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.
Key Responsibilities
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.

Like solving practical problems (title, access, contracting constraints) and finding workable paths forward
