Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in contracting officer representative jobs.
- Knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency-specific supplements
- FAC-COR or DAWIA certification at Level II or Level III
- Experience developing and executing quality assurance surveillance plans
- Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance
- Bachelor's degree in business, public administration, or a related field
- Proficiency with contract management and financial tracking systems
Tips for Your Contracting Officer Representative Job Search
Tailor your resume to FAR citations
Contracting officer representative resumes that call out specific Federal Acquisition Regulation parts you've worked under, such as FAR Part 12 or Part 15, read as credible to hiring managers who screen for regulatory fluency before they look at anything else.
Get your DAWIA or FAC-COR certification current
Many federal and contractor postings list FAC-COR Level II or III as a hard requirement, not a preference. If your certification has lapsed, renew it before applying so your application clears automated screening.
Target agencies matching your commodity experience
Your value is specific to what you've overseen, IT services, construction, or professional services contracts. Search by agency type first, then filter by location, so you're applying where your commodity experience translates directly.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists contracting officer representative openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare concrete surveillance plan examples
Interviewers for these roles almost always ask how you've monitored contractor performance. Walk in ready to describe a specific quality assurance surveillance plan you wrote or executed, including how you documented discrepancies and escalated findings.
Negotiate on the basis of your clearance level
An active Secret or Top Secret clearance shortens an agency's onboarding timeline significantly. If you hold one, name it explicitly when discussing your offer rather than waiting for the employer to raise it.
Contracting Officer Representative Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most contracting officer representatives?
The companies hiring the most contracting officer representatives right now include New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Northwest Ambulance, and Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, with the largest share of openings in New York, Washington, and District of Columbia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Defense contractors and large federal systems integrators consistently account for a significant portion of active postings.
How many contracting officer representative jobs are remote?
About 100% of contracting officer representative openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the share varies considerably by contract type. Roles tied to IT services or professional services contracts tend to allow more remote work than those requiring on-site construction or facilities oversight.
How do you become a contracting officer representative?
Start by earning a relevant degree in business, public administration, or a related field, then pursue FAC-COR or DAWIA certification, which requires completing designated training courses and accumulating documented contracting experience. Once certified, you'll need a warranted contracting officer to formally appoint you as a COR on a specific contract, which is where hands-on oversight experience begins to build.
Can you get a contracting officer representative job with little experience?
Entry-level COR roles do exist, particularly at agencies with high contract volume and ongoing needs for trained oversight staff. The most practical path in with limited experience is completing FAC-COR Level I training, then seeking an appointment as an alternate COR on a lower-risk contract, which lets you build a documented performance record before taking on primary responsibility.
What does the contracting officer representative interview process look like?
Most COR interviews include a structured panel with contracting and program office staff who ask behavioral questions about past oversight situations, regulatory compliance decisions, and how you've handled contractor performance disputes. Some agencies add a written scenario component where you review a mock surveillance report or statement of work and explain how you'd respond, so it helps to practice thinking through FAR-based reasoning out loud.
Where can I find and apply to contracting officer representative jobs?
You can find and apply to contracting officer representative jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your certification level, clearance, and commodity experience, then apply directly to each one that fits.
