About the opportunity

Axyde Analytics is assembling a U.S.-eligible team for USTDA Global Critical Minerals Project Scoping Services. The anticipated 24-month assignment may include concept screens, assessments, TORs and budgets, project reports, sector deep dives, stakeholder consultations and limited international travel. This is a contingent, project-based consulting opportunity; engagement depends on contract award and assignment demand.

What you will do

  • Assess tailings-storage concepts, siting, containment, deposition, water recovery, monitoring, governance and material failure modes.
  • Review mine-water balances, surface/groundwater interactions, seepage, treatment needs, acid-rock drainage and metal-leaching risks.
  • Evaluate progressive reclamation, closure design, closure cost and financial assurance, post-closure performance and legacy-site remediation.
  • Develop or review TORs, work plans, schedules and budgets for geotechnical, hydrological, geochemical, closure and environmental studies.
  • Support project screens and field consultations in data-limited emerging-market settings while clearly separating fact, assumption and recommendation.

Minimum qualifications

  • At least 10 years of mine-tailings, mine-water, closure or remediation experience, including direct responsibility for technical work products.
  • B.S. or higher in civil, geotechnical, geological, environmental, mining or closely related engineering discipline.
  • Experience with operating mines and/or feasibility/due-diligence studies for new or expanded mines.
  • Working knowledge of applicable international good practice for tailings governance, environmental assessment and mine closure.

Preferred qualifications

  • Current U.S. PE or comparable professional credential.
  • Experience with GISTM-aligned reviews, independent technical review, closure-cost estimating or lender technical advisory work.
  • Field experience in low- and middle-income countries and ability to work through incomplete baseline data.

Required eligibility

  • U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident; able to certify eligibility before proposal use or engagement.
  • Available for short-turn remote assignments, on-call work during an anticipated 24-month period, and international travel when requested.
  • Able to sign confidentiality, conflict-of-interest, commitment/consent and other required representations.

How to express interest

  • Apply through the posting platform or the Axyde Analytics contact that shared this announcement. Include:
  • Resume or CV limited to three pages, emphasizing directly relevant projects and personal responsibilities.
  • A 150-word summary connecting your experience to this role and identifying critical-minerals commodities and countries supported.
  • Availability through the anticipated performance period, travel capacity, and confirmation of U.S.-citizen or lawful-permanent-resident status; do not send identity documents.
  • Proposed hourly/daily rate or rate range and any known organizational or financial conflicts.
Axyde Analytics may contact only candidates whose qualifications match an anticipated assignment. This announcement is not a promise of employment or subcontract award.
