Overview

NOT A REMOTE POSITION. DO NOT APPLY FOR REMOTE WORK.

Company/Opportunity:

Founded by experienced E&P and minerals professionals, Cloud Peak Minerals, a subsidiary of Flat River Minerals (FRM), is a strategic mineral and royalty acquisition company with a dedicated in-house Appalachian title research team. We are seeking motivated, detail-oriented individuals to join our title group in an entry-level capacity. This role is intentionally designed for candidates with little to no prior title experience who are eager to learn a highly specialized and valuable skillset in oil and gas.

This is a hands-on training opportunity for individuals who are intellectually curious, comfortable working with documents and data, and interested in building a long-term career in mineral and royalty ownership research across West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. No prior land or title experience is required — we are looking for aptitude, work ethic, and attention to detail, not resumes full of past title work.

Job Duties:

• Research county land records to determine surface and mineral ownership using online databases and courthouse records
• Learn to analyze deeds, leases, assignments, probate filings, and related documents
• Build and maintain title chains from patent to present using the Company’s title software
• Accurately input, organize, and validate title data within internal systems
• Flag potential title issues or irregularities for review by senior landmen or legal counsel
• Collaborate with team members in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment

Compensation: Commensurate with experience; salary, full benefits (medical, dental, vision), 6% 401k match, and performance incentives. Performance-based bonus program paid quarterly (target annual bonus of approximately 30% of base salary).

Location: Position will be based out of the Company’s office near Fairmont/Morgantown/Clarksburg, WV or office in Canonsburg, PA.

Required Competencies:

• Associate’s degree preferred; bachelor’s degree a plus (Degree requirement may be waived for candidates who demonstrate strong aptitude, intelligence, and motivation)
• No prior title or land experience required
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work accurately with legal documents
• Ability to meet daily and weekly deadlines in a changing work environment
• Comfort learning and using new software platforms
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• High level of initiative, accountability, and self-motivation

This role offers a clear advancement track into higher-level land and title positions, with increased responsibility, compensation, and incentives for individuals who demonstrate strong performance, accuracy, and growth. We value curiosity, work ethic, and attention to detail more than prior industry experience. If you’re eager to learn and take ownership of your work, we encourage you to apply.
