Right of Way

Primary Work Area

Midland, Texas to Fort Worth, Texas, including surrounding counties and adjacent project areas as needed.

Build Relationships. Secure Access. Keep Projects Moving.

At Halo Land Management, our Right of Way Agents do more than secure signatures. They represent our clients in the field, build trust with landowners, and help move critical energy and infrastructure projects forward with professionalism, urgency, and accuracy.

Halo Land Management partners with leading energy and infrastructure developers to support the projects that power communities and grow economies. From title research and land acquisition to negotiation and right of way support, our teams deliver high quality land services with a strong commitment to communication, precision, and landowner respect.

As we continue to grow, we are building a clear and consistent standard for what success looks like in every role. The Right of Way Agent is a key part of that standard, especially as we expand project activity across Texas.

Position Summary

As a Right of Way Agent, you are the direct connection between Halo’s clients and the landowners who make project development possible.
