About This Job


Role Overview


Title: Drilling Field Supervisor


Hours: Full Time; Salaried

Location: Based in Salt Lake City, Utah; Travel 75% - 100%


Benefits Eligible: Yes


Leader: Drilling Superintendent

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. At Zanskar, we’re using better technology to find and develop new geothermal resources in order to make geothermal a cheap and vital contributor to a carbon-free electrical grid.


Role Summary

As a Drilling Field Supervisor, you will be the on-site lead for a single drilling rig, executing the approved drilling program, supervising the crew, and ensuring safe, efficient progress each shift. You will work closely with the Drilling Superintendent and engineering staff, escalating issues and providing accurate daily reports.


Key Responsibilities

Lead daily rig activities and supervise drilling crews to deliver the well plan safely and on schedule.
Enforce HSE and regulatory requirements; conduct pre-shift safety meetings and ensure proper permits are in place.
Monitor drilling parameters (ROP, WOB, mud properties, etc.) and adjust within program guidelines; promptly communicate variances to the Drilling Superintendent.
Coordinate on-site logistics—materials, consumables, and service personnel—to minimize non-productive time.
Maintain rig equipment readiness by scheduling routine inspections and first-line maintenance; initiate work orders for more complex repairs.
Generate accurate daily reports (operations, costs, and HSE) and participate in after-action reviews.
Mentor and train crew members on safe work practices and basic drilling procedures.
Support continuous improvement by suggesting practical efficiency or safety enhancements observed in the field.


Minimum Qualifications

5+ years of drilling experience, including at least 5 years in a lead-hand, or supervisory driller role on a drilling rig or equivalent work.
Working knowledge of rotary or RC drilling equipment, drilling fluids, and well control fundamentals.
Ability to travel and work extended field rotations (e.g., 14 on/14 off or 14 on/7 off as operations dictate).
Proven track record of maintaining a safe work environment and following standard operating procedures.
Strong communication and basic computer skills for daily reporting (Google Workspace or similar).


Preferred Qualifications

Class A CDL and/or state well-driller license, or willing to secure said license(s) (western states).
Geothermal, mineral exploration, or geotechnical drilling background.
Experience with mud rotary, reverse circulation, sonic, or core drilling techniques.
Familiarity with preventative maintenance programs and basic rig troubleshooting.


General Field Requirements

At least 18 years old, eligible to work in the U.S., and possess a valid driver’s license with no major infractions in the past three years.
Commit to personal and team safety, demonstrate professionalism, and maintain a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
Comfortable working outdoors in all weather, lifting/pushing/pulling up to 50 lbs, bending, kneeling, and standing for long periods.
Able to navigate remote locations with GPS and follow company communication protocols.


Equal Opportunity Employer

Zanskar is an equal opportunity employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws.

Note: This position operates heavy machinery and is subject to pre-employment hair-follicle drug screening and background check.
