Sr Drilling and Completions Engineer

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 geothermalresources in order to make geothermal a cheap and vital contributor to a carbon-free electrical grid. In order to find and develop a portfolio of new geothermal projects, we need a Drilling and Completions Engineer to join our Drilling team to enable large-scale drill programs, scope completion parameters, monitor drilling programs in-field, and identify ways to drill safely and more rapidly in frontier geothermal systems.
