Investigators will conduct background investigations on a full-time basis in support of national security, initially focusing on casework for the National Background Investigations Bureau (NBIB). Casework for other contracts will be assigned based on Investigator qualifications and business need.

Primary duties include, but are not limited to, conducting background investigations for the purpose of determining employment suitability of persons who require access to sensitive or classified U.S. Government information. Investigators will conduct face-to-face interview with the subject and his/her neighbors, employers, friends, and family. Investigators will also perform record searches at police agencies, courthouses, educational institutions, financial institutions, and medical/mental health facilities.

Approved expenses during casework such as tolls, parking, etc., will be reimbursed, and a computer is provided. Investigators work from their own homes with remote supervision and are paid hourly. Employee Investigators must be willing to regularly work within a 50-mile radius from their home, with travel to greater distances on same-day travel based on company need. Occasionally the Company seeks volunteers for nationwide travel up to 4 weeks at a time, which may be required if business needs dictate. The Company gives as much notice as possible, and typically no less than 1-2 weeks’ notice.

The levels of this position are based on a productivity system with the more experienced investigators held to a higher level of productivity per week. Investigators travel to and from appointments and record collection sites.
