Mining Environmental, Social, Biodiversity and Resilience Specialists

We seek environmental, social, biodiversity and resilience specialists to evaluate mining, mineral-processing, refining, recycling and associated-infrastructure projects in emerging and international markets. The role involves evaluating early-stage risk, field verification, environmental and social scoping, permitting analysis, climate and geophysical resilience assessment, and development of feasibility-study and technical-assistance requirements.

What You Will Do

Depending on the assignment and specialist track, selected experts may identify material environmental, social, biodiversity and resilience risks, review baseline data, permits, assessments, management plans and sponsor records, and assess critical habitat, protected areas, ecosystem services and biodiversity constraints.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Applicants should identify the technical areas, project types and geographic environments in which they possess direct, demonstrable expertise. Axyde does not expect one candidate to cover every environmental and social discipline.

Requirements

• At least 7–10 years of directly relevant environmental, social, biodiversity, resilience or international-permitting experience.
• A degree in environmental science, environmental engineering, ecology, biology, hydrology, geology, social science, anthropology, geography, planning or a closely related field.
• Direct responsibility for identifiable mining, mineral-processing, industrial, infrastructure or remediation projects.
• Demonstrated ability to distinguish screening-level risks from issues requiring detailed field studies, design or mitigation.
• Experience developing or independently reviewing environmental and social assessments, management plans, permit strategies or lender-diligence materials.
• Strong written and verbal English-language communication skills.
• Ability to prepare concise, decision-oriented technical work.
• Ability to collaborate across mining, processing, infrastructure, regulatory, commercial and financial disciplines.
• Either U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent-resident status in the United States.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.
• Willingness and ability to travel internationally when an assignment requires it.
• No known employment, confidentiality, intellectual-property, noncompete or conflict-of-interest restriction that would prevent participation.
