About Halo Land Management

Halo Land Management partners with leading energy and infrastructure developers to enable the projects that power communities and grow economies. From title research and curative support to negotiation and right of way execution, our teams move projects forward efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, communication, and professionalism.

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.

• Convert metes and bounds descriptions, surveys, plats, and deed call information into accurate GIS features
• Create and maintain shape files, feature classes, web layers, and map products for project needs
• Integrate tax parcel data, public record layers, and client provided datasets into consistent project work spaces
• Build tract, lease, corridor, and ownership layers that support both surface and mineral workflows

• Build and maintain metadata rich geodatabases aligned to internal standards and client specifications
• Standardize attribute tables, naming conventions, domains, and schema to support reporting and searchability
• Perform joins, relates, and dataset integrations to connect ownership and tract data to mapped layers
• Support version control practices so deliverables are consistent across edits and releases

• QA spatial accuracy, topology, and attribution to ensure mapped layers align with legal descriptions and source records
• Identify discrepancies between historic deeds, surveys, and current tract boundaries and flag items for review
• Annotate potential title gaps, ownership issues, or boundary conflicts in a clear and traceable way
• Validate final outputs against requirements before delivery to internal teams or clients

• Partner closely with Title, Curative, and ROW teams to ensure mapping reflects project realities and record evidence
• Communicate regularly with abstractors, land agents, and project leads to clarify scope, assumptions, and data needs
• Participate in review cycles with internal stakeholders to refine outputs and resolve open questions
• Support project meetings by translating complex spatial findings into clear visuals and summaries

• Manage multiple project priorities while maintaining accuracy, documentation, and consistent output quality
• Maintain organized files, documentation, and work notes so datasets remain auditable and transferable
• Proactively communicate blockers, data quality issues, or scope gaps before they impact timelines

Milestones help ensure each analyst is supported and developing as expected.

• Learn Halo GIS standards, file structures, naming conventions, and deliverable requirements
• Gain access to required tools, templates, shared drives, and project trackers
• Complete initial mapping tasks with guidance and feedback, including basic tract and parcel staging
• Demonstrate consistent documentation of sources, assumptions, and edits
• Produce at least one clean deliverable package that meets internal QA expectations

• Independently build and maintain project geodatabases with standardized attributes and metadata
• Convert metes and bounds descriptions into mapped features with strong accuracy and clear notes
• Identify and flag boundary or ownership discrepancies early with supporting context
• Deliver GIS outputs that require minimal revisions and align to client specifications
• Collaborate…
