With the anticipated growth of our state department, we need quality, hardworking individuals to step up and fill these positions. If you share our values of honesty, integrity, loyalty, trust, respect, fairness, diversity, and compassion; take a look at the positions we hire for and for current job openings.

The Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is a State Agency of over 2400 employees, which is responsible for the care and custody of offenders in our system. NDOC is always recruiting for our largest job classification, the Correctional Officer. However, we also have positions for professional, technical, medical, administrative, maintenance and clerical personnel.

NDOC also employs non-uniform custody positions in our investigative section in the Office of the Inspector General division. The Criminal Investigator series performs criminal investigations involving violations of federal and/or State law. Incumbents meeting the minimum requirements of criminal investigative and law enforcement experience progress semi-automatically to the next level in the series upon successful completion of their probationary period and approval of the appointing authority. A typical career progression may include auto-progression as a Criminal Investigator I, II, and III to possible promotion to Supervisory Criminal Investigator.
