Environmental Engineering AI Data Trainer

Environmental Engineering AI Data Trainer at Alignerr

At Alignerr, we partner with the world’s leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like water and wastewater treatment, air quality management, EHS and compliance, and solid and hazardous waste management — documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

Organization: Alignerr

Position: Environmental Engineering AI Data Trainer

Type: Hourly Contract

Compensation: $35–$60 /hour

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Develop Complex Problems: Design advanced environmental engineering problems across domains like contaminant transport, mass balance in treatment plants, hydrology, and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA).
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions: Create rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions, including chemical dosage calculations, hydraulic flow models, and pollutant dispersion simulations that serve as "golden responses."
• Technical Auditing: Evaluate AI-generated remediation plans, environmental impact statements, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy, safety, and adherence to regulatory standards (e.g., EPA, ISO 14001).
• Refine Reasoning: Identify logical fallacies in AI reasoning—such as incorrect stoichiometry in biological processes or failure to account for secondary environmental impacts—and provide structured feedback to improve the model's "thinking" process.

Requirements

• Advanced Degree: Masters (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering (with an environmental focus), or a closely related field.
• Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in core areas such as aquatic chemistry, wastewater process design, air quality engineering, or hazardous waste remediation.
• Analytical Writing: The ability to communicate complex ecological and engineering concepts clearly and concisely in written form.
• Attention to Detail: High level of precision when checking unit conversions (e.g., mg/L to ppm), chemical equations, and regulatory compliance logic.
• No AI experience required

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems
• Familiarity with environmental modeling software
