Under the general direction of the OIG-HSR Supervising Management Auditor, the Staff Management Auditor is responsible for conducting the most complex, difficult, and sensitive inspections, evaluations, reviews, audits, and investigations (engagements), addressed by the OIG-HSR under its statutory authority and responsibilities. The incumbent works with a high degree of independence when performing engagements to provide oversight of highly technical areas, including the High-Speed Rail Authority's (Authority) parametric cost estimates, cost controls, project schedules, risk management, change order management, and economic benefit and projected ridership calculations for the California high-speed rail project (Project). Although not supervisory in nature, the position may require the incumbent to serve as the lead OIG-HSR member on engagements for discrete periods of time, including the review of other staff's work. Similarly, the incumbent independently leads critical discussions about the results of engagements with High-Speed Rail Authority management and external stakeholders of the OIG-HSR. The position also assists in annual risk assessments and engagement planning processes, OIG-HSR program quality reviews, and general staff development, sometimes in a lead role. The incumbent accomplishes the above through demonstrated knowledge and mastery of the Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) and Principles and Standards for Offices of Inspector General, as well as exceptional professional judgment, professional ethical behavior, integrity, and a commitment to fostering and promoting accountability and integrity in government.
