What this role is
Entry-level professional who supports land and property activities for energy or mining projects under close guidance. At the Entry-Level Professional (P1) level, the role owns own tasks within a defined component, routine problems with known solutions, and drives own deliverables. None — building the craft.

- Maintain accurate documentation of negotiations, agreements, and property rights in the land management system
- Handle data entry and documentation for land transactions, ensuring records are complete and filed correctly
- Support senior agents and managers with property research, pulling deeds, tax records, and prior easement grants as requested
- Knowledge applied
- Applies basic real estate and title concepts to research deeds, plats, and ownership records following detailed instruction; learning how land and property law shape acquisition.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Handles routine research and documentation tasks with standard answers; flags anything ambiguous to a senior agent.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Works with stable internal relationships — senior agents, coordinators, and administrators — passing along research findings.
- Typical experience
- 0–1 years; entry often via Real Estate Assistant or Property Administrator roles.
