Senior Geophysicist

Zanskar
Senior Geophysicist
Location: Salt Lake City, UT
Hours: Full Time; Salaried, Hybrid
Benefits Eligible: Yes
Position still open 4/17/2026

Geothermal is abundant but historically hard to find and expensive to develop. Zanskar modernizes geothermal exploration by combining field data collection, advanced imaging, and data science so developers can drill with confidence. Your mission is to detect and characterize the faults that control geothermal fluid flow—with special emphasis on extensional provinces and volcanic terranes where there are many wavefield scatterers, high wavefront attenuation, and often weak impedance contrasts —and to turn active‑source seismic data into drill‑relevant decisions. This role bridges survey design, acquisition, processing, anisotropic depth modeling and imaging, and clear uncertainty communication to internal stakeholders.

Outcomes-- Problems you'll solve

Design seismic surveys to see reflections from offset strata and/or faults and fault zones. Align survey geometry, near‑surface strategy, and interpretation goals with exploration and reservoir teams so the design maximizes fault detectability.
Deliver depth‑migrated fault images with stated uncertainty. Run robust land survey workflows (elevation/refraction statics, denoise/ground‑roll attenuation, decon, Q‑comp) and use time-migration for rapid QC and depth migration for final imaging.
Build reliable velocity models. Iterate with tomography (and FWI where practical); validate with angle‑domain gathers, horizon ties, and well/checkshot control when available; demonstrate depth accuracy fit‑for‑drilling.
Focus on permeability‑controlling structure. Emphasize fault/fracture characterization and subtle offsets typical of extensional & volcanic settings; produce fault‑focused deliverables and quantify uncertainty.
Own vendor execution. Draft SoWs with measurable acceptance criteria (e.g., gather flatness, depth mistie budgets, formats, reproducibility); run technical evaluations; lead day‑to‑day QC; sign off on deliverables; integrate external results into Zanskar’s versioned models.

What we're looking for (Required)

MSc or PhD in Geophysics, Seismology, Physics, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent experience).
5+ years in land 2D and/or 3D active‑source design, processing, and depth imaging. With demonstrated fault modeling and/or fault imaging—bonus if completed in extensional settings or volcanic zones (your priority for the role).
Strong statics and near‑surface model building (refraction; exposure to FWI).
Proven anisotropic model building (VTI required; TTI strongly preferred) with gather‑based QC (flattening, residual moveout).
Experience overseeing contractors: writing SoWs, evaluating bids, managing schedule/budget, running acceptance tests, and integrating results

Preferred Experience

Basin & Range or analogous extensional‑terrain experience.
FWI for near‑surface/velocity updates; RTM and other novel imaging exposure.
Cloud/GPU workflows; Python fluency, version control (git) and CI for processing recipes.

Location and Benefits

The position is based out of our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a hybrid position

Position still open 4/17/2026

Why we exist

At Zanskar, we combine deep subsurface expertise with modern data and modeling to improve geothermal discovery and development outcomes. We conduct well tests and build reservoir models to make better calls on well targeting, and field optimization strategy.

Who you are

The Senior Geothermal Reservoir Engineer will play a critical role in understanding and forecasting geothermal reservoir performance and translating that understanding into field development decisions. A successful candidate will:
Lead - own reservoir engineering workstreams end-to-end: test planning, execution support, interpretation, model updates, and recommendations.
Model - move fluently between well test interpretation and numerical simulation, and reconcile mismatches between model predictions and field behavior.
Collaborate - partner closely with geoscience, drilling, facilities, and operations teams to drive alignment and decision quality.
Teach - raise the technical bar through strong documentation, clear communication, and mentorship across disciplines.

What you’ll do

Well test design, execution support, and interpretation
Plan and oversee well tests and surveillance programs (production tests, injection tests, pressure transient tests, interference tests, falloff/step-rate tests, spinner/PTS campaigns, and tracer tests as appropriate).
Provide real-time support during tests and interpret results post-test (e.g., permeability-thickness, skin, boundaries, connectivity, injectivity/productivity, and reservoir pressure trends).
Build repeatable analysis workflows, templates, and QC checks so results are trustworthy and comparable across wells and campaigns.

History matching and integrated reservoir/wellbore modeling

Build, calibrate, and maintain reservoir models that match observed field history (rates, pressures, temperatures/enthalpy, injectivity/productivity, and tracer/connectivity signals).
Perform sensitivity and uncertainty analysis; communicate what is known vs. uncertain and what data would most reduce uncertainty.

Forecasting, development planning, and optimization

Generate production and injectivity forecasts under multiple operational and development scenarios (including uncertainty ranges).
Evaluate reservoir management strategies (injection allocation, make-up well timing, pump strategies, and remediation options as relevant).
Translate model outputs into decision-ready recommendations (generation impacts, operational tradeoffs, and key risks).
Data, tooling, and cross-functional communication
Maintain high-quality operating datasets and ensure completeness and provenance across test data, production/injection data, and well logs.
Build lightweight analytics (Python/SQL) to automate recurring analyses and monitoring dashboards.
Present findings via concise memos and reviews; be the owner of the reservoir narrative that leaders and operators can rely on.

What we’re looking for

B.S. (or higher) in Reservoir Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Geoscience, or a related field.
4+ years of reservoir engineering experience in geothermal and/or analogous subsurface industries (oil & gas, hydrogeology, CCS), with demonstrated ownership of well tests and reservoir modeling work.

Proven excellence in several of the following technical skills:

Well testing and surveillance: design and interpretation of PTA (build-up, falloff/step-rate), interference/connectivity tests, injectivity/productivity, and tracer-based diagnostics; strong data QC.
Numerical simulation: develop and update geothermal reservoir models with wellbore models; calibrate against field data and integrate geologic constraints into conceptual and numerical models.
History matching: ability to adjust parameters systematically, understand non-uniqueness, and communicate uncertainty and model limitations

Forecasting: scenario-based production and injectivity forecasts tied to operational constraints; translate results into actionable field recommendations.

Cross-functional communication: write clear technical memos, present tradeoffs, and collaborate effectively with operations, drilling, and facilities teams.
Nice-to-haves: reservoir-surface network integration; probabilistic history matching/optimization workflows; fluency in Python and SQL.

Location and Benefits

The position is based out of our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a hybrid position with periodic travel (~15-30%) to operating geothermal assets.

Benefits include:

Paid holidays
18 days PTO + PTO accrual increase based on tenure
