Mid Level Contracting Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level contracting officer job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just support. Highlight contracts you managed independently, the dollar thresholds you worked within, and any source selection or negotiation experience you led. Tailor your resume to show progression from task execution to decision-making. Certifications like FAC-C or DAWIA help signal readiness, but concrete examples of autonomous contract management carry the most weight with hiring managers at this level.
Which companies hire mid level contracting officers?
Companies hiring mid level contracting officers right now include Oscar Management Corporation, Jobot, and UC Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from federal agencies and defense contractors, as well as large private organizations with active procurement and acquisition programs.
Are there remote mid level contracting officer jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by agency and employer type. About 42% of mid level contracting officer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility in government contracting work where much of the documentation and negotiation can be done off-site. Fully on-site roles remain common in defense and classified environments.
How do I move up to a mid level contracting officer role?
Moving from entry level to mid level contracting officer takes deliberate skill-building over several years. Focus on taking ownership of full contract lifecycles rather than individual tasks, earning a recognized certification such as FAC-C Level II or DAWIA, and demonstrating measurable impact through cost savings or process improvements. Consistent exposure to larger contract values and more complex acquisition strategies signals readiness for mid level responsibilities.
Which industries hire the most mid level contracting officers?
Mid Level contracting officer roles concentrate in Insurance, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Staffing & Recruiting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive the most hiring because they manage large, recurring procurement budgets and require professionals who can handle complex sourcing decisions with meaningful autonomy.
