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.

The Summer Internship program will give applicants broad exposure to geothermal development and the strategic decisions that lead to economically viable projects. We expect interns to interface with many teams at Zanskar, under the direction of the finance & development managers, and to work on real & high-impact deliverables for the Company.
