Role purpose

Lead technical-economic-financial evaluation and bankability analysis across energy and critical-minerals opportunities, integrating project fundamentals, sponsor capacity, financing mechanisms, U.S. export potential, sensitivities, and implementation conditions.

Representative problems this role must solve

• A technically plausible project lacks defensible CAPEX/OPEX, revenue, market, schedule, risk allocation, sponsor capacity, or financing structure.
• Sponsor economics are optimistic, incomplete, internally inconsistent, or unsupported by source evidence.
• Government needs to know what technical assistance, feasibility work, structuring, de-risking, or evidence is necessary for credible financing.

Responsibilities

• Build or review assumptions, CAPEX/OPEX, lifecycle cost, revenue/off-take, cash flow, IRR/NPV/ROI, sensitivity, scenario, financing, risk-allocation, and sponsor-capacity analyses.
• Reconcile technical, market, schedule, environmental/social, regulatory, procurement, and financing assumptions across modules.
• Identify financing mechanisms and conditions appropriate to project stage, sponsor, country, currency, risk, and U.S. export pathway.
• Translate financeability gaps into TOR tasks, model requirements, diligence needs, milestones, budget inputs, and decision conditions.
• Serve as independent model reviewer where not the content owner.

Minimum evidence-based qualifications

• Senior infrastructure, project-finance, development-finance, investment, transaction advisory, economic modeling, lender, sponsor, or owner experience.
• Direct evidence building or reviewing project models and investment/bankability decisions—not only corporate accounting or FP&A.
• Energy, mining/minerals, processing, infrastructure, or emerging-market experience.
• Ability to explain assumptions, sensitivities, uncertainty, model limitations, and financing pathways to non-financial decision-makers.
• U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, with written attestation required before proposal inclusion.
• Demonstrated senior/expert judgment supported by specific project, analysis, decision-product, or implementation evidence—not keyword familiarity alone.
• Ability to produce concise, defensible written analysis in English and work across technical, commercial, financial, safeguards, institutional, and implementation interfaces.
• Ability to become available for potential Indo-Pacific travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written mobilization notice following contract award, subject to assignment needs and Government direction.
• Willingness to disclose availability, employment/contract restrictions, confidentiality obligations, conflicts, noncompetes, country/customer limitations, and relevant intellectual-property constraints.

Evidence to submit

• Current résumé or CV with dates, employer/client, country, project stage, personal role, methods used, decision product, and outcome for the most relevant assignments.
• Two to four representative projects demonstrating the required expert judgment and decision-grade products.
• Countries/regions worked, languages used professionally, travel limitations, and current location.
• Licenses, registrations, clearances, certifications, publications, or standards experience when relevant to the role.
• Written permission for Axyde to use and evidence-preservingly reformat the résumé for solicitation 1131PL26R0056, subject to final résumé review if requested.

Application questions

• Could you become available for required Indo-Pacific travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written mobilization notice following contract award? Identify restrictions.
• Identify current employment, contractual, confidentiality, noncompete, customer, country, or conflict restrictions relevant to this opportunity.
• Describe the strongest decision product you personally led or independently reviewed and the decision it supported.

• Identify financing mechanisms you have evaluated or implemented and the project stages/countries where they were relevant.
• Provide an example where you challenged sponsor assumptions or reconciled a technical-financial inconsistency.
