About the Office

The United States Trustee Program (USTP) is a litigating component of the Department of Justice whose mission is to promote the integrity and efficiency of the bankruptcy system for the benefit of all stakeholders, debtors, creditors, and the public. The USTP is a national program with 21 regions consisting of 89 field offices, and has broad administrative, regulatory, and enforcement authorities in bankruptcy cases, including chapter 7 and 13 consumer cases, family farmer chapter 12 cases, small business reorganizations, and complex chapter 11 corporate reorganizations. The USTP is the only participant in the bankruptcy process uniquely positioned to address multi-jurisdictional misconduct or other issues of national scope that give rise to systemic fraud and abuse, while also effectively combatting local matters affecting the integrity of the bankruptcy system.

The USTP ranks in the top 30 percent of federal agency subcomponents and ranks seventh out of 18 components within the DOJ in the 2022 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings. The rankings are based on the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey which measures how federal employees view their job and workplace. The USTP exceeded the percentage of positive responses government-wide in more than 90 percent of the core survey questions, including questions related to achieving mission, sharing job knowledge, overall satisfaction with the organization, and employee recognition.

We invite you to visit the USTP's website for more information about the USTP and the Region 3 website for information on the USTP Eugene office. The City of Pittsburgh website provides information about Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The USTP offers a flexible telework policy, including four telework days per bi-weekly pay period.

As the federal agency whose mission is to ensure the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans, the Department of Justice is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. To build and retain a workforce that reflects the diverse experiences and perspectives of the American people, we welcome applicants from the many communities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, religions, and cultures of the United States who share our commitment to public service.
