About The Position

The 1099-Contract Investigator conducts federal background investigations on a contract basis in direct support of national security and suitability investigations. The role involves fieldwork, including interviews and retrieval of records, and producing reports of investigations (ROIs) in compliance with applicable laws, federal standards, and federal agency regulations. Investigators accept assignments requiring travel throughout their geographic area of responsibility, with opportunities for temporary duty (TDY) assignments outside that area, and meet deadlines assigned by ADC LTD NM. The investigator maintains, conveys, and appropriately destroys data and documents; meets government and industry standards for quality, integrity, timeliness, and productivity; and maintains compliance with mandatory and assigned training, security, and credential requirements. The role also includes developing cooperative working relationships with ADC employees and contractors, reporting field-observed trends and workplace updates, and performing other related duties as required. Compensation is based on the number of assigned cases completed, not an annual salary. The stated compensation range estimates what an independent contractor might earn working 40 hours per week, from the base rate up to the Premier Contract Investigator rate.
