Listed 17 Sep 2026

Specialist Private Investigators conduct investigations both in a very complex and normal environment for both Government and Private Agencies. They are required to perform under difficult and at times high pressure situations and though 95% of the role is Investigations, there will be a need for the investigator to be flexible and serve court documents where the need arises.

 

Matters conducted will be secret / sensitive in their nature and though the Investigator may at times be working autonomously a high degree of ethical and moral standards must be adhered as does the ability to NOT discuss or divulge investigations to a third party.
