Platinum-Group Metals and Catalyst-Recycling Specialists - Remote

Axyde Analytics

Detroit, MI • On-site, Remote

$150 - $300/hr

Part-time

Posted 15 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Evaluate PGM resource quality, quantity, mineralogy, and confidence.

  • Review mining, concentration, smelting, and refining assumptions.

  • Assess catalyst collection, aggregation, decanning, sampling, and preprocessing.

Job description

Work arrangement: Remote within the United States, with potential international travel
Engagement: Contingent, part-time/on-call specialist
Anticipated compensation: $150-$300 per hour, depending on qualifications and assignment, or a negotiated fixed price by work package. $300 per hour is the maximum anticipated rate.
Opportunity
Axyde Analytics is assembling a multidisciplinary expert team for anticipated U.S. government-funded project-scoping assignments involving critical minerals and international infrastructure.
We seek specialists capable of evaluating platinum-group-metal resources, concentration, smelting, refining, catalyst recycling and associated commercial supply chains.
Potential assignments may involve platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium or osmium; primary PGM deposits; nickel-copper byproduct streams; autocatalysts; industrial catalysts; electronics; fuel-cell materials; or other secondary sources.
Axyde does not expect one candidate to cover every PGM, process or end market. Applicants should identify the resources, feedstocks, technologies and commercial applications in which they possess direct, demonstrable expertise.
Specialist Tracks
We are recruiting experts in one or more of the following tracks:
  • PGM economic geology and resource evaluation
  • PGM and nickel-copper mining
  • Flotation and concentrate production
  • Smelting, converting and base-metal removal
  • Precious-metal separation and refining
  • Autocatalyst collection and recycling
  • Industrial and petroleum-catalyst recycling
  • Electronics and other secondary PGM recovery
  • Sampling, assay and metal accounting
  • Feed aggregation, grading and settlement
  • Pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical recycling
  • High-purity metal, sponge, powder and chemical production
  • Hydrogen, fuel-cell and electrolyzer applications
  • Automotive and industrial-catalyst markets
  • Metal leasing, working capital and price-risk management
  • Product qualification, customer acceptance and offtake
  • Responsible sourcing, provenance and chain of custody
  • Independent technical and commercial review

Potential Responsibilities
Depending on the assignment and specialist track, selected experts may:
  • Evaluate PGM resource quality, quantity, mineralogy and confidence.
  • Review mining, concentration, smelting and refining assumptions.
  • Assess flotation recovery, concentrate quality and impurity control.
  • Evaluate feed preparation, smelting, converting and base-metal-removal systems.
  • Review precious-metal separation, purification and finished-product requirements.
  • Assess catalyst collection, aggregation, decanning, sampling and preprocessing.
  • Evaluate assay methods, representativeness, accountability and settlement procedures.
  • Review pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical and combined recycling routes.
  • Develop or review integrated mass balances and metal-accountability systems.
  • Assess recovery, residence time, inventory, working capital and metal-leasing requirements.
  • Evaluate technology maturity, operating references, testwork and scale-up evidence.
  • Review emissions, hazardous constituents, residues, water and worker-safety requirements.
  • Identify decisive technical or commercial information gaps and define required diligence.
  • Evaluate power, utilities, logistics, security and associated infrastructure.
  • Contribute to capital-cost, operating-cost, schedule and implementation assumptions.
  • Assess small-market dynamics, price volatility, substitution and customer concentration.
  • Evaluate feed contracts, pricing, assay settlement, offtake and financing arrangements.
  • Identify realistic opportunities for U.S. equipment, engineering, technology and services.
  • Develop or review feasibility-study, technical-assistance or pilot-project terms of reference, budgets and schedules.
  • Participate in sponsor, government, recycler, refiner, customer, laboratory or financing-source discussions.
  • Support international meetings, site visits and field verification when required.
  • Prepare concise findings and recommendations for senior government decision-makers.
  • Serve as a discipline lead, contributor, same-discipline alternate or independent technical or commercial reviewer.

Required Qualifications
Candidates should possess:
  • At least 7-10 years of directly relevant PGM, precious-metal, catalyst, recycling, smelting, refining or commercial experience.
  • A degree in economic geology, mining engineering, mineral processing, metallurgy, chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry or a closely related field.
  • Direct responsibility for identifiable PGM mines, concentrators, smelters, refineries, recycling facilities, catalyst programs or commercial supply chains.
  • Demonstrated ability to connect feed characterization, sampling, assay, recovery, metal accounting, product quality and economics.
  • Experience developing or independently reviewing test programs, mass balances, operating data, assay systems or commercial settlement arrangements.
  • Strong written and verbal English-language communication skills.
  • Ability to prepare concise, decision-oriented technical or commercial work.
  • Ability to collaborate across resource, processing, safety, environmental, market and financial disciplines.
  • Either U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent-resident status in the United States.
  • Legal authorization to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.
  • Willingness and ability to travel internationally when an assignment requires it.
  • No known employment, confidentiality, intellectual-property, noncompete, trading or conflict-of-interest restriction that would prevent participation.

Operating, commissioning, sampling, assay, metal-accountability and commercial-settlement experience is particularly valuable.
Application Information Requested
Please submit a résumé and a brief response identifying:
  1. The PGMs, primary resources, catalysts and secondary feeds with which you have direct experience.
  2. Your strongest specialties in geology, processing, refining, recycling, assay, metal accounting or markets.
  3. Up to five representative plants, projects, products or studies and your personal responsibilities on each.

Selection for an assignment will depend on contract award, material and project requirements, qualifications, availability, eligibility, conflicts, travel requirements, mutually acceptable compensation and execution of appropriate employment or consulting documentation.
Axyde may tailor and reformat selected résumés for proposal compliance without materially changing the candidate's qualifications or experience.
