Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Oil & Gas Due Diligence Landman to support acquisition and divestiture projects in the Utica and Marcellus shale plays. This is a full-time contract position working remotely with a fast-paced deal team.

- Lease terms and obligations
- Depth severance and HBP status
- Pooling and unitization
- Identify title gaps, risks, and key assumptions
- Work with limited/incomplete datasets and clearly communicate findings
- Support deal teams by validating land-related inputs for valuation and decision-making
What We’re Looking For:

- Strong understanding of:
- Utica and/or Marcellus shale (preferred)
- Lease analysis, depth rights, and unit structures
- Ability to think critically and make defensible assumptions with incomplete data
- Strong communication skills—able to translate land issues to non-land stakeholders
- Self-starter who thrives in a remote, fast-moving environment
Preferred (but not required):
- Prior experience supporting acquisition teams, operators, or private equity-backed projects
- Appalachian Basin experience (OH, WV, PA)
