Fervo Energy (NASDAQ: FRVO) is a modern power company developing next-generation geothermal resources to meet the growing demand for affordable, reliable, 24/7 carbon-free energy. Our mission is to transform geothermal into America’s most dependable and affordable source of clean, around-the-clock power.

Our flagship Cape Station development in Utah is planned to deliver 500 MW of firm, carbon-free power, and we are advancing a development pipeline of more than 50 GW. Join us and work alongside world-class engineers, geoscientists, operators, project builders, and business leaders working to make geothermal a cornerstone of a more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future.

We are seeking an Income Tax Manager to own Fervo’s federal and state income tax compliance and ASC 740 provision processes, while partnering on the tax planning, credit, and structuring matters that are central to a capital-intensive clean energy business. This role sits within the Tax organization and works hands-on across a multi-entity, partnership-heavy structure that includes tax equity arrangements, project entities, and a growing corporate footprint.

The Income Tax Manager will prepare and review the income tax provision, manage external compliance providers, support tax equity and project finance structures, and help operationalize clean energy credits such as the ITC and PTC.
