Uranium, Nuclear Materials and Radiological-Risk Specialists - Remote

Axyde Analytics

Oak Ridge, TN • On-site, Remote

$150 - $300/hr

Part-time

Posted 8 days ago

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 uranium resources, mining and recovery, nuclear-material supply chains, radioactive or naturally occurring radioactive material, radiological protection, waste management and related regulatory risks.
Potential assignments may involve conventional uranium mines, in-situ recovery, uranium or thorium associated with rare-earth and heavy-mineral projects, phosphate byproducts, mineral-processing residues, nuclear-grade zirconium or other radiologically significant materials.
Axyde does not expect one candidate to cover every technical and regulatory discipline. Applicants should identify the materials, facilities and radiological-risk areas in which they possess direct, demonstrable expertise.
Specialist Tracks
We are recruiting experts in one or more of the following tracks:
  • Uranium economic geology and deposit models
  • Resource estimation and reserve confidence
  • Open-pit and underground uranium mining
  • In-situ recovery and wellfield development
  • Acid and alkaline uranium leaching
  • Ion exchange, solvent extraction and yellowcake production
  • Uranium conversion and nuclear-fuel-cycle interfaces
  • Thorium, monazite and radioactive rare-earth feedstocks
  • NORM and technologically enhanced NORM
  • Radiation characterization and dose assessment
  • Worker protection, monitoring and contamination control
  • Radioactive-residue, tailings and water management
  • Transport, storage, safeguards and material accountability
  • Nuclear-grade zirconium, hafnium and related materials
  • Radiological licensing and regulatory strategy
  • Mine closure, remediation and long-term stewardship
  • Emergency planning and radiological incident response
  • Independent nuclear-material and radiological-risk review

Potential Responsibilities
Depending on the assignment and specialist track, selected experts may:
  • Evaluate uranium or radioactive-material resource quality, quantity and confidence.
  • Review geology, mineralogy, drilling, sampling, assays and radiometric data.
  • Assess conventional mining or in-situ-recovery alternatives.
  • Evaluate hydrogeology, lixiviant behavior, wellfield design, recovery and restoration requirements.
  • Review leaching, ion exchange, solvent extraction, precipitation and yellowcake production.
  • Assess uranium, thorium and radioactive-element deportment through processing circuits.
  • Evaluate radiation fields, contamination pathways, worker exposure and monitoring requirements.
  • Review tailings, residues, water, ventilation, containment and waste-management systems.
  • Assess transport, storage, security, safeguards and material-accountability requirements.
  • Evaluate applicable host-country licensing, regulatory and institutional capacity.
  • Review nuclear-grade material specifications and customer-qualification requirements where relevant.
  • Assess closure, remediation, groundwater restoration and long-term stewardship obligations.
  • Identify fatal flaws, decisive evidence gaps and additional studies required before advancement.
  • Translate radiological concerns into feasibility-study, technical-assistance or pilot-project tasks.
  • Contribute to capital-cost, operating-cost, schedule and implementation assumptions for required safeguards.
  • Evaluate whether proposed controls are practical in the host-country environment.
  • Participate in sponsor, government, laboratory, regulator, engineering or financing-source discussions.
  • Support international meetings, site visits and field verification when required.
  • Prepare concise radiological and nuclear-material findings for senior government decision-makers.
  • Serve as a discipline lead, contributor, same-discipline alternate or independent technical reviewer.

Required Qualifications
Candidates should possess:
  • At least 7-10 years of directly relevant uranium, nuclear-material, radiological-protection, NORM or radioactive-waste experience.
  • A degree in geology, mining engineering, nuclear engineering, health physics, radiological engineering, metallurgy, chemical engineering, hydrogeology or a closely related field.
  • Direct responsibility for identifiable uranium, nuclear-material, rare-earth, mineral-sands, phosphate, remediation or radiological-risk projects.
  • Demonstrated ability to connect resource or feed characteristics, process design, radiological exposure, waste management, regulation, cost and implementation risk.
  • Knowledge of recognized radiation-protection, nuclear-material or radioactive-waste practices applicable to the candidate's specialty.
  • Strong written and verbal English-language communication skills.
  • Ability to prepare concise, decision-oriented technical work.
  • Ability to collaborate across geology, processing, environmental, safety, regulatory, commercial 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, security, confidentiality, intellectual-property, noncompete, export-control or conflict-of-interest restriction that would prevent participation.

Certified Health Physicist, Professional Engineer, Qualified Person or comparable credentials are advantageous but not mandatory when supported by substantial relevant experience.
Application Information Requested
Please submit a résumé and a brief response identifying:
  1. Your strongest uranium, nuclear-material or radiological-risk specialties.
  2. The deposits, materials, processes and facility types with which you have direct experience.
  3. Up to five representative projects, facilities, licensing efforts or studies and your personal responsibilities on each.
  4. Your experience with mining, in-situ recovery, processing, NORM, waste management, remediation or nuclear-grade materials.
  5. The radiological, nuclear or regulatory analyses you are qualified to lead or review.
  6. Countries and regions in which you have worked.
  7. Whether you can serve as a discipline lead, independent reviewer, or both.
  8. Your current U.S. location.
  9. Whether you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
  10. Your availability during the next 30 days.
  11. Your ability to travel internationally and any geographic restrictions.
  12. Your anticipated hourly rate.
  13. Any security-clearance, export-control, proprietary-information, employment or organizational-conflict restrictions relevant to potential assignments.

Engagement Conditions
This is a contingent opportunity supporting anticipated government-funded assignments. No employment, contract award, minimum workload or particular assignment is guaranteed.
Selection for an assignment will depend on contract award, material and project requirements, qualifications, availability, eligibility, conflicts, travel requirements, security and export-control considerations, 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.
