Job description
USA Land Group is seeking an experienced, highly organized Land Development Project Manager to manage due diligence on land acquisitions from contract through closing, renegotiation, or termination.
We buy and sell rural land across multiple markets, often creating value through subdivision and resale. This role will evaluate subdivision potential, coordinate with counties and vendors, identify development risks, and help determine whether a property is a good acquisition.
We are looking for someone with 1+ years of relevant experience in land development, civil engineering, surveying, subdivisions, county planning and zoning, or real estate development. Experience working directly with counties and major or minor subdivisions is strongly preferred.
Key Responsibilities
Manage under-contract properties through the full diligence process
Research zoning, subdivision rules, lot sizes, frontage, access, setbacks, and other county requirements
Communicate with county planning, zoning, environmental health, and other departments
Evaluate subdivision feasibility and potential lot configurations
Coordinate with engineers, surveyors, soil scientists, attorneys, and other vendors
Review surveys, plats, soil information, easements, access, and related diligence materials
Coordinate perc tests, surveys, split plans, and engineering work
Track deadlines, vendor progress, and contract milestones
Identify issues that may affect cost, timing, or property value
Prepare findings and recommendations for internal acquisition review
Coordinate closing or termination once a final decision is made
Qualifications
1+ years of relevant experience required
Experience working with counties or municipalities strongly preferred
Major or minor subdivision experience preferred
Ability to understand surveys, plats, zoning maps, GIS, and subdivision ordinances
Strong project management, communication, and problem-solving skills
Ability to manage multiple properties, deadlines, and vendors at once
Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership
Candidates do not need to be licensed engineers or surveyors, but should understand how land moves through the diligence, subdivision, and approval process.
What Success Looks Like
