Utilities Right of Way Project Manager - I oversee the acquisition and management of land rights needed for utility infrastructure and distribution projects. I lead and support a team of ROW professionals, keeping everyone aligned and making sure our work is completed efficiently, consistently, and in line with the client’s expectations, standards, and project requirements. 

ORC is a great place to work. The company truly values its people, recognizes hard work and dedication, and encourages a healthy work-life balance. I really appreciate being part of an environment where employees feel supported and their contributions are recognized. 

I spent many years in real estate, so transitioning into right of way felt like a natural next step. I started my ROW career as an agent with a smaller company before joining ORC. After about two and a half years working as an agent and mentor, I moved into an Assistant Project Manager role, and about six months later transitioned into my current role as a Project Manager. Having that hands-on experience has been incredibly valuable because understanding the research and day-to-day work of an agent gives me a better perspective on what my team needs and helps me lead projects more effectively.
