Job Description

DigiStream Investigations is a rapidly growing, national private investigation firm headquartered with an active team in Oceanside, California, serving the greater San Diego County region. As a company, DigiStream is known for its professional and thorough approach to uncovering crucial evidence, particularly focusing on defending clients against fraudulent Worker's Compensation and Liability claims. With over 25 years of industry experience, the firm has developed a comprehensive, hands-on training program that equips investigators with the skills necessary to excel in covert operations and investigative processes. Alongside competitive pay and extensive benefits, DigiStream stands out by providing its investigators with the use of company vehicles, equipment, and paid travel — a true reflection of their commitment to supporting their team's success and well-being.

The Private Investigator role at DigiStream Investigations is not your average desk job. It is a dynamic position designed for adventurous and curious individuals who seek excitement, autonomy, and a meaningful career helping clients with essential case evidence. The full-time position demands an average of 40 to 55 hours per week, often stretching to 10-11 hours daily including commute time which is compensated. Investigators work closely with their team leaders, engaging in detailed surveillance activities that may include vehicle and foot pursuits, capturing video evidence at various locations like grocery stores or sports events, and strategizing covert operational plans. This role offers substantial opportunities for growth through the Investigator Promotion Track and invaluable skills that open doors to careers in law enforcement, legal assistance, security, investigative journalism, and more. Employees benefit from a supportive environment, enriched with quarterly team-building events fostering camaraderie and ongoing professional development.
