USTDA Feasibility-Study / Technical-Assistance Scope & TOR Architect (RAET) — 20005

  • Washington, DC

Work arrangement: Remote / U.S.-based; job-board anchor: Washington, DC 20005
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

Convert an investment or institutional decision into a complete, non-duplicative and procurable feasibility-study or technical-assistance terms of reference.

Representative problems this role must solve

  • A promising opportunity has not been framed into the decision, evidence, tasks, interfaces and acceptance criteria a future study must satisfy.
  • Technical, commercial, financial, safeguards, U.S. export and implementation tasks overlap or leave material gaps.
  • The TOR is activity-based but not decision-based, making scope control, pricing, evaluation and acceptance difficult.

Responsibilities

  • Frame the Government/sponsor decision, intended users, baseline evidence, material uncertainties and study boundaries.
  • Decompose the work into integrated tasks with inputs, methods, outputs, dependencies, owner disciplines, acceptance criteria and comment/release steps.
  • Draft TOR language, deliverable definitions, schedules, staffing assumptions, Government/sponsor responsibilities and data needs.
  • Reconcile technical scope with BOE, travel, ODCs, risk, procurement practicality and U.S. supplier opportunity.

Minimum evidence-based qualifications

  • Direct experience designing, drafting, pricing, procuring, executing or independently reviewing international feasibility-study or technical-assistance TORs.
  • Evidence of personally translating ambiguous project concepts into integrated work plans, deliverables and acceptance criteria.
  • USTDA, development-finance, multilateral, owner-engineer, engineering-consulting or comparable project-preparation 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 the strongest FS/TA TOR you personally architected and how its structure supported a Government, sponsor or investment decision.
  • Identify the sectors, regions, clients and procurement environments in which your TORs were used.
  • Provide one example of a scope gap or overlap you found and corrected before procurement or execution.
