We are seeking experienced Renewable Land Agents / Landmen to act as the primary field representatives for site acquisition and land outreach supporting utility-scale solar projects and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Responsibilities

  • Origination & Site Control: Lead targeted field outreach campaigns to identify and secure viable acreage via options to lease or options to purchase for utility-scale solar and BESS deployment.

  • Contract Negotiation: Draft and negotiate complex option agreements, long-term leases, purchase options, and surface use/easement agreements with private landowners and agricultural corporations.

  • Feasibility & Curative Work: Evaluate surface title risks, local zoning laws, environmental constraints, and utility infrastructure proximity; clear severe encumbrances to ensure project viability.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate directly with internal GIS, legal, and project development teams to meet rolling development milestones.
