Right-of-way acquisition and program management for infrastructure projects
ORC is a 50+ year-old right-of-way services firm managing land acquisition, appraisals, and relocation for utilities and public agencies across 18 states. The hiring velocity is accelerating with 37 roles posted in the last month—mostly engineering and ops positions—while the tech stack remains traditional (Excel, Office, GIS, Azure). The pain-point pattern (process inefficiencies, tight deadlines, budget constraints, reporting discrepancies) and active projects focused on acquisition lifecycles suggest internal operations are straining under complexity rather than adopting modern automation.
