Job description

About Halo Land Management

Halo Land Management helps energy and infrastructure projects move from plan to reality. We partner with developers who build the systems that serve communities, strengthen infrastructure, and support local growth. Our work depends on trust, clear communication, and respect for every landowner.

As we grow, we are building a team that values ownership, care, and practical problem solving. In this role, you will join the field team that keeps projects moving while helping landowners feel informed, heard, and respected.

The Role

As a Right of Way Agent in Illinois, you will serve as the connection between Halo, our clients, and local landowners. This project runs from Peoria to Bloomington, with work throughout the surrounding region, including Springfield and nearby communities.

You will help secure easements, surface use agreements, access rights, and other documents needed for energy and infrastructure projects. Your work may support power, pipeline, road, utility, forestry, or site access needs.

You will explain project details, answer questions, negotiate agreements, and carefully document each interaction. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working with people, spending time in the field, and following through on commitments.

Agents are expected to work primarily from the field and travel regularly throughout the project area. Per diem is offered for eligible travel.

What You Will Do

Your days will include landowner outreach, in person meetings, document review, tract visits, and team coordination. While some communication will happen by phone or email, most of your work will take place in the field, including at kitchen tables, on properties, and during route walks.

The project area includes rural, suburban, and mixed use properties, so every tract and landowner conversation may be different. You will manage your schedule independently while providing consistent updates to the project team.

You will:

• Build trust with Illinois landowners through calls, letters, field visits, and in person meetings.
• Explain easement terms, access needs, tree work, and potential project impacts in clear language.
• Negotiate agreements within approved limits and communicate unique requests or concerns early.
• Review exhibits, parcel data, route information, and work descriptions for accuracy.
• Submit contact notes, agreement requests, tree forms, and closeout documents on time.
• Conduct tract visits, support route walks, and assist with staking and site access requests.
• Travel throughout Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, and the surrounding project area.
• Maintain accurate project records and keep trackers current.
• You will also collaborate with Project Managers, Title, GIS, Administration, forestry teams, and clients.
• You will help identify issues early, maintain organized records, and support the timely completion of project goals.

What You Bring

You do not need to know every detail on your first day. You do need curiosity, strong follow through, and the confidence to communicate respectfully with landowners. You should be comfortable learning new tools, reviewing project materials, working independently, and staying organized as priorities change.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Experience in right of way, land services, real estate, customer service, negotiation, or field operations.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to review parcel data, maps, exhibits, surveys, or construction drawings.
• Comfort using Google Drive, spreadsheets, trackers, and other project tools.
• Reliable transportation and the ability to travel regularly throughout the Illinois project area.
• The ability to work primarily from the field and manage a travel based schedule.
