Mercor; United States; Remote; USD 91,000 - 129,000; Part time

Job summary

Mercor is seeking senior civil engineering professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems in large-scale infrastructure and construction contexts. Work spans US and International standards such as ASCE/ACI/AISC/AASHTO and ISO/Eurocodes.

Responsibilities include drafting reference outputs, rubrics, and engineering calculations across structural design, transportation, water resources, and geotechnical domains using tools like AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, STAAD.Pro/ETABS, and HEC-RAS.

Qualifications

• 5+ years as civil engineer or lead
• Direct ownership of large-scale infrastructure designs or delivery
• Familiarity with regulatory approvals and NEPA or international equivalents
• Professional engineering credential strongly preferred (US PE or international equivalent)

Responsibilities

• Construct civil engineering scenarios for large-scale infrastructure design cycles
• Build tasks across structural design, transportation, water resources, geotechnical engineering, and construction management
• Develop scenarios involving tools and enterprise project management platforms used on major programs
• Apply standards (US ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360, AASHTO LRFD; International Eurocodes/ISO) to reference designs and calculations
• Author rubrics distinguishing expert civil engineering judgment from rote knowledge

Job description

Pay: $80/hour
Commitment: Hourly, ~40 h/week

Role Overview

• Mercor 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.
