Environmental Engineering – AI Data Trainer About The Role We're looking for environmental engineering experts to help train and improve advanced AI models on technically demanding topics. Your domain knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through real-world environmental challenges — from contaminant transport to regulatory compliance. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role working with Alignerr, a company that partners with the world's leading AI research teams and labs.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Design Complex Engineering Problems — Develop advanced, multi-step problems spanning contaminant transport, mass balance in treatment plants, hydrology, Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), and more

Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions — including chemical dosage calculations, hydraulic flow models, and pollutant dispersion simulations — that serve as benchmark responses for AI training

Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated remediation plans, environmental impact statements, and mathematical derivations for technical accuracy, safety, and regulatory compliance (EPA, ISO 14001, etc.)





Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect stoichiometry in biological treatment processes or failure to account for secondary environmental impacts — and provide structured feedback to improve model thinking Who You Are Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering (environmental focus), or a closely related field

Strong foundational knowledge in one or more of: aquatic chemistry, wastewater process design, air quality engineering, or hazardous waste remediation

Able to communicate complex engineering concepts clearly and precisely in written form

Meticulous with unit conversions, chemical equations, and regulatory compliance logic

Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously

No prior AI experience required Nice to Have Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems

Familiarity with environmental modeling software (e.g., AERMOD, SWMM, WASP)

Background in EHS compliance or environmental consulting Why Join Us Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top AI research labs

Fully remote and versatile — work on your schedule, as much or as little as you want

Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration

Gain rare insight into how large language models are trained and evaluated

Meaningful work that advances how AI handles critical environmental and scientific topics

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
