Job Description

DigiStream Investigations is a fast-growing national private investigation firm specializing in providing professional investigative services across Riverside County and beyond. Established with a strong commitment to integrity and precision, DigiStream has carved a niche in the private investigation field, primarily focusing on uncovering evidence related to potentially fraudulent Worker's Compensation claims. Their national footprint and expanding client base signify a thriving company where career growth and professional development are attainable. Known for balancing technology with traditional investigative skills, DigiStream ensures their team is equipped with the latest tools and comprehensive training to excel in various complex investigations. The company culture fosters teamwork, integrity, and continuous learning, supported by a thorough hands-on training program that has been refined over 20 years. The firm emphasizes the importance of employee wellbeing with a full suite of benefits including health, dental, vision, and life insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan with company matching, and paid travel time, which sets them apart from many competitors in the industry.

The Private Investigator role at DigiStream Investigations is tailored for individuals seeking a dynamic and exciting career. Unlike a typical desk job, this position requires hands-on fieldwork, combining autonomy, adventure, and purpose. The role involves conducting covert surveillance investigations to collect evidence for clients embroiled in worker's compensation disputes. Investigators follow subjects, monitor activities discreetly, and gather video and photographic evidence critical to resolving cases. Work hours average between 40 to 55 hours per week, generally ranging from 10 to 11 hours per day depending on travel requirements, including commute time in a company vehicle which is counted as paid working time. Entry-level positions start at $20 per hour with frequent overtime opportunities, equating to an annual salary range of approximately $50,000 to $60,000 for full-time staff due to paid commute time. The position demands flexibility in schedule including availability on weekends and holidays, early morning starts, and occasional overnight stays on remote assignments.

Successful candidates will have the chance to gain valuable investigative experience that could serve as a stepping stone into various related career paths such as law enforcement, federal agencies, security, legal fields, or investigative journalism. The company provides modern equipment including video cameras, laptops, company vehicles, and support tools necessary for daily investigative functions. Employees enjoy opportunities for professional growth within DigiStream through a Surveillance Investigator Promotion Track, quarterly team-building events, and robust training programs to sharpen investigative and report writing skills. This role is ideal for individuals who thrive in active environments, possess curiosity and determination, and aim to build a rewarding career in private investigation.
