What is an IRWA?

IRWA stands for International Right of Way Association, which is a professional organization for individuals involved in the acquisition, management, and transfer of land rights for projects such as highways, pipelines, utilities, and public works. Professionals affiliated with IRWA may work in roles such as right of way agents, land acquisition specialists, and property managers. Their primary responsibilities include negotiating property acquisitions, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and facilitating agreements between property owners and organizations needing land access.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Right of Way Agent (IRWA), and why are they important?

To thrive as a Right of Way Agent, you need expertise in property acquisition, land use regulations, negotiation, and a relevant educational background, often supplemented by IRWA certifications. Familiarity with GIS mapping software, title research tools, and legal documentation systems is typically required. Strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and ethical judgment set top performers apart in this field. These competencies are essential for ensuring smooth property transactions, regulatory compliance, and positive stakeholder relationships in infrastructure projects.

What are some common challenges faced by IRWA professionals when negotiating land acquisition deals?

IRWA professionals, often working as right-of-way agents, frequently encounter challenges such as addressing property owner concerns, navigating complex regulatory requirements, and balancing the interests of public agencies or private developers with those of the landowners. Effective communication, thorough documentation, and strong negotiation skills are essential to resolve disputes and ensure fair agreements. Additionally, IRWA professionals must stay up-to-date on local laws and environmental regulations to successfully guide projects to completion.

Job description

Location: Tulsa, OK (statewide field travel)

Job Type: 1099 Contract (with potential conversion to W2 in the future)

Work Model: Hybrid — office-based when not in the field; remote flexibility 1–2 days/week based on project needs

Industry: Transportation / Infrastructure / Right of Way

About the Role

We are hiring a Right of Way (ROW) Acquisition Agent / ROW Negotiator to support ODOT/OTA transportation projects across Oklahoma. This role supports the full ROW lifecycle—acquisition, relocation coordination, and condemnation support—with strong documentation, landowner communication, and schedule-driven delivery. This is a 1099 contractor role with the opportunity to convert to a W2 employee position in the future for high performers as workload and program structure evolve.

Alternate Titles: ROW Negotiator, ROW Acquisition Specialist, ROW Agent, Right of Way Agent

What You’ll Do

  • Acquire ROW for transportation projects, including fee title, permanent easements, temporary construction easements (TCEs), access/driveway rights, and related property interests.
  • Conduct landowner outreach, explain project impacts, present offers, and lead negotiations; maintain clear notes and contact logs.
  • Coordinate with survey/engineering, title, appraisal/valuation, utilities, and project controls to keep parcels moving and resolve issues.
  • Support relocation activities as applicable (residential and/or business), including coordination and documentation consistent with project requirements.
  • Provide condemnation support in coordination with agency/client direction and legal counsel, including:
  • pre-condemnation outreach and documentation,
  • final offer / administrative settlement support,
  • condemnation referral package assembly,
  • parcel status tracking through possession/closeout.
  • Prepare complete parcel files and deliverables: negotiation logs, executed instruments, settlement documentation, curative items, and required forms.

Work Location / Schedule

  • Based out of our Tulsa office when not in the field.
  • Hybrid flexibility: remote work 1–2 days per week depending on project schedule, landowner availability, and deliverable deadlines.
  • Field work requires statewide travel and occasional overnights based on parcel locations and negotiation schedules.

Required Qualifications

  • 2+ years ROW acquisition experience on transportation/infrastructure projects.
  • Working knowledge of deeds/easements, parcel plans, access impacts, and typical ROW documentation.
  • Strong negotiation and stakeholder management skills with a professional approach to landowners.
  • High attention to detail; able to maintain clean files and accurate parcel status reporting.
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel statewide in Oklahoma.

Preferred (Strongly) – IRWA / Relocation / Condemnation

  • IRWA certifications preferred, including:
  • RWA, SR/WA, and/or RWP
  • Relocation credentials preferred:
  • RRC (Residential Relocation Certification)
  • RBC (Business Relocation Certification)
  • Experience supporting condemnation workflows (pre-condemnation documentation, referral packages, attorney coordination).

Contract Structure (1099)

  • Compensation structure may be hourly, per-parcel, or hybrid depending on experience and assignment.
  • Contractor is responsible for standard 1099 obligations (taxes/withholding, insurance, etc.).

Path to W2 (Future Opportunity)

High-performing contractors may be considered for W2 conversion based on performance, availability, and program needs.
