Job description

Mission - Why we exist and why we need you

Geothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source in the world. 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 cost-effective and vital contributor to a carbon-free energy future. We are revolutionizing the exploration process, setting new industry standards for discovery rates and finding new prospects at an unprecedented scale.

You will work closely with cross-functional experts in various groups such as land acquisition, development, exploration, and R&D.

  • Flexibility: Can perform analysis on a variety of projects with different transaction deadlines and shifting priorities. Feels comfortable structuring and resolving ambiguity in order to come up with an actionable answer.

  • Cross-functional communicator: Able to translate various internal and external teams' input into analysis as well as communicate the impact of those with stakeholders.

Location, Salary, and Benefits
    • The position is based out of our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.

    • We have a hybrid schedule, with Mon-Wed required in-office.

    • Base Salary: $5,000 monthly stipend

    • Expected 30-40 hour commitment per week

    • Paid holidays

    • A direct impact in displacing carbon emissions

    • Growth opportunities in future full-time roles at a fast growing startup
