Job description

Description

Internship Overview 


You won't be running coffee orders or shuffling paperwork this summer. At Fervo, interns are handed something real: a project of your own, scoped with your manager on day one and yours to drive for the full 12 weeks. You'll work side-by-side with the teams building the next generation of geothermal energy, tackling problems that genuinely move the business forward. At the end of the summer, you'll present your work to our executive leadership team, department leads, and fellow interns, sharing real results with a real audience. This is a real seat at the table - and a real shot at what comes next. 


Position Description 


Fervo Energy is developing next-generation geothermal power to deliver firm, carbon-free energy at scale, anchored by our flagship Cape Station project in Milford, Utah. As a Drilling Intern, you'll own a defined project aimed at improving drilling performance on our active program - working closely with Fervo's drilling engineers to analyze performance data and apply advanced techniques. You'll gain exposure to both office-based engineering and field operations, picking up hands-on experience at the intersection of engineering, field ops, and renewable energy innovation, with strong performers considered for a full-time offer on the Drilling & Completions team. 

Requirements

Responsibilities 

  • Support well planning and offset well analysis
  • Help prepare and QC daily drilling reports
  • Track drilling performance metrics (ROP, cost per foot, days per well)
  • Assist with vendor and rig-site coordination as needed
  • Support special projects for the Drilling engineering team 

Required Qualifications 

  • Rising Junior, Senior, Master's candidate wrapping up within the next year, or PhD candidate - we're building a pipeline toward full-time offers
  • Pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, or Chemical Engineering (other core technical majors considered)
  • Minimum GPA of 3.0
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort presenting to stakeholders and leadership
  • Eagerness to learn, take initiative, and adapt quickly to new challenges
  • Comfort working with technical field data
  • Strong analytical mindset and attention to detail 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Previous Drilling & Completions or oil & gas industry experience
  • A genuine, well-articulated interest in Fervo and geothermal energy - a thoughtful, tailored cover letter is a plus
