Job Description

AOE/COE Investigator — Southern California Field Role  ·  Travel Required  ·  W-2, Hourly Our AOE/COE caseload across Southern California keeps growing, and we need a seasoned field investigator who can own compensability investigations end to end — from the first interview to a report an attorney can hand straight to a judge. About A.N. Investigations Inc. A.N. Investigations Inc. is a California-licensed private investigation firm handling AOE/COE (arising out of employment / course of employment) workers’ compensation investigations for attorneys, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators throughout California.

• At least 5 years of experience conducting AOE/COE / workers’ compensation investigations.
