Energy Project Estimator for AI Evaluation

Estimators apply their energy project cost estimation, construction planning, and solar design expertise to evaluate AI-generated content and produce expert-level training data. In this contract role you will review AI responses for technical accuracy and relevance, create or annotate examples based on real-world workflows and tools, and provide written feedback that helps AI better understand project development and cost estimation practices. This is a flexible, project-based engagement rather than a traditional full-time job.

• Use hands-on experience with energy project estimation, construction planning, and solar design to evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance.
• Create, annotate, or correct expert training data that reflects real project development workflows and cost-estimation practices.
• Provide clear, actionable written feedback that highlights errors, edge cases, and correct methods.
• Work independently and asynchronously with AI research teams to meet project requirements and quality standards.

• At least 2 years of professional experience in energy project estimation, pre-construction, or solar design.
• Relevant roles include Estimator, Project Engineer, Pre-construction Manager, Solar Design Engineer, or equivalent positions in the energy industry.
• Hands-on experience with one or more of the following tools: Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, Aurora Solar.
• Strong written communication skills, high attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and asynchronously with research teams.
• No prior AI experience required.

• Employment type: Part-time, hourly contract work.
• Location: Fully remote.
• Schedule: Flexible, asynchronous work with no minimum hour requirement.
• Typical engagement: Most contributors work approximately 5, 20 hours per week when participating in an active project.
• Project availability: Placement depends on current project needs, with the possibility to be considered for future projects as they become available.
• This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside other work.

• Up to $85/hr (depending on the project).

• Candidates must be able to engage as independent contractors and complete identity verification as part of onboarding.
• No specific work-authorization or visa sponsorship information is provided in this listing; ensure you are able to accept contract work under your local regulations before applying.

To apply, create an account and complete the required identity verification, indicate interest in relevant energy-estimation projects, complete any brief project onboarding, and then begin contributing to tasks and earning hourly pay.
