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. Zanskar is changing that. Our team of geoscientists, data scientists, seismologists, and developers are building new exploration and development tools to make geothermal a scaled contributor to a fully carbon-free electrical grid. 

Field data is Zanskar’s life blood; we rely on measurements collected by our field teams, working in conjunction with our geologists and geoscientists, to further geothermal exploration. As the outlook for geothermal energy continues to build steam, so does Zanskar’s growth, and our equipment maintenance needs. We are currently seeking a mechanic to support Zankar’s increasing fleet of off-road vehicles, light construction tools, and shallow drilling equipment. This position will be responsible for maintenance and repair of all company vehicles and equipment to ensure proper operation and increase life.
