WHERE HAVE ALL
THE LANDMEN GONE?
BY AARON ESTES, SR/WA, MBA
Featured Story
March/April 2023 - IRWA Right of Way Magazine
The Scoop - "We are always at the forefront of the beginning of a project and the last boots on the ground at the end the project. We help maintain these assets throughout their life cycle and at the dismantle or abandon them when they are no longer needed.
The reasoning behind my recent reflection is mainly because there has been a shortage of good land agents in the market nowadays. Lately, I have been trying to find good agents to work on projects from Oregon to Florida and everywhere in between. When I reach out to others in the field, they all say the same thing: they cannot help me because they are looking for agents, too. They know there is a problem. While discussing an upcoming project with my colleague, Aaron Welles, project manager of right of way, he remarked, "Where have all the landmen gone?"
So how did we get here? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there has been a labor shortage, referred to as the Great Resignation, across all industries. But the right of way industry has its own unique struggles on top of this phenomenon."
