This is not a traditional engineering role—you’ll draw on your hands-on industry experience in civil or structural engineering to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing engineer. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that you can take on alongside your current role. What You’ll Do Create expert-level civil and structural engineering problems and scenarios grounded in real design, modeling, estimating, construction, and project workflows Review AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with industry standards and engineering practice Evaluate calculations, assumptions, models, quantities, estimates, and design recommendations for technical soundness and real-world applicability Assess AI-generated technical work involving structural design, code compliance, fabrication-accurate modeling, quantity takeoffs, estimating, and applied engineering analysis Provide clear, structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance Complete tasks at your own pace, with no set schedule or minimum-hour requirement Project Details Work remotely and asynchronously from wherever you are. Set your own schedule with no minimum time requirement. Project placement depends on current availability. If this opportunity is full, additional projects will become available soon. Qualifications Ideal candidates meet all four of the following: Recent experience — Currently working as a civil or structural engineer, or have worked in the field within the past three years Degree — BS, MS, or PhD in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related field Hands-on ownership — Experience personally producing models, calculations, quantities, estimates, or other technical deliverables that others rely on to build, price, review, or approve work Technical depth — Demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas: Code-based structural design and analysis Fabrication-accurate modeling and detailing Quantity takeoff and estimating Applied simulation Construction documentation and technical deliverables Building, infrastructure, or structural project design Additional Qualifications These are not required but will strengthen your application: Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification Experience applying relevant building codes, structural standards, and engineering specifications Proficiency with engineering and modeling tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Tekla Structures, SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD.Pro, RAM Structural System, RISA, or comparable software Experience with structural materials and systems including steel, reinforced concrete, timber, masonry, foundations, or specialty structures Experience with construction estimating, quantity surveying, cost modeling, or takeoff software Experience with BIM workflows, construction documentation, detailing, or multidisciplinary coordination Experience at an engineering consultancy, architecture/engineering firm, contractor, EPC firm, construction company, infrastructure organization, or other employer where engineers directly own technical project deliverables Required for All Applicants Have Canadian work authorization Strong written communication and attention to detail Ability to explain complex civil and structural engineering concepts clearly Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment Work authorization information F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible for projects on Handshake AI.
