Mission – Why we exist and why we need you
Geothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source in the world. There is 2,300 times more energy in geothermal heat in the ground than in oil, gas, coal, and methane combined. However, historically it’s been hard to find and expensive to develop. At Zanskar, we’re using better technology to find and develop new geothermal resources in order to make geothermal a cheap and vital contributor to a carbon-free electrical grid.
The Partnerships Project Geologist plays a critical role in enabling this mission by supporting collaborative geothermal projects with external partners from early exploration through development readiness. This role sits at the intersection of geoscience, project coordination, and external collaboration helping ensure that partnership projects are technically sound, well-defined, and positioned for successful advancement and investment.
Outcomes - Problems you’ll solve
In this role, you will help Zanskar and its partners de-risk geothermal opportunities across the full project lifecycle, from early-stage exploration through development planning and diligence. You will support partnership projects by providing high quality subsurface interpretation, coordinating technical workflows, and translating geoscience into actionable development insights, including drill targets and drilling oversight.
$120,000 - $140,000 a year
