Civil Engineer (Canada)

About this 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 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 - 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 techni
