Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is the state agency charged with overseeing and providing workforce development services to employers and job seekers of Texas. TWC strengthens the Texas economy by providing the workforce development component of the Governor's economic development strategy. Texas boasts an incredibly skilled workforce ready to attract enterprise to the Lone Star State. By focusing on the needs of employers, TWC gives Texas the competitive edge necessary to draw business here.

While the agency has about 2,900 employees around the state, this position would be based in our location in Houston. This position does require statewide travel. TWC offers a competitive salary and State of Texas benefits that include everything from health insurance to a retirement plan to a variety of leave types.

Subrecipient Monitoring is a department in TWC’s Regulatory Integrity Division. Our mission is to monitor the $850 million in federal and state funds passed to our partners, including 28 local workforce development boards (Boards) and other contractors, which provides a wide range of workforce programs and services to Texas’ employers and job seekers. We ensure accountability and identify potential fraud, waste, and abuse in these workforce programs and contracts. We do that through on site monitoring reviews of Boards and other contractors.

The Subrecipient Monitoring Team is looking for a Contract Monitoring Auditor I-III to perform entry level to moderately complex auditing work. The successful candidate will be able to plan for and execute detailed on site compliance reviews of programs and contractors to determine the degree of adherence to applicable Federal and state laws, rules, regulations and policies.
