Zanskar Summer Internship

Powering the future with the Earth’s hidden heat.

Geothermal is carbon-free, always-on power but most of the world’s geothermal resources remain undiscovered and undeveloped.

Zanskar is changing that. We take a AI and data-driven, scalable approach to geothermal discovery and development combining modern geoscience and advanced field methods to identify and tap into overlooked or underutilized geothermal resources.

By making geothermal faster and more predictable to develop, we’re unlocking its potential to deliver gigawatts of clean, firm energy and to become a cornerstone of our future energy system.

Mission – Why we exist and why we need you

Geothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source on the planet, yet it remains under-deployed because it has historically been hard to find and expensive to build. Zanskar is changing that equation by using advanced exploration technology to discover new geothermal resources at unprecedented scale, and we’re moving a multi-gigawatt portfolio toward construction.

Zanskar is a geothermal exploration and development company based in Salt Lake City. We combine geoscience, data, and modern exploration techniques to unlock a new generation of geothermal projects across the United States. Our team is small, fast-moving, and deeply committed to building scalable clean energy solutions.
