About The Position

The 1099-Contract Investigator conducts federal background investigations on a contract basis in support of national security and suitability investigations. The role involves fieldwork, including interviews and records retrieval, and preparing 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 assignments outside that area. They must meet deadlines set by ADC LTD NM and maintain professional communication and conduct in a time-sensitive work environment. The investigator monitors, maintains, conveys, and appropriately destroys data and documents; meets government and industry standards for quality, integrity, timeliness, and productivity; and maintains required training, security, and credential compliance. The role also includes building cooperative working relationships with ADC employees and contractors, reporting field-observed work environment trends and 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 is an estimate based on working 40 hours per week, from the base rate up to the Premier Contract Investigator rate.
