Title Reviewer

Gray Hawk Land Solutions•Midland, TX

8d•Remote

About The Position

The Title Reviewer is the final accuracy check on title work before it is released to the project. The role reviews chains of title, Limited Title Certificates, ownership reports, and supporting documents produced by title agents, returns errors for correction, re-checks corrected work, and releases reviewed work to the Project Manager or project team. The reviewer also handles complex title work, curative work, and overflow as the review queue allows, with that work reviewed by the Title Supervisor or another reviewer rather than being self-reviewed. This is a senior individual-contributor role, not a supervisory position. Work assignment, prioritization, performance reviews, and discipline remain with the Title Supervisor. The reviewer works to Gray Hawk’s Title Standard, with accuracy, detail, and pace treated as equally important. The position is remote for a major natural gas pipeline project in the Permian Basin, Texas, with travel as assigned, and reports to the Title Supervisor or, if none is assigned, the Project Manager or ROW Supervisor.

Responsibilities

Review title agents’ chains of title, Limited Title Certificates, ownership reports, and supporting documents for accuracy and completeness against source records and project protocols.
Return errors to the agent who made them, explaining what was wrong and why, then re-check corrected work before releasing it.
Release reviewed title work to the Project Manager or project team; the Title Supervisor spot-checks a portion of reviewed work.
Escalate title defects, curative questions, conflicting records, and judgment calls to the Title Supervisor rather than resolving them independently.
Maintain a record of errors by type and agent, and report patterns to the Title Supervisor.
Answer title agents’ questions and help them apply project protocols consistently.
Take on complex tracts, curative work, and overflow title work when the review queue allows; ensure this work is reviewed by the Title Supervisor or another reviewer.

Represent the client and Gray Hawk with professionalism and integrity.
Follow Gray Hawk’s Field Safety Manual, acknowledge it, and complete Safety Training with the supervisor.
