Drive Projects Forward with Ground-Level Landwork

At Halo Land Management, we don’t just negotiate leases — we bridge stakeholders, surface legal clarity, and ensure energy projects move forward with confidence. As a Landman, you’ll play a vital role in supporting oil & gas and renewable development through strategic lease negotiation, title verification, and stakeholder engagement.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Canton, Ohio, Halo is one of America’s fastest-growing land service providers. We bring together deep industry expertise, regional insight, and a people-first culture to power complex energy initiatives. Our Landmen are trusted advisors who bring professionalism, accuracy, and agility to every project.

A Day in the Life : People, Property, and Precision

Your day begins with a new leasing target : 320 acres of undeveloped minerals in Noble County, OH. You review the tract package, assess leasehold gaps, and start making contact with the mineral owners.

By mid-morning, you’re negotiating lease terms, explaining production clauses, and fielding ownership questions. A curative issue arises — a missing probate record in a 1980s conveyance. You coordinate with the abstractor to confirm heirs and reverify ownership.

Later, you update lease status in the project tracker, sync with counsel on an HBP question, and prep your packet for internal review. Whether you're at the courthouse, on the phone with a landowner, or updating client reports — you're a key part of making the deal happen.

Key Responsibilities

  • Negotiate and acquire oil, gas, and / or renewable energy leases
  • Review title abstracts and verify ownership to ensure leasing accuracy
  • Identify curative issues and coordinate with abstractors and legal teams
  • Maintain accurate and timely lease records, status updates, and ownership documentation
  • Engage with mineral and surface owners professionally and respectfully
  • Track lease expirations, renewals, and obligations within the leasehold portfolio
  • Collaborate with project leads, attorneys, and GIS teams to ensure alignment across functions

What Success Looks Like

  • Accurate, timely leasing documentation delivered in line with project milestones
  • Successful lease negotiations that align with client terms and protect project interests
  • Early identification and communication of curative or title issues
  • Consistent communication with project teams and ownership stakeholders
  • Organized lease files with proper documentation and status tracking

    • Qualifications

  • 1-3 years of landman experience in oil & gas or real estate industry
  • Strong knowledge of mineral rights, lease agreements, title verification, and HBP
  • Excellent negotiation, interpersonal, and stakeholder communication skills
  • Familiarity with county records, online title portals, and public record systems
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and document management tools
  • Self-motivated, organized, and able to manage multiple leasing tracts independently
  • Must operate under a registered LLC or be willing to establish one
  • Active AAPL membership preferred
  • Must be able to pass federal and state background checks

    • Bonus Points

  • Experience working in the Appalachian Basin, MidCon, or Permian regions
  • Background in curative work, abstracting, or legal support for lease negotiations
  • Familiarity with production data, pooling / unitization, and Pugh clauses
