Description of Work

Hiring Range: $51,616 – $76,000

The NCDOT Office of Civil Rights (OCR) promotes equal access and opportunity in transportation programs for our customers, employees, and applicants. OCR carries out this mission by enforcing Federal and State laws and regulations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, religion, and genetic information in the Department and in its programs and activities. OCR endeavors to remedy past and current discrimination against socially and economically disadvantaged individuals with the intended outcome of leveling the business playing field by.

We achieve this purpose by fostering equal opportunity on DOT assisted contracts; conducting compliance reviews of covered entities that must comply with anti-discrimination laws and regulations; providing training and technical assistance to covered entities; conducting statewide outreach to help individuals and covered entities understand rights and obligations under discrimination laws; and providing business and technical training to improve the efficiency and skills of small businesses to increase their economic viability.

The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Section of OCR develops, implements, and monitors the EEO program to ensure that the NCDOT provides equal opportunity in all terms and conditions of employment without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, or genetic information. The EEO Section is responsible for administering and implementing the Department's EEO program and plan. The EEO program monitors the hiring practices of the NCDOT, conducts on-site evaluations, provides EEO training to employees, and investigates complaints of unlawful discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by employees, former employees, and applicants.

This is professional, analytical, consultative, investigative, and advisory work involved in the application of state and federal discrimination laws and policies and the interpretation and application of policies and guidelines. Incumbent monitors and provides guidance regarding federal and state laws, as well as policies and regulations pertaining to the prohibition of discrimination, harassment and retaliation in employment on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disabling condition, genetic information or political affiliation. The incumbent’s primary duties involve investigating complaints and charges of discrimination, harassment and retaliation as well as assisting with consultation, training and on-site reviews. The EEO Investigator is a principal administrative advisor and reviews, analyzes, monitors and makes recommendations regarding personnel practices as they pertain to employees and applicants. Work is performed independently and with direct access to the EEO Manager. Currently, responsible for assigned EEO investigations.

  • Demonstrated ability to conduct EEO investigations using effective interview skills and extensive knowledge of the elements of proof for discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
