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 involving travel throughout their geographic area of responsibility, with possible temporary duty (TDY) assignments outside that area. They are expected to meet assigned investigative deadlines and government and industry standards for quality, integrity, timeliness, and productivity. The investigator is responsible for monitoring, maintaining, conveying, and appropriately destroying data and documents; staying current with required training, security, and credential requirements; maintaining professional and cooperative relationships with ADC employees and contractors; and reporting field-observed trends and updates. Other related duties may be assigned. Compensation is based on the number of assigned cases completed, not an annual salary.
