Overview

RES is currently accepting applications for the position of Land Representative, based in the North Florida area, to serve our projects in this geography.

The mission: RES is growing and so is our Florida operation. This is a new position that will take care of this geography and will be focused on finding land for the mitigation banking projects. The Land Rep will be developing relationships with prospective landowners and community business leaders, thus securing property rights, and enabling project realization. It involves interaction with many of the RES functions, including sales, regulatory, and field operations teams, analysts, and in-house counsel

What your day-to-day might look like?

You will spend around 80% of your time negotiating with the landowners. While some of this work can be done from the office setting, around 50% of your time you will be visiting the landowners on their land, including overnight stays.

Around 10% of your time will be dedicated to pre-acquisition and negotiation processes, including purchase and sales agreements and mitigation project agreements. You will also assist in due diligence items including survey and title and assist in the preparation and organization of closing documents. Some assistance will be required for the development of projects in the proposal process for projects in different phases.
