About the role The Land Specialist secures the land and land rights TNC's nuclear development projects depend on, from FEL 0 through FEL 3. The role owns the land workstream on assigned projects: defining what land is needed, engaging owners, securing access and control, resolving title, mineral, and third-party interests, and closing the acquisition ahead of FID. The role is responsible for achieving and maintaining site control – as defined (differently) by the interconnection provider, the NRC, and project financing. The role is also responsible for activities that are critical to maintaining the project schedule, including invasive site access in time for the meteorological tower to begin its data gathering and resolution of any road, railway, or pipeline crossing the site. Responsibilities Land Requirement and Site Control Translate technology land parameters and the hazard standoff envelope into a stated land requirement, giving both the minimum viable and target footprint. Maintain the parcel register: ownership, tenancy, encumbrances, and classification of each parcel as core or contingent. Lead landowner engagement and negotiate options, leases, easements, and purchase agreements. Maintain the control register, recording per parcel which of the three control standards each instrument satisfies, and manage option expiries, extensions, and payments. Access, Title, and Third-Party Interests Secure both access instruments: non-invasive right of entry, and invasive access for geotechnical, environmental, and meteorological tower work. Manage title examination, curative work, insurance, and the ALTA/NSPS survey. Determine mineral severance early and resolve it by acquisition, waiver, or non-disturbance agreement. Inventory every road, railway, pipeline, and utility on or adjacent to the site, establish what each legally is, classify it as removable, relocatable, or permanent, and secure for those that remain the emergency traffic control arrangements the license relies on (10 CFR 100.3). Corridor, Offsite Rights, and Entitlements Acquire corridor rights for interconnection, water intake and discharge, heavy haul, barge landing, and rail spur, including USACE, submerged land, highway, and railroad crossing consents. Secure offsite construction land for laydown, module assembly, batch
