Mission Why we exist and why we need you

Geothermal energy is a massive renewable energy resource sitting below our feet. There is 2300 times more energy in geothermal heat in the ground than in oil gas coal and methane combined. However historically its been hard to find and expensive to develop. At Zanskar were using better technology to find and develop new geothermal resources in order to make geothermal power the most affordable form of widely-deployable 24/7 carbon-free generation on the planet.

Field data is Zanskars life blood; we rely on accurate and precise field measurements that are essential to guiding our exploration and development efforts. Our 2 or 3-person field teams composed of geologic and equipment technicians collaborate with our geologists and geoscientists on geothermal exploration projects. These teams employ a variety of geologic geochemical and drilling methods.

The primary role of the Geology Technician is to ensure all scientific field methods and sampling are being performed to the highest addition to scientific responsibilities the technician will support daily field operations including the operation and maintenance of vehicles UTVs and light mechanical equipment and tools.

Outcomes - Problems youll solve

Success in this role within six months means you can safely efficiently and independently mobilize to remote field locations and collect high-quality data that supports the identification and refinement of geothermal anomaly targets.
