Job description

Senior In-House Landman | Houston, TX (Hybrid)

A high-profile E amp;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!
