Job Description

Right-of-Way Agent — Electric Utility (Long-term Project)

Cedar Rapids, IA | On-site | Contract or Direct Hire

Day rate: $400–$450 per day

Per diem: $178 per day (7 days)

Project Duration: 7+ years commitment expected

About the role:

Our client is seeking an experienced Right-of-Way Agent to join a large-scale, long-term electric utility infrastructure project based in Cedar Rapids, IA. This is a rare opportunity to plant roots on a multi-year engagement with meaningful, complex land work from day one. No two requests are the same — this role rewards professionals who can interpret ambiguous situations, think critically, and drive solutions independently.

What you'll do:

  • Negotiate and secure easements, lease agreements, and real estate transactions in support of electric utility infrastructure
  • Manage and track right-of-way activities across large land portfolios using enterprise data platforms
  • Interpret title reports, legal descriptions, and property records to resolve complex land questions
  • Collaborate with internal teams, landowners, legal counsel, and government agencies
  • Problem-solve unique and varied requests — this role requires strong independent judgment

What we're looking for:

  • 8+ years of ROW experience — 10–12 years strongly preferred.
  • Background in the electric utility sector , as a direct utility employee or a contractor supporting a utility, required
  • Demonstrated experience with right-of-way acquisition, REQUIRED
  • Hands-on experience with easements, land transactions, and lease agreements in a utility context
  • Proficiency in navigating large-scale data and land management platforms
  • High cognitive ability — able to interpret complex, varied requests and problem-solve with limited direction
  • Commitment to a long-term engagement (7+ years) — stability and longevity on this project are a priority

On-site in Cedar Rapids, IA · Relocation candidates welcome to apply · Per diem available 7 days/week is offered.

If you have a strong utility ROW background and are ready to commit to a meaningful, long-term project, we'd love to hear from you!
