Geothermal Surface Plant, Grid & Commercialization Specialist (RAET) — 77002
Work arrangement: Remote / U.S.-based; job-board anchor: Houston, TX 77002
Opportunity: Contingent specialist role supporting Axyde's proposal for USTDA 1131PL26R0056
Mobilization: Potential Regional Asia travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written notice following award
Role purpose
Integrate geothermal surface facilities, plant technology, gathering systems, grid/offtake, operations and commercialization into an executable development concept.
Representative problems this role must solve
- The resource may be viable, but the proposed plant technology, steam/brine gathering system, cooling, water, interconnection or O&M concept is not.
- Plant scale and availability assumptions do not align with reservoir evidence, tariff, offtake or grid constraints.
- The sponsor needs a phased concept and TOR that joins technical design, procurement, construction, operations and commercial decisions.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate flash, binary, combined or direct-use concepts; surface gathering, reinjection, cooling, water, emissions, corrosion/scaling and balance-of-plant requirements.
- Assess grid interconnection, dispatch, curtailment, tariff/offtake, availability, auxiliary load, O&M and lifecycle-cost assumptions.
- Define development alternatives, stage gates, CAPEX/OPEX/schedule inputs, supplier needs, performance tests and acceptance criteria.
- Integrate surface-plant findings with resource, drilling, finance, safeguards and implementation analyses.
Minimum evidence-based qualifications
- Direct geothermal power-plant, surface-facility, EPC, owner-engineering, commissioning, operations, grid-integration or commercialization experience.
- Evidence of personally developing or reviewing geothermal feasibility, basis-of-design, performance, procurement, cost or investment products.
- Experience in emerging markets, island grids or constrained infrastructure is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated senior/expert judgment, normally supported by at least 10 years of directly relevant work and specific project or decision-product evidence.
- Ability to separate verified facts, assumptions, professional judgments, uncertainties and recommendations in concise written English.
- U.S. citizen or non-U.S. citizen lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States; written attestation is required before proposal inclusion.
- Ability to become available for potential Regional Asia 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 and country/customer limitations.
Evidence to submit
- Current resume 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 that substantiate the specific expertise claimed; identify what you personally did rather than the team's general scope.
- Countries/regions worked, languages used professionally, current location, travel limitations and relevant licenses, registrations, certifications, standards or publications.
- Written permission for Axyde to use and evidence-preservingly reformat the resume for solicitation 1131PL26R0056, subject to final resume review if requested.
Application questions
- Are you a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident? State one; do not upload identity documents at the application stage.
- May Axyde use your name and evidence-preservingly tailor/reformat your resume for this specific contingent proposal?
- Could you become available for required Regional Asia 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 a geothermal project where plant or grid evidence changed capacity, technology, commercial structure or implementation sequence.
- Identify the plant technologies, surface systems and project stages you have directly supported.
- Which modules can you lead: plant concept, gathering/reinjection, grid, offtake, O&M, CAPEX/OPEX, schedule, procurement or independent review?
