Overview
Handshake AI hires energy industry professionals for project-based AI research. You use your work in energy project estimation, pre-construction, or solar design to build expert training data and review AI-generated answers. The project calls for hands-on knowledge of tools such as Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, or Aurora Solar. Work happens remote with an asynchronous schedule, no minimum hours, and most contributors log 5 to 20 hours per week during active projects. No prior AI experience required.
What You'll Do6
- Review AI-generated content for accuracy, relevance, and alignment with energy project estimation, pre-construction, and solar design practices.
- Create expert-level training examples that show how energy professionals estimate costs, plan construction, and design solar systems.
- Apply daily tools such as Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, and Aurora Solar to test and critique AI output.
- Write clear feedback that explains errors, gaps, and better answers for AI research teams.
- Compare AI responses against real project development workflows and industry cost estimation methods.
- Maintain written records of evaluations and training data for asynchronous project work.
Requirements6
- At least 2 years of professional experience in energy project estimation, pre-construction, or solar design.
- Background as an Estimator, Project Engineer, Pre-construction Manager, Solar Design Engineer, or a similar energy industry role.
- Hands-on use of one or more tools: Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, or Aurora Solar.
- Strong written communication and close attention to detail.
- Ability to work on an asynchronous schedule with AI research teams and no direct supervision.
- No prior AI experience needed.
Who Should Apply
The role fits an energy estimator, project engineer, pre-construction manager, or solar design engineer with 2+ years in the field and hands-on use of Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, or Aurora Solar. You should enjoy writing precise evaluations and working remote on your own schedule, since projects run on an asynchronous basis with 5 to 20 hours per week. Candidates who need a full-time schedule, daily team meetings, or a traditional permanent position will find this project a poor match. Applications often score low when they show no hands-on tool experience from the list or cannot document 2 years of energy project estimation, pre-construction, or solar design work. Weak written samples also hurt, because the task depends on clear, detailed feedback.
Salary Insight
Pay reaches $85.00 per hour at the top of the range for this project-based AI training work. That rate sits above many part-time remote research tasks and usually matches energy professionals with 2 or more years of domain experience plus hands-on tool skills. Handshake AI lists the role as per-hour contract work, so earnings depend on approved hours and active project availability.
