Oil & Gas Due Diligence Landman (Utica/Marcellus) – Full-Time Contract | Remote

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.

This is not a traditional title role—we are looking for someone who understands how land impacts a deal.


What You’ll Do:

  • Analyze oil & gas leases and agreements for acquisition due diligence
  • Evaluate:
    • 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:

  • Proven experience in oil & gas due diligence / A&D projects
  • 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)

What to Expect:

  • Full-time contract role
  • Remote work environment
  • High-impact work tied directly to active deals

Closing:
If you’re someone who can look at a package, connect the dots, and call out risk before it becomes a problem—we want to talk.
