Entry Level Right of Way Agent Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level right of way agent job?
Entry level right of way agent roles look for candidates with a basic understanding of real estate, land use, or property law, so coursework or internships in those areas give you a clear edge. Employers at this stage also value attention to detail, strong communication, and familiarity with title research or GIS tools. A certificate in right of way or real estate strengthens a new application considerably.
Which companies hire entry level right of way agents?
Companies hiring entry level right of way agents right now include Atwell, HDR, and Kimley-Horn, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Utilities, infrastructure contractors, and land acquisition consulting firms tend to drive the most entry level hiring in this field.
Are there remote entry level right of way agent jobs?
Yes, though most roles at this level are on-site or field-based by nature. About 22% of entry level right of way agent openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically focus on document review, title research, or permit coordination rather than in-person property negotiations.
Are these new grad right of way agent jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior right of way agent roles. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and treats internship work, relevant coursework, or a portfolio of land or property research as equivalent to professional experience. Look for postings that list a degree as preferred rather than required.
Which industries hire the most entry level right of way agents?
Entry Level right of way agent roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Energy, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors rely heavily on land acquisition, easement negotiation, and permit compliance, creating steady demand for early-career professionals who can support senior agents in the field.
