South Asia Energy & Critical-Minerals Institutional Specialist (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

Provide current, country-specific institutional, policy, sponsor, stakeholder and implementation judgment for energy and critical-minerals opportunities in South Asia.

Representative problems this role must solve

  • A project spans central, state/provincial and utility authorities with different approval, land, tariff and implementation responsibilities.
  • Sponsor readiness and official plans are not aligned with procurement, utility finance, permitting, community or infrastructure realities.
  • The Government needs a scoping approach that distinguishes transferable regional lessons from country-specific evidence.

Responsibilities

  • Map country institutions, policies, approval pathways, sponsor capacity, utilities, state-owned enterprises, finance sources and stakeholder interests.
  • Assess implementation constraints involving land, community, federal/subnational authority, procurement, local content, trade, security and infrastructure.
  • Validate evidence and identify material gaps, conflicting sources, decision triggers and practical field-engagement requirements.
  • Support country-specific TOR tasks, stakeholder plans, schedules, U.S. supplier pathways and risk controls.

Minimum evidence-based qualifications

  • Sustained professional experience in one or more South Asian countries with direct energy, mining, infrastructure, Government, utility, investment or project-development relevance.
  • Evidence of personally advising decisions, conducting stakeholder engagement or producing institutional/policy assessments.
  • Professional proficiency in relevant regional languages is strongly preferred; state actual level and professional use.
  • 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.
  • Identify the South Asian countries, institutions, sectors and decision-makers with which you have direct professional experience.
  • Describe a project where national/subnational or utility realities changed the recommended scope, sequence or risk treatment.
  • State relevant languages, current networks, travel readiness and any country/customer restrictions.
