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.
