Environmental Engineering – AI Data Trainer

About The Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI — and we need environmental engineers to help get it right. As an AI Data Trainer, you'll stress-test advanced language models on complex environmental engineering problems, expose their weaknesses, and help shape how AI reasons through real-world technical challenges. This is a rare opportunity to apply your deep domain expertise in a high-impact, forward-looking role — without leaving your home office.
• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
•

Location:
Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do
• Design Complex Problems — Craft advanced environmental engineering challenges spanning contaminant transport, wastewater treatment mass balances, hydrology, air quality modeling, and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions — including chemical dosage calculations, hydraulic flow models, and pollutant dispersion simulations — that serve as definitive reference answers
• Audit AI Outputs — Critically evaluate AI-generated remediation plans, environmental impact statements, and regulatory compliance analyses for technical accuracy and adherence to standards such as EPA regulations and ISO 14001
• Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical flaws in model responses (e.g., incorrect stoichiometry, overlooked secondary impacts) and provide structured,



expert feedback that directly improves how AI thinks through environmental problems Who You Are
• Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering (environmental focus), or a closely related discipline
• Robust foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: 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 with unit conversions, chemical equations, and regulatory compliance logic
• No prior AI experience required — your engineering expertise is what matters Nice to Have
• Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
• Familiarity with environmental modeling software (e.g., AERMOD, SWMM, or similar tools)
• Background in EHS compliance or environmental consulting Why Join Us
• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs and AI teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, 10–40 hours per week
• Gain hands-on exposure to how large language models (LLMs) are trained and evaluated
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global network of experts
• Meaningful work — your contributions directly improve how AI handles real-world environmental challenges
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
