Role Overview

  • our partner is seeking senior civil engineering professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in large-scale infrastructure and construction contexts.

  • The workflows are calibrated to the design complexity, public safety stakes, and regulatory scope of major infrastructure projects and large public/private construction programs.

  • This role builds worlds on two standards tracks: an International track (Eurocodes and ISO) and a US track (ASCE, ACI, AISC, AASHTO). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.

  • Contributors design civil engineering scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior civil engineering leaders think.

Key Responsibilities

  • Construct civil engineering scenarios spanning large-scale infrastructure design cycles, multi-stakeholder permitting and regulatory review, and complex construction management or public works processes.

  • Build tasks across structural design and analysis, transportation and highway engineering, water resources and environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, and construction project management.

  • Develop engineering scenarios involving tools such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, STAAD.Pro/ETABS, HEC-RAS, and enterprise project management platforms used on major infrastructure programs.

  • Apply civil engineering methodologies (structural load analysis, geotechnical site assessment, hydrology/hydraulic modeling) to the standards track a world targets (US: ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360, AASHTO LRFD; International: Eurocodes EN 1990-1998 and ISO), and produce reference design plans, engineering calculations, and stakeholder/regulatory-facing technical narratives.

  • Author rubrics that distinguish authentic civil engineering judgment from generic textbook or coursework-level recall.

Ideal Qualifications

  • 5+ years working as a civil engineer or engineering lead

  • Direct ownership of large-scale infrastructure designs, permitting processes, or construction project delivery.

  • Fluency in civil engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how regulatory approvals, environmental review (NEPA or an international equivalent), and public agency oversight actually work.

  • A recognized professional engineering credential is strongly preferred (US PE, or an international equivalent such as CEng, EUR ING, or P.Eng); prior rubric, engineering-training curriculum, or design documentation authorship is a plus.

Location: United States.
