As a Land Representative I at RES, you will support land acquisition and property research efforts for a wide range of ecological restoration, water quality, and conservation projects.
Key Responsibilities
You’ll begin your day researching property records using online databases, analyzing parcel maps in Google Earth, or reviewing site features in preparation for a field visit. You may support senior team members in assessing land for acquisition by collecting property details such as zoning, access, and site constraints.
Throughout the week, you’ll help prepare and organize contracts, track landowner communications, evaluate basic title documents, and enter property details into internal systems. You’ll also build your knowledge of the RES land model—understanding how land supports mitigation and restoration strategies, and how we plan for long-term resale and stewardship..
