Job Description
We don't just plot parcels at Halo Land Management – we transform raw spatial data into business-relevant legal intelligence. As a GIS Analyst, you would transform title research and land records into clean, business-ready geospatial datasets that inform high-value energy projects across America.
Halo was established in 2015 with our headquarters located in Canton, Ohio. We are a land services business ranked as one of America's fastest-growing businesses. We combine precision, clarity, and deep industry know-how to take care of utilities, oil & gas, and renewable infrastructure — and design each team with people who believe in a philosophy of speed, precision, and ownership.
A Day in the Life: GIS That Matters
You get started and choose your first project: staging 14 mineral tracts in West Virginia into clean, well-shined shapefiles with correct topology. You get started with importing survey PDFs and deed call datasets into ArcGIS Pro, synchronizing parcel boundaries with publicly accessible tax datasets, removing overlaps.
You reconcile title differences by noon from a title abstractor’s charting tool — cross-referencing earlier deeds with territorial lines to flag for potential mineral ownership breaks. You see an odd metes-and-bounds description, flag it for the lead, and tag with a map mark as well as a portal annotation.
Next you clean a transmission corridor shapefile, normalize attribute tables, and QA two overlapping lease polygons with attorneys. Every layer you handoff in turns impacts risk, speed, and decision-making further down the workflow.
What You’ll Do
Create, maintain, and QC GIS datasets for land and title projects
Convert metes-and-bounds, tax parcel, and tract data to relevant shapefiles
Connect ownership data with spatial databases of surface tracts as well as mineral tracts
Assist title teams to plot HBP leases, cure gaps, and lines of estate
Well-designed, clean geodatabases that meet internal requirements as well as client specifications
Regularly communicate with abstractors, ROW agents, and project leads
What Success Looks Like
On time delivery of shapefiles, maps or updated web layers, the final product is based on the client's needs.
Title gaps explained visually and in writing – before they impact delivery
Prompt, early communication with abstractors and leads
Clear documentation and organization of datasets and metadata
Good spatial accuracy and alignment of title/property deed records with map layers
What You Bring
Bachelor’s in Geography, GIS, Urban Planning, Computer Science, or Engineering
2+ years of GIS experience with oil & gas, utilities, ROW, or energy industry sectors of some kind
Advanced usage of ArcGIS Desktop, Pro, and Online on workplace projects
Knowledge of relational databases, as well as data management fundamentals
Familiarity with Microsoft Excel: pivot tables, formulas, joins, formatting of big datasets
History of communicating effectively within/among teams as well as organizational levels
Experience with interactions with legal, title, or land departments
Systematic, analytical, detail-oriented - able to manage multiple datasets simultaneously
Self-motivated, reactive, and end-oriented more than process-oriented
Bonus If You Have
Experience with title/land work in Appalachian Basin
Familiarity with Landex, deed index systems, or courthouse GIS portals
