Right of Way Agent Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a right of way agent in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania does not issue a state-specific right of way agent license, but employers consistently require or strongly prefer the SR/WA designation from the International Right of Way Association. Most candidates enter through a bachelor's degree in real estate, civil engineering, or business, then gain field experience in land acquisition or title work. IRWA's education program offers courses leading to the SR/WA credential, and many Pennsylvania infrastructure employers require it for senior roles.
Which companies hire right of way agents in Pennsylvania?
Companies currently hiring right of way agents in Pennsylvania include Kleinfelder, ORC, and Purple Land Management, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Pennsylvania's dense pipeline network, active PennDOT road program, and large investor-owned utilities like PECO and PPL Electric make it one of the more consistent states for right of way employment year-round.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most right of way agent jobs?
Pennsylvania, Trevose, and Sewickley have the most right of way agent openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia drives demand through major utility, transit, and infrastructure projects tied to SEPTA and PECO Energy, Pittsburgh draws from energy and pipeline activity in the western part of the state, and Harrisburg generates openings through PennDOT headquarters and state agency land programs.
Are there remote right of way agent jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Right of way work is fundamentally field-oriented, requiring in-person property inspections, owner negotiations, and site visits that cannot be done remotely. About 0% of right of way agent openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with the remote portion concentrated in document review, title research, and project coordination roles rather than acquisition and negotiation.
How can I get hired as a right of way agent in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a title examiner or right of way technician role, which large Pennsylvania employers like PennDOT and major pipeline contractors use as a feeder into full agent positions. PennDOT's district offices across Pennsylvania regularly hire right of way trainees through civil service pathways. Completing IRWA's introductory courses and earning an associate-level designation signals commitment to hiring managers and gives candidates without field experience a competitive edge.
Where can I find and apply to right of way agent jobs in Pennsylvania?
