Summary of Responsibilities:

We're looking for a Real Estate Project Manager who is passionate about building relationships, navigating complex projects, and working at the intersection of real estate, infrastructure, and community engagement.

ATC embraces flexibility in our work and our workplace. We trust our employees to get work done where and when it makes sense, depending on the schedule for the day and the needs of the business. However, this role is not 100% remote and would require relocation to Wisconsin.

Essential Responsibilities:

What You'll Do

As a Real Estate Project Manager, you'll oversee projects involving the acquisition, management, leasing, and disposal of property rights and real estate interests needed to support ATC's transmission system and business objectives.

Lead Real Estate Projects
  • Develop and manage project plans from initiation through completion
  • Coordinate activities across multiple internal and external stakeholders
  • Monitor schedules, budgets, deliverables, risks, and project performance
  • Ensure project objectives are achieved safely, efficiently, and compliantly

Secure Property Rights & Agreements
  • Manage easements, permits, licenses, leases, agreements, and other real estate interests
  • Support ownership research, title review, encumbrance analysis, and transaction activities
  • Coordinate approvals and documentation required to advance infrastructure projects

Negotiate & Build Relationships
  • Work directly with landowners, municipalities, government agencies, contractors, and business partners
  • Facilitate productive conversations and negotiate practical solutions
  • Address questions related to property rights, easements, construction impacts, and project requirements

Represent ATC in the Community
  • Participate in public information meetings, hearings, zoning discussions, and permitting processes
  • Serve as a professional representative of ATC in stakeholder interactions
  • Communicate complex information in a clear and approachable manner

Ensure Compliance & Accountability
  • Maintain accurate project documentation and records
  • Support corporate, regulatory, legal, and company compliance requirements
  • Manage contractor agreements and review contract performance and invoices


What You'll Bring

We recognize that great candidates come from many different backgrounds. You may be a strong fit if you have experience in:
  • Real estate acquisition or management
  • Right-of-way services
  • Utilities, energy, construction, transportation, or infrastructure projects
  • Land use planning, zoning, permitting, or municipal coordination
  • Project management and stakeholder engagement
  • Property services, title, appraisal, or surveying
  • Contract administration or business operations
  • Customer-facing roles requiring negotiation and relationship management


Education
  • Bachelor's or Associate's degree in Real Estate, Business, Management, Land Use Planning, Public Administration, Project Management, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent experience will also be considered.


Why ATC?

This is more than a traditional real estate role. You'll play a direct role in advancing infrastructure projects that strengthen the energy grid, support local communities, and help prepare the region for future energy needs.
  • Lead impactful real estate projects that directly support critical energy infrastructure
  • Collaborate with engineers, attorneys, project managers, construction teams, government agencies, and community stakeholders
  • Build trusted relationships with landowners and local officials
  • Influence project outcomes through negotiation, communication, and strategic problem-solving
  • Grow your expertise in real estate, right-of-way, permitting, land acquisition, leasing, stakeholder engagement, and infrastructure development
  • Join an organization committed to safety, integrity, collaboration, and service


If you're looking for an opportunity where you can combine project management, relationship building, real estate expertise, and community engagement while helping deliver infrastructure projects that matter, we want you to join our Great Place to Work!

The targeted base pay for this position is $89,500 to $104,400 annually.* Base pay is one component of our comprehensive total rewards package which includes an annual incentive bonus, employer-sponsored pension plan, 401(k) match, HSA contribution, life & disability insurance, health care benefits, generous time off plans, flexible work arrangements, and much more.
