Land Origination Roles in Renewable Energy
Professionals in land origination roles in renewable energy are responsible for identifying suitable land parcels, engaging with landowners, and securing rights to develop clean energy infrastructure. These roles require a blend of local knowledge, negotiation skills, and cross-functional collaboration with planning, grid, and development teams.
Typical land origination roles in renewables include:
Land Scout / Land Agent – Identifying and assessing potential development sites based on proximity to grid, access, and planning feasibility.
Land Origination Executive / Manager – Leading engagement with landowners, securing Heads of Terms, and managing relationships through to option agreement.
Head of Land / Land Strategy Lead – Defining national or regional origination strategy, managing internal teams and external partners.
Land & Community Liaison Manager – Supporting stakeholder engagement and building trust with local communities and authorities.
Land Acquisition Analyst – Evaluating land risk, opportunity, and alignment with wider project and portfolio strategy.
These professionals are often the first point of contact in the development process—helping renewable projects get off the ground, quite literally.
