Temporary House Landman Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Senior In-House Landman | Houston, TX (Hybrid)
A high-profile E&P operator is looking for a seasoned in-house landman to keep drilling locations moving. This is a hands-on title diligence role with real ownership: you'll be the one making sure units and locations are clean, clear, and rig-ready, or flagging exactly what's still standing in the way.
What you'll be doing

• Reviewing title diligence across future and some existing unit areas
• Identifying and clearing pitfalls or shortcomings on drilling locations and lateral paths before they become problems
• Staying ahead of the rig; keeping pace so title isn't the reason a location slips
• Getting units and locations to "ready to drill," or quantifying what's still needed to get there

What we're looking for

• 10+ years of landwork experience (this is a senior seat, not an entry point)
• Strong, current title diligence chops in an active drilling environment
• East Texas experience preferred (not required)
• Comfortable working independently and owning outcomes, not just tasks

What sets a candidate apart

• Hands-on experience with Texas allocated wells and co-tenancy. This rarely shows up cleanly on a resume, so if it's in your background, say so early.

The details

• Hybrid schedule: on-site downtown Houston Mon / Tue / Thu, work from home Wed / Fri
• Temporary but long-term; this is steady, ongoing work with a strong operator, not a short engagement
• Competitive day rate commensurate with senior-level experience

If you've spent the last decade keeping rigs moving and know what a clean unit looks like before anyone asks, we want to talk!
