The role of Surveillance Investigator at DigiStream is far from a typical desk job. This position offers a unique career filled with excitement, autonomy, travel, and meaningful purpose. The successful candidate will be part of a skilled investigative team, engaging in covert operations designed to collect crucial visual and observational evidence. Each day on the job presents new challenges and opportunities, ranging from tailing subjects in public places like grocery stores and restaurants to conducting strategic surveillance at sporting events or casinos. This dynamic role requires a combination of strategic planning, stealth, and adaptability to effectively gather irrefutable evidence that supports legal claims and investigations.

As a Surveillance Investigator, you will be responsible for crafting pre-surveillance strategies based on case details and locations, carrying out vehicle and foot pursuits while maintaining cover, and using video equipment to document subjects' actions. Detailed report writing and precise communication with team leaders are also critical components of your daily responsibilities. DigiStream’s comprehensive, hands-on training program, developed over 20 years, ensures that new investigators quickly gain the skills required to excel. The company also provides a promotion track that encourages growth within the investigative field, allowing motivated employees to advance through the ranks and develop professionally.

DigiStream distinguishes itself from many private investigation companies by offering full benefits, a company vehicle, and paid travel, even for remote assignments. Investigators maintain possession of a company-provided surveillance vehicle that is kept at their residence, eliminating the need for a daily commute to an office or motor pool. Candidates must demonstrate confident driving skills and pass background and DMV checks. This position demands availability to work an average of 50 hours per week, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays, reflecting the field’s demanding but rewarding nature.

Choosing a career with DigiStream opens multiple pathways beyond private investigations, including law enforcement, security, legal professions, corporate investigations, and investigative journalism. The skills acquired here are invaluable and transferable to many fields that require acute observation, critical thinking, and strict confidentiality. This opportunity offers a dedicated, adventurous individual a chance to thrive in an engaging and evolving career environment with a supportive and cohesive team.
