Construction Engineer – AI Model Training

If you’re a senior construction engineering professional who thrives on precision, constructability, field judgment, technical documentation, and practical problem-solving, this is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to how the next generation of AI systems understand construction work. You’ll challenge and evaluate advanced language models on construction engineering topics to strengthen model reasoning and improve technical accuracy. Your expertise as a Construction Engineer will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models and will play an important role in shaping the future of AI.

### Your Profile
- 3+ years of professional experience in construction engineering, field engineering, project engineering, construction management, or a closely related role.
- Significant hands-on experience with construction project execution, field coordination, RFIs, submittals, change orders, site documentation, estimates, schedules, and constructability reviews.
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, Structural Engineering, or a related technical field; equivalent senior-level professional experience may also be considered.
- Professional certifications such as PE, CCM, PMP, LEED AP, OSHA 30, or related construction credentials are welcome but not required.
- Previous experience with AI data training, annotation, or evaluating AI-generated technical content is a strong plus.

### Key Responsibilities
- Evaluate AI-generated construction engineering content for technical accuracy, practicality, completeness, and alignment with real-world field conditions.
- Challenge advanced language models with job-specific construction engineering scenarios involving constructability, sequencing, cost, schedule, safety, quality, and documentation.
- Review and refine AI-generated prompts, answers, explanations, calculations, and technical recommendations related to construction engineering workflows.
- Identify errors, omissions, unsafe assumptions, unclear reasoning, or unrealistic recommendations in AI model responses.
- Provide structured, actionable feedback that helps improve how AI systems reason through construction problems.
- Shape AI communication standards so model outputs are clear, practical, technically grounded, and appropriate for construction professionals.
- Support evaluation efforts by comparing model responses against expected expert reasoning, accepted construction practices, and applicable codes or standards.
