Full Job Description

At RES, we're looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you'll find your place here.

RES is looking for a Land Representative to join our team.

As a Land Representative II at RES, you will lead and execute land acquisition and property evaluation activities that support ecological restoration, water quality, and conservation projects. You'll independently manage landowner relationships, conduct deeper feasibility and valuation work, negotiate more complex transactions, and drive contracts and due diligence activities through closing—partnering closely with internal teams across Project Management, Legal, Operations, and Sales.

This role is ideal for someone who has experience in land acquisition or real estate sales, enjoys negotiating and solving deal roadblocks, and is ready to own transactions from early evaluation through closing.

Why You'll Love This Job:

Your work directly enables restoration at scale. Every property you help secure supports projects that restore wetlands, improve water quality, and protect habitat.
You'll own end-to-end transactions. From feasibility and valuation through negotiation, contracting, and closing—this role is designed for increased autonomy and responsibility.
You'll solve real problems. Title issues, access constraints, and contracting roadblocks are part of the work—and you'll be empowered to resolve them.

A Day in the Life

You'll start the day by researching property records and reviewing parcel mapping, site constraints, and ownership details to assess acquisition viability. You may prepare for a landowner call by outlining deal structure options, reviewing market indicators, or aligning internally on feasibility considerations.

As your week progresses, you'll negotiate terms directly with landowners and external stakeholders, draft and complete appropriate contract forms, and proactively resolve common contracting roadblocks to keep deals moving. You'll also support due diligence and closing efforts—identifying title defects, coordinating steps to cure them, and negotiating access needs when required.

Across active opportunities, you'll keep clear documentation in internal systems, communicate risks and recommendations to internal partners, and help ensure land strategies align with the project's restoration approach and long-term objectives.

We would love to talk to you if you have many of the following:

Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., real estate, business, environmental studies, or related field)
3+ years of experience in land acquisition, real estate, or land/real estate sales
Intermediate-to-advanced proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe
Strong internet research skills and comfort navigating online county property records
Experience using mapping tools (e.g., Google Earth; GIS familiarity is a plus)
Working knowledge of land valuation concepts, real estate terminology, and deal structuring basics
Experience supporting land transactions through contracting, due diligence, and closing activities

What will make you stand out?

Demonstrated success negotiating more complex land deals (multiple stakeholders, unique terms, tighter timelines, etc.)
Ability to independently select and complete appropriate contract forms and resolve common contracting roadblocks
Experience identifying and helping cure title defects (or coordinating the path to resolution)
Experience negotiating or securing additional access (temporary/permanent easements, access agreements, etc.)
Experience with land or mineral transaction closings

You Will Thrive in This Role If You:

Enjoy taking ownership of deals and driving progress with persistence and organization
Communicate clearly with landowners and internal stakeholders—especially when navigating tradeoffs or risks
Like solving practical problems (title, access, contracting constraints) and finding workable paths forward
Are comfortable balancing relationship-building with disciplined negotiation
Stay detail-oriented while managing multiple active opportunities at once

RES is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a VEVRAA Federal Contractor. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
