Details

At GeoSource, we contribute to the fight against climate change by providing renewable and sustainable heating and cooling to buildings through ground-source geothermal systems. Therefore, in order to continue reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector we need to continue growing our client base. This ultimately results in the replacement of conventional fossil fuel-driven and low efficiency electric heating and cooling systems with renewable, high efficiency geothermal systems.

As industry leaders in this space, we believe that education and advocacy is paramount to driving the increased market share of geothermal heating and cooling energy systems. For this reason, we're looking for one virtual intern to write 4-6 technical, but creatively entertaining blog posts for our website to educate stakeholders of the unique benefits of geothermal heating and cooling systems. The focus of each blog post will be provided by our team, and the student will be tasked with researching and drafting the posts themselves.

Tasks for this project may include (but are not limited to): Writing and researching 4-6 inspirational pieces to educate various stakeholder groups exploring topics such as:

  • Integration with beneficial electrification concepts;
  • Building sustainable/future ready communities;
  • How building geothermal energy infrastructure assists in mitigation of climate change;
  • How geothermal energy systems can positively contribute to/address regional low carbon/net zero building policy; and
  • Various other elements of geothermal energy systems.

Suitable for students with an engineering/applied science/environmental studies background, with an appetite for creative writing; however, we will consider applicants from all backgrounds that are interested in applying.
