  •  Manage surface transactions from negotiation through execution and documentation. 
  •  Coordinate land access, surveys, construction timing, and release-to-build activities. 
  •  Partner with Legal and Contracts Administration on agreements, templates, and risk requirements. 
  •  Work closely with GIS and Operations to ensure accurate easement and infrastructure mapping. 
  •  Prepare documentation and instructions for contract setup, recording, and payment processing. 
  •  Develop and maintain strong relationships with landowners, operators, internal stakeholders, and service providers. 
  •  Monitor Permian Basin surface rates, market conditions, and operator activity. 
  •  Provide guidance to other Surface Landmen and Land Associates as needed. 
  •  Support improvements to ROW acquisition processes and best practices. 
Qualifications

  • 5+ years of surface land and right-of-way acquisition experience required.
  •  Strong experience negotiating complex surface agreements. 
  • Recent Permian Basin ROW acquisition experience strongly preferred.
  •  Experience with easements, surface leases, licenses, permits, and ROW agreements. 
  •  Ability to conduct and interpret surface ownership/title research. 
  •  Experience managing multiple ROW projects simultaneously. 
  •  County and/or TxDOT temporary and long-term ROW acquisition experience preferred.

  •  Petroleum Land Management or related degree preferred. 

Ideal Candidate

The strongest candidate will already know the Permian Basin, understand how to work directly with surface owners, and have a track record of independently negotiating and closing ROW agreements. This is not an entry-level or developmental land position; the organization is seeking someone who can step in and contribute quickly.

All inquiries and applications will be handled confidentially.
