• Read and interpret legal descriptions and compare them with maps, plats, surveys, and other project documentation.
• Research property ownership, chains of title, easements, while analyzing and interpreting existing utility land rights.
• Identify discrepancies, missing information, or conflicting property documentation and escalate items requiring additional review.

• Strong research, analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple assignments independently.
• Utility, infrastructure, energy, public works, or right-of-way project experience is preferred.
