Are you a general engineer or physical scientist interested in working for the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO)? GTO is currently seeking applicants for a General Engineer/ Physical Scientist position (GS-0801/1301-13) within our Low Temperature and Coproduced Resources team in either Washington, D.C. or Golden, Colorado.
GTO conducts research and development to reduce costs and risks associated with geothermal development by supporting innovative technologies that address key exploration and deployment barriers.
DOE has Direct Hire Authority to fill this science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) position.

This research focuses on improving the efficiency of low-temperature (below 300°F) geothermal systems and expanding their utility through value-added commercial opportunities—facilitating near-term development of innovative geothermal technologies in geographically diverse areas of the country.
