Federal agent

Federal agents investigate violations of national law, from organised crime and terrorism to fraud and trafficking. The work involves surveillance, undercover operations, interviewing witnesses, gathering evidence within constitutional limits, and building cases for federal prosecution, often on complex, high-stakes matters.

They work for national law-enforcement and security agencies. The role suits disciplined, sharp, ethically grounded people who can handle demanding and sometimes dangerous investigations, exercise sound judgment under legal constraints, and pursue serious crime with patience and rigour.
