Project Land Manager – Morgantown, WV (Hybrid)
Purple Land Management (PLM) is seeking experienced Project Land Managers to lead land services projects across the United States. This role is ideal for professionals who combine a strong foundation in land services with demonstrated success leading projects, teams, and client engagements.
