Mission – Why we exist and why we need you

Geothermal energy is a massive renewable energy resource sitting below our feet. 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 power the most affordable form of widely-deployable, 24/7, carbon-free generation on the planet.

Field data is Zanskar’s 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 Geologic Technician is to ensure all scientific field methods and sampling are being performed to the highest standards. In 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.
