Job description

Surface Landman – Right-of-Way Acquisition | Midland, TX
Compensation: $150,000–$170,000 base + bonus
Location: Midland, TX
Schedule: Full-time | On-site/field-based with travel as required
Job Summary
A well-established organization in the energy and land management industry is seeking an experienced Surface Landman – ROW Acquisition to join its Midland, Texas operations.
This is a high-impact opportunity for an experienced land professional with strong Permian Basin surface and right-of-way acquisition experience. The Surface Landman will serve as a primary negotiator for assigned ROW projects and will be responsible for acquiring surface rights, easements, leases, licenses, permits, and rights-of-way while working closely with Land, Legal, Contracts Administration, GIS, Business Development, and Operations teams. 
Key Responsibilities
  •  Conduct title research to confirm surface ownership. 
  •  Negotiate surface easements, leases, licenses, permits, and ROW agreements directly with landowners. 
  •  Manage surface transactions from negotiation through execution and documentation. 
  •  Coordinate land access, surveys, construction timing, and release-to-build activities. 
  •  Partner with Legal and Contracts Administration on agreements, templates, and risk requirements. 
  •  Work closely with GIS and Operations to ensure accurate easement and infrastructure mapping. 
  •  Prepare documentation and instructions for contract setup, recording, and payment processing. 
  •  Develop and maintain strong relationships with landowners, operators, internal stakeholders, and service providers. 
  •  Monitor Permian Basin surface rates, market conditions, and operator activity. 
  •  Provide guidance to other Surface Landmen and Land Associates as needed. 
  •  Support improvements to ROW acquisition processes and best practices. 
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of surface land and right-of-way acquisition experience required.
  •  Strong experience negotiating complex surface agreements. 
  • Recent Permian Basin ROW acquisition experience strongly preferred.
  •  Experience with easements, surface leases, licenses, permits, and ROW agreements. 
  •  Ability to conduct and interpret surface ownership/title research. 
  •  Experience managing multiple ROW projects simultaneously. 
  •  County and/or TxDOT temporary and long-term ROW acquisition experience preferred.
  •  Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and land management systems. 
  •  Ability to travel as required. 
  •  AAPL Registered Landman (RL) or Registered Professional Landman (RPL) designation preferred. 
  •  Petroleum Land Management or related degree preferred. 

Ideal Candidate
The strongest candidate will already know the Permian Basin, understand how to work directly with surface owners, and have a track record of independently negotiating and closing ROW agreements. This is not an entry-level or developmental land position; the organization is seeking someone who can step in and contribute quickly.
All inquiries and applications will be handled confidentially.
