About the role
Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced civil and structural engineers to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job—you’ll draw on your hands-on industry experience to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing engineer.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.
What You’ll Do
- Create expert-level engineering problems grounded in real design, modeling, estimating, and project work
- Review AI-generated responses for technical accuracy and practical feasibility
- Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
- Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement
Qualifications
- 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 related field
- Hands-on ownership — Experience personally producing models, calculations, quantities, or estimates that others use to build, price, or approve work
- Technical depth — Experience in fabrication-accurate modeling, code-based structural design, takeoff and estimating, or applied simulation
- Seniority matters less than directly owning the technical outputs you produce. PE or EIT credentials are preferred but not required.
- Based in Canada.
