About the role
Civil Engineering AI Evaluation Specialist
Your profile:
4+ years of professional civil engineering experience, with significant hands-on work in infrastructure design, structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, water resources, environmental engineering, construction management, or a closely related civil engineering specialty. Deep knowledge of civil engineering fundamentals, including statics, mechanics of materials, soil mechanics, hydraulics, materials behavior, load paths, construction methods, and infrastructure systems. Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline required; Master's degree, PhD, PE licensure, or equivalent advanced professional credentials strongly preferred. Previous experience with AI data training, annotation, or evaluating AI-generated technical content is a strong plus.
Key responsibilities:
Evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, logical soundness, completeness, and clarity across civil engineering topics.
Challenge advanced language models with realistic civil engineering scenarios, calculations, design questions, and code-informed reasoning tasks.
Review and refine AI-generated prompts, model responses, explanations, and step-by-step engineering solutions.
Provide structured feedback that identifies factual errors, flawed assumptions, missing constraints, unsafe recommendations, or incomplete reasoning.
Assess model performance on topics such as structural loads, soil behavior, slope stability, drainage design, pavement systems, reinforced concrete, steel design, and construction sequencing.
Help shape AI communication standards for technical civil engineering content, including how models explain assumptions, limitations, calculations, and professional judgment.
Ensure AI-generated content reflects sound engineering principles, appropriate safety considerations, and responsible technical communication.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
