Alignerr Corp.; New Zealand; Remote; NZD 83,000 - 152,000; Part time

Job summary

Alignerr Corp. is seeking an Environmental Engineering — AI Data Trainer for remote, hourly engagement. You'll design complex environmental problems and author ground-truth solutions to test AI models, with 10–40 hours per week.

You'll review AI outputs for regulatory compliance (EPA, ISO 14001) and help refine model reasoning. Masters/PhD in environmental engineering or related field preferred; independent, meticulous and comfortable with written technical communication.

Qualifications

• Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering (environmental focus), or a closely related discipline.
• Strong foundational knowledge in one or more of: aquatic chemistry, wastewater process design, air quality engineering, or hazardous waste remediation.
• Able to communicate complex technical and ecological concepts clearly and precisely in writing.
• Meticulous about unit conversions (mg/L to ppm), chemical equations, and regulatory logic.
• Self-directed and comfortable working on independent, task-based assignments.
• No prior AI experience required.

Responsibilities

• Design Complex Problems — Create advanced environmental engineering challenges spanning contaminant transport, mass balances in treatment plants, hydrology, air dispersion modeling, and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop rigorous, step-by-step reference solutions including chemical dosage calculations, hydraulic flow models, and pollutant dispersion simulations that serve as the benchmark for AI evaluation
• Audit AI Outputs — Review AI-generated remediation plans, environmental impact statements, and engineering calculations for technical accuracy, safety, and regulatory compliance (EPA, ISO 14001, and others)
• Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify and document model failures such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed mass balance logic, or failure to account for secondary environmental impacts, then provide structured feedback to correct them
• Work Independently — Take ownership of tasks and complete them asynchronously on a schedule that works for you
