About The Position

About Halo Land Management Halo Land Management partners with leading energy and infrastructure developers to enable the projects that power communities and grow economies.

As we continue to scale, we are building a clear and consistent foundation for what success looks like in every role. The GIS Analyst is a critical part of that standard by turning spatial and legal data into clean, reliable mapping deliverables that guide high value decisions across oil and gas, renewables, and utility infrastructure. Position Summary As a GIS Analyst, you transform legal descriptions, parcel data, and ownership records into accurate geospatial datasets that support title, curative, right of way, and client reporting needs. You build and maintain structured geodatabases, convert metes and bounds calls into mapped features, and ensure spatial accuracy aligns with underlying legal documentation. Your work directly impacts due diligence timelines, risk identification, and project execution by making complex tract and corridor information clear, searchable, and decision ready. The ideal candidate is detail focused, process driven, and comfortable working cross functionally with Title, ROW, and project leadership.
