Forensics Imaging Lead

The Role

This position leads a forensic imaging team responsible for acquiring and preserving digital evidence across a wide range of systems, including hard drives, mobile devices, and IoT hardware. Day-to-day duties include overseeing forensic collections, enforcing chain-of-custody procedures, validating imaging tools and write-blockers, and driving continuous process improvement in a classified government environment.

Skills & Experience

Candidates must hold an active TS/SCI clearance and a GCFE or equivalent forensic certification. At least seven years of hands-on digital forensics experience is required, including five years focused on evidence acquisition and imaging, plus three or more years leading a forensics team and managing laboratory workflows in secure or classified environments.

Who It Suits

This role suits an experienced forensic professional ready to step firmly into a leadership position without leaving technical work behind. It is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys mentoring practitioners, standardising forensic processes, and operating within a structured, mission-driven government or defence-adjacent environment requiring a high-level security clearance.
