | R$ 4,000.00 + benefits | 40 hours/week |
Benefits listed in the notice include meal/food allowance, transportation allowance, and health and well-being assistance, among others. Reserve-list options are distributed across different DSEIs and locations, so applicants must choose not only a position but the specific position/DSEI/location combination available in the system.
How the selection process works
The process has two phases administered by Cebraspe: an online objective test, which is eliminatory and classificatory, and a credential/title assessment, which is classificatory. Because the test date also differs between the updated news item and the original PDF, applicants should treat the current call notice and schedule on Cebraspe's selection page as the final operational reference.
The notice also says hiring depends on the existence of openings and AgSUS's needs. The stated validity period is one year from publication of the final result, with the possibility of a one-year extension.
Application checklist: what to prepare
- Open the official selection page. Use the Cebraspe page for AgSUS SESMT and check whether there is a newer amendment, notice, or schedule.
- Confirm the application window before you begin. As of September 2, the Cebraspe news item says September 9 to 22, while the original PDF says September 16 to October 16. Do not rely only on social cards, republished summaries, or old search results.
- Choose the position, DSEI, and location. The notice allows only one application request per CPF. During the application period, the option may be changed; only the last change recorded is considered valid.
- Prepare your CPF, photo, and identity document. The system requires a CPF number, an individual photograph taken within the six months before publication of the notice, showing the applicant with head uncovered and shoulders visible, and a legible image of a valid identity document, front and back when applicable.
- Check file format and size. The notice accepts PDF, PNG, JPEG, and JPG files, with a maximum of 2 MB per uploaded image.
- Review the professional requirements. Diploma or certificate, specialization when required, professional registration, and at least six months of experience are hiring requirements. Applicants acknowledge those requirements when applying and must prove them if called for hiring.
- Prepare extra documentation if you are applying under reserved categories or requesting accommodations. People with disabilities, Indigenous or quilombola applicants, and candidates requesting specific testing accommodations have their own procedures and uploads under the notice.
- Consider uploading a birth certificate for tie-breaking purposes. The notice provides for uploading a birth certificate to verify time of birth under one tie-breaking criterion; without it, the time is treated as 11:59:59 p.m.
- Save the application receipt. After confirmation, the receipt is made available on Cebraspe's applicant tracking page. Obtaining and keeping that document is the applicant's responsibility.
- Monitor photo validation and official updates. The schedule includes a stage to check whether the submitted photograph was accepted and, if needed, to upload a new one within the stated deadline.
Which qualification documents do not need to be submitted as proof of the position at the application stage
An important distinction is between identity documents needed to apply and documents proving the position's professional requirements. Under Notice No. 99/2026, the application requires the data and uploads specified by the system, while proof of a diploma, specialization, professional experience, and professional registration is required at the hiring stage if the candidate is called. This does not remove the need to meet the requirements: the applicant must declare awareness of them in the application.
There are exceptions for documentation related to reserved categories, testing accommodations, and other specific procedures, which may need to be uploaded during the application period. Anyone in one of those situations should read the relevant sections of the notice before submitting the form.
How to handle the conflicting dates without missing the deadline
This selection shows why checking the currently valid notice is part of the application process itself. The Cebraspe news page was updated on September 1 and presents a shorter timeline: September 9 to 22, with the test on November 1. The original notice PDF hosted by AgSUS still shows September 16 to October 16 and a November 22 test.
Because the notice states that changes can only be made through a formal amendment, the best practice is to check, at the time you apply, whether the selection page already provides the document formalizing the updated schedule. If there is an amendment newer than the original PDF, follow the amendment. If no document resolves the discrepancy, use Cebraspe's official support channels before assuming a date.
Practical summary for applicants
