About OneCrest Infra
OneCrest Infra develops commercial and mixed-use real estate across Delhi NCR and North India. We acquire land, build, lease to corporate occupiers, and sell the completed pre-leased assets to investors. Our portfolio includes multiple Commercial and Healthcare developments mainly in North India . Every one of those transactions runs on paper title chains, land records, agreements to sell, lease deeds, contractor agreements. This role is the in-house owner of that paper.
What This Role Actually Is
This is a property-focused role, not a general corporate compliance job. You will spend most of your time reading land records, assembling document sets, drafting agreements, and coordinating with our external counsel. Formal title opinions on acquisitions are issued by our external law firm.
Your job is to do the first pass pull and read the records, build the chain, spot the obvious problems early so we do not waste time and fees on a bad plot, and give external counsel a clean, complete file to work from. You will also draft and manage the bulk of our routine documentation in-house.You will work directly with the Chairman and with our project, finance, and site teams.

- External Counsel Coordination: Prepare the complete file for external counsel, brief them clearly,
and follow through on their queries until the title opinion is issued; support legal notices, recovery correspondence, and dispute matters.
- Transactional & Corporate Drafting: Draft and review Agreements to Sell, Sale Deeds, MOUs, and Development Agreements using firm-approved formats (buyer and seller side).
- Leasing: Draft and review commercial lease deeds for corporate tenants covering lock-in, escalation, security deposit, fit-out, exit, and renewal terms.
- Contracts & Vendor Documentation: Draft and review contractor agreements, works contracts, consultancy agreements, and vendor documentation.
- Financials & Registration: Handle stamp duty computation, land duties, registration, and coordination at Sub-Registrar offices across Haryana, Delhi, and Punjab.
