Mobilization: Potential Regional Asia travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written notice following award

Role purpose

Evaluate distribution-modernization opportunities from loss reduction and reliability through AMI, DER integration, automation, communications and implementation readiness.

Representative problems this role must solve

• A utility proposes AMI or automation without a validated operational use case, communications architecture, data-governance plan or benefit baseline.
• High losses, outages or DER growth require coordinated feeder studies, protection, voltage, hosting-capacity and control-system work.
• The Government needs a right-sized TA or feasibility scope that connects technology procurement to utility processes, cybersecurity, workforce and measurable outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Assess distribution planning, reliability, technical/nontechnical losses, feeder automation, ADMS/SCADA, AMI, DER integration and communications needs.
• Define baseline data, pilot design, system interfaces, cybersecurity requirements, implementation stages and benefit-verification criteria.
• Develop or review TOR tasks, budgets, schedules, procurement packages, training and organizational-change requirements.
• Integrate utility operations, tariff/regulatory, customer, vendor and finance considerations.

Minimum evidence-based qualifications

• Direct electric-distribution planning, AMI, grid automation, ADMS/SCADA, DER integration, utility operations or loss-reduction experience.
• Evidence of personally leading or reviewing utility modernization roadmaps, pilots, procurements, system integrations or benefit assessments.
• Emerging-market utility, cybersecurity or telecom/communications experience 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 distribution-modernization program where you changed the technology, scope, sequence or benefit case.
• Identify the utility systems, communications protocols, vendors or platforms with which you have direct implementation experience.
• Which modules can you lead: planning, reliability/losses, AMI, automation, ADMS/SCADA, DER, communications, cybersecurity or independent review?
