Real Estate Specialist

California

Energy Project Solutions (EPS) is an energy consulting firm that helps partners deliver efficient, high-value projects through localized expertise and real-world insight. With more than 500 years of collective experience, our team leads complex energy developments from inception through construction, bringing deep knowledge across engineering, real estate, business development, and finance while leveraging strong relationships with developers, owners, financial institutions, and property owners nationwide. 

We are seeking a seeking a full-time Real Estate Specialist to support the development of complex energy and transmission infrastructure projects throughout the Western United States, with a particular emphasis on California. This is a remote position with travel required. You'll work directly with project development, routing, environmental, permitting, and stakeholder engagement teams to secure the real property rights necessary for the successful development and construction of high-voltage transmission lines, substations, renewable energy facilities, and related infrastructure. This is a project-delivery and client-service driven role, not a commission-based real estate position, for someone who understands that successful infrastructure development requires balancing landowner relationships, project schedules, regulatory requirements, and client objectives.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead acquisition of easements, rights-of-way, licenses, options, and other property rights for energy and transmission infrastructure projects across the Western U.S.

  • Support route development and siting efforts through landowner identification, property ownership research, and land constraint analysis.

  • Conduct title review, ownership verification, and property due diligence to inform project planning and risk assessment.

  • Negotiate agreements with private landowners, public agencies, utilities, and other stakeholders — balancing project objectives with professional, relationship-driven engagement.

  • Coordinate closely with project managers, environmental teams, permitting specialists, and engineers as part of multidisciplinary project delivery teams.

  • Assist with real estate strategy development during project planning and feasibility phases, helping clients understand acquisition risks, land constraints, and schedule impacts.

  • Support stakeholder outreach efforts related to property acquisition and landowner engagement.

  • Maintain accurate project records, databases, and acquisition status reporting throughout the project lifecycle.

  • Provide real estate expertise during project development, permitting, and construction phases.

Who You Are

  • You have 5+ years of experience supporting energy, utility, transmission, renewable energy, or infrastructure development projects.

  • You have demonstrated experience acquiring rights-of-way and easements for linear infrastructure projects — you've done this work, not just managed it.

  • You have a strong understanding of real estate acquisition processes throughout the Western United States.

  • You have direct experience working on projects in California, including familiarity with California land use, utility, and development environments.

  • You are comfortable operating within a consulting environment where client service, responsiveness, and technical expertise are paramount.

  • You are organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple active acquisitions across concurrent projects.

  • You communicate clearly and professionally with landowners, clients, agency representatives, and internal project teams.

  • You are able to travel as needed throughout the Western U.S.

 

Nice to Have

  • Previous experience working for a consulting firm supporting utility, transmission, renewable energy, or infrastructure clients.

  • Experience supporting high-voltage transmission line and substation projects.

  • Familiarity with federal, state, tribal, and local agency coordination related to land acquisition and right-of-way.

  • Experience working with investor-owned utilities, public utilities, developers, or independent transmission companies.

  • Working knowledge of title, appraisal, survey, and land services disciplines.

  • California utility, transmission, or renewable energy project experience strongly preferred.

  • Experience delivering real estate services as part of a broader multidisciplinary consulting organization.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
