Axyde is building a senior expert bench for anticipated U.S. government-funded project-scoping assignments involving oil and natural-gas production and processing; pipelines, storage, terminals, LNG and regasification; hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives; geothermal energy; biofuels; carbon-management interfaces; and related industrial and utility infrastructure across the Indo-Pacific and other global markets.

The selected specialist will help Axyde determine whether proposed projects have a credible technical basis, realistic resource or feedstock assumptions, an implementable development pathway, commercially reasonable assumptions, and an appropriately designed next-stage feasibility study, technical-assistance assignment, pilot, pre-FEED, or FEED effort. Assignments may begin with incomplete data and require rapid, independent, and defensible conclusions.

Axyde welcomes specialists with deep expertise in one or more listed subsectors. Applicants are not expected to be equally expert in oil and gas, LNG, hydrogen, geothermal, biofuels, and carbon management.

• Evaluate project concepts, technology selections, capacity assumptions, resource or feedstock availability, product specifications, infrastructure requirements, and development maturity.
• Review upstream, gathering, gas-processing, fractionation, compression, pipeline, storage, terminal, liquefaction, regasification, distribution, and industrial-offtake configurations, as applicable.
• Evaluate LNG supply chains, shipping and terminal interfaces, send-out requirements, storage, boil-off management, demand assumptions, and gas-to-power or industrial-use cases.
• Assess hydrogen production pathways, electrolyzers, reforming, carbon-capture interfaces, compression, storage, transport, ammonia or other derivatives, offtake, and required power and water inputs.
• Assess geothermal resource characterization, exploration, drilling, reservoir engineering, production and injection systems, surface facilities, power conversion, direct-use applications, and resource-management requirements.
• Evaluate biofuel, renewable-gas, hybrid-energy, waste-to-energy, or carbon-management concepts where relevant to the assignment.
• Identify process-safety, integrity-management, methane, emissions, water, land, environmental, social, permitting, security, market, logistics, and implementation dependencies.
• Evaluate interfaces with electricity, water, ports, roads, industrial users, petrochemical facilities, carbon transport or storage systems, and other enabling infrastructure.
• Develop or independently review preliminary production, throughput, efficiency, availability, CAPEX, OPEX, schedule, supply, demand, tariff, and revenue assumptions at a level appropriate to the available information.
• Develop or review technical tasks, required qualifications, deliverables, schedules, and budgets for feasibility studies, technical assistance, pilots, specialized studies, pre-FEED, or FEED.
• Compare technical and commercial alternatives and identify material data gaps, testing or survey needs, decision criteria, risk mitigations, and stage-gate recommendations.
• Assess potential participation by U.S. equipment, technology, software, and service providers and relevant international competition.
• Participate in sponsor interviews, technical-diligence calls, and occasional site visits involving project sponsors, host-country stakeholders, regulators, utilities, financiers, prospective offtakers, and U.S. suppliers.
• Contribute to concept consultations, initial assessments, project reports, presentations, and energy-sector deep dives.
• Clearly distinguish source data, professional judgments, assumptions, limitations, and matters requiring validation by an appropriately licensed engineer, geoscientist, reservoir specialist, safety professional, or other authority.

• Degree in petroleum, chemical, mechanical, civil, geothermal, or energy engineering; geoscience; or a closely related discipline.
• At least 10 years of directly relevant project-development, engineering, operating, resource-development, infrastructure, or consulting experience in one or more listed subsectors.
• Demonstrated experience evaluating, planning, designing, developing, operating, or independently reviewing early-stage or operating energy-infrastructure projects.
• Experience translating technical and commercial findings into practical development plans, scopes of work, schedules, budgets, decision criteria, and risk-mitigation measures.
• Ability to integrate engineering, resource, feedstock, safety, regulatory, environmental, market, commercial, and implementation considerations without overstating the accuracy of early-stage information.
• Strong analytical writing skills and the ability to work under compressed schedules.
• Contract-required status: The individual performing the work must be either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident of the United States (green-card holder). Other forms of U.S. work authorization do not satisfy the stated requirements of the anticipated contracts. A consultant engaged directly as an individual must maintain a principal place of business in the United States. A consultant proposed through a firm must be employed or engaged through an entity that independently satisfies the solicitation’s U.S.-firm requirements.

• Professional Engineer, Professional Geologist, or another directly relevant professional credential.
• Experience preparing or independently reviewing feasibility studies, resource assessments, specialized technical studies, pre-FEED or FEED packages, or pilot programs.
• Experience with process safety, HAZID/HAZOP, quantitative risk assessment, pipeline or facility integrity, reliability, operability, or commissioning.
• Familiarity with lifecycle emissions, methane management, carbon intensity, carbon capture and storage, water intensity, or other environmental-performance considerations.
• Familiarity with lender or investor technical due diligence and the engineering and commercial inputs required for project economic and financial analysis.
• Experience evaluating U.S.-supplied equipment, software, services, or technologies for international energy projects.
• Emerging-market or Indo-Pacific experience and familiarity with international project sponsors, host-country governments, U.S. government agencies, export-credit agencies, multilateral development banks, or development-finance institutions.

This is a contingent consulting opportunity, not an offer of full-time employment. No award, assignment, minimum number of hours, or minimum compensation is guaranteed. Engagement depends on contract award, assignment fit, eligibility, conflicts, availability, successful completion of Axyde’s due diligence, and agreement on scope and pricing. The stated fee range is an anticipated range; the final rate or fixed price will depend on experience, role, work-package requirements, and applicable cost-reasonableness requirements.

Some assignments may require rapid turnaround, irregular coordination across time zones, or international travel. Travel requirements, approvals, insurance, and reimbursable costs will be addressed in the applicable consulting agreement or work order.

Participation in a U.S. Trade and Development Agency project-scoping assignment may make the participating consultant or subcontracting entity ineligible to compete—whether as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or otherwise—for certain USTDA-funded follow-on activities resulting from that assignment, unless USTDA grants a waiver. Axyde will disclose the applicable restriction and obtain written acceptance before issuing a work order.

Selected specialists may be asked for written permission to include their name, qualifications, and resume in a proposal. Applying does not by itself authorize Axyde to represent that an applicant has committed to a proposal or assignment.

Work performed under an awarded contract will be subject to applicable confidentiality, data-rights, information-security, professional-responsibility, and conflict-of-interest requirements. Any background intellectual property, proprietary models, datasets, or licensed software should be identified before an assignment begins.

Apply through Axyde’s online application form using the heading SEA/GLOBAL – Oil, Gas, LNG, Hydrogen and Geothermal Infrastructure Specialist. Please provide:

• A resume or CV of no more than three pages.
• Two or three concise, directly relevant project examples identifying your role, jurisdiction, subsector, facility or resource type, capacity where disclosable, project stage, principal questions, and the resulting work product or decision.
• Your principal specialty or specialties: oil and gas, gas processing, pipelines, LNG, hydrogen, geothermal, biofuels, carbon management, or another clearly identified area.
• Your U.S. location, travel availability, availability during the anticipated performance period, and proposed hourly rate or fixed-price basis.
• A self-attestation that you are either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident and, if you would contract directly as an individual, that your principal place of business is in the United States. Applicants proposing engagement through a firm should identify the firm and confirm that it meets the applicable solicitation definition of a U.S. firm.
• Any relevant professional licenses, safety qualifications, or sector-specific credentials.
• Any known organizational conflicts, current client restrictions, or planned pursuits of potentially related USTDA-funded work.

Do not submit a passport, green card, Social Security number, or other identity document with the initial application. Do not include classified, export-controlled, critical-energy-infrastructure information, proprietary, source-selection-sensitive, or client-confidential information in project examples; anonymized descriptions are acceptable. Axyde will request only the documentation needed at the appropriate stage of selection and engagement.

Axyde considers qualified applicants without regard to any status protected by applicable law. The citizenship or permanent-residence limitation above applies solely to work covered by the stated U.S. government contract requirements.
