Ogier's first senior administrative position was as the Inspector of Administrative Services and the Prison Administration from 1901 to 1911.[2] After this, he was the Secretary General of the Ministry of the Interior, being appointed on 5 July 1911.[3] He was later succeeded by Jean Chiappe in this position on 8 October 1925.[4] Ogier was also an advocate for the creation of more hospitals, which he warned about during the end of World War One to the inter-regional hospital unions, which were the predecessor to the Hospital Federation of France.[5]

He would then serve as the Prefect of the Meuse from 1 August 1919 to 22 January 1920.[6] Immediately following his tenure as a prefect, he became Minister of Liberated Regions on 20 January 1920.[7] He was succeeded in this position on 16 January 1921.[8] He was awarded the Legion of Honour with the class of Grand Officer on 26 January 1929.[9] He would die on 30 April 1932.[1]
