The role, as Handshake AI describes it

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 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

Read the rest of the description (35 more paragraphs)

• 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

• Based in the United States

• 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
