If you would like to be a part of a Federal organization dedicated to serving our Nation and those who defend it, consider a career with the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of the Inspector General (OIG). Our vision is to be a model oversight organization in the Federal Government by leading changes, speaking truth, and promoting excellence. A diverse organization, working together as one professional team and recognized in our field. The agency promotes integrity, accountability and improvement of critical DoD programs and operations to support mission accomplishment and to serve the public interest.
The Office of Policy and Oversight provides oversight and policy for DoD audit and investigative activities, conducts engineering assessments of DoD programs, provides technical advice and support to DoD OIG projects, and operates the DoD OIG subpoena and contractor disclosure programs.
As provided within Section 8L of the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, the Lead IG is charged with comprehensive oversight, planning, and reporting responsibilities to include the publication of a Joint Strategic Oversight Plan for the designated overseas contingency operations (OCO) Operations Inherent Resolve (OIR) and Freedom's Sentinel (OFS).
The Technical Assessment Directorate provides technical advice and support to the DoD by conducting independent evaluations and inspections to improve United State Government (USG) funded programs and operations while also providing a wide range of analytical support on all phases of Inspector General oversight where engineering techniques and methods are in use. The incumbent serves as an engineer assigned to a team conducting independent assessments and providing expert technical advice and support related to construction, safety, fire suppression, electrical and related activities at overseas contingency operation locations funded by the USG. This work is in direct support of the Lead Inspector General for contingency operations, such as Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Freedom's Sentinel.
