Surveillance Investigator

DigiStream Investigations is the premiere provider of investigative services in the insurance defense market across the U.S. and Ontario, Canada. We seek individuals who align with our core values: Excellence, Passion, Integrity, and Empathy.

As a Surveillance Investigator, your mission is to engage in undercover vehicle and foot pursuit of Subjects to gather as much video evidence of their day-to-day activities as possible.

Each day will be different. One day you could film someone at the gym, the next you could be following a person to a concert.
