What this role is
Senior individual contributor who leads complex land and property acquisition, leasing, and rights management for energy and mining projects. At the Expert Professional (P5) level, the role owns multiple systems or a technical domain, establishes the approach, and drives org / multi-team outcomes. Leads cross-team technical initiatives.
What this level does
- Own land acquisition strategy for a regional program or a portfolio of concurrent projects, contributing to company siting and capital-planning objectives
- Act independently on the most difficult acquisitions — condemnation-track parcels, tribal/federal lands, contested corridors — where outcomes are ambiguous and precedent is thin
- Feed land intelligence upstream into whether and how projects get greenlit, advising leadership on acquisition feasibility, cost, and risk before commitments are made
- Serve as external spokesperson with regulators, agencies, and major landowners, and mentor Land Managers, Coordinators, and Analysts to build the talent pipeline
- Knowledge applied
- Applies strategic mastery of acquisition, condemnation, and regulatory practice to regional programs and precedent-lacking situations; designs improved acquisition methods rather than following them.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Works on intangible, ambiguous problems — feasibility of contested corridors, tribal/federal lands — with high independence and no clear precedent.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Builds influential networks with regulators, agencies, and major landowners; serves as external spokesperson and mentors the land talent pipeline.
- Typical experience
- 12+ years with extensive land-rights expertise across project types.
Skills at this level
- Land title research and abstract review
- — Researches and reviews property ownership records, land titles, plats, and abstracts to establish current ownership, chain of title, and existing encumbrances before acquisition.
- Legal instruments and property law
- — Selects and interprets settlement instruments, contracts, and land acquisition agreements grounded in real estate principles, property law, eminent domain, and easement rights.
- Easement and land-rights negotiation
- — Negotiates easements, access agreements, temporary workspace agreements, leases, licenses, and fee purchases with landowners to secure rights for infrastructure projects.
- Compensation offer preparation
- — Prepares and presents compensation offers and right-of-entry documentation, valuing property rights and structuring terms to secure landowner agreement.
- Regulatory compliance and NEPA
- — Navigates laws governing property acquisition, eminent domain, and easements and ensures acquisitions comply with local, state, and federal regulations including NEPA environmental analysis.
- Landowner relationship management
- — Conducts outreach to property owners and stakeholders, addresses concerns professionally and timely, and sustains relationships through the life of an acquisition.
- Field property inspection
- — Performs field visits and property inspections to verify boundaries, existing use, and access, confirming acquired rights match on-the-ground conditions.
- COGO (coordinate geometry)
- — Uses coordinate geometry to establish and verify land and property boundaries and to interpret and prepare legal descriptions for easements and parcels.
- Land transaction documentation and data management
- — Maintains accurate, complete records of negotiations, agreements, and property rights, managing land transaction data so obligations and compliance can be tracked.
- Pandell Land & GIS administration
- — Uses Pandell Land & GIS — with Master Tract Loader, accounting integration, obligation/compliance tracking, and mobile field apps — to load tracts, track land obligations, and feed acquisition data to accounting.
- Acquisition feasibility assessment
- — Evaluates the cost, risk, and viability of acquiring land rights for a corridor or program and advises whether and how a project should proceed based on that analysis.
- People leadership
- — Supervises, mentors, and manages the workloads of Land Managers, Coordinators, and Administrators, developing the acquisition talent pipeline.
