Energy Project Estimator - Remote Fellowship
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI seeks experienced energy estimation and solar design professionals for a part-time fellowship that feeds expert work into AI training data. You will produce cost estimates, plan reviews, and solar proposals with tools such as Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, and Aurora Solar. The work runs as ongoing projects, so you can schedule tasks around a current job and complete them at your own pace. Each output helps build training environments for energy industry AI applications.
What You'll Do6
- 1Generate detailed construction and energy project cost estimates from architectural and engineering plans.
- 2Review architectural plans and specifications to support accurate cost estimation and solar installation planning.
- 3Create solar installation proposals with Aurora Solar that reflect real-world design and pricing decisions.
- 4Use Bluebeam Revu and RSMeans to complete estimation tasks in a format that mirrors professional practice.
- 5Produce analytical outputs that serve as reference material for AI training datasets in the energy sector.
- 6Manage your own project queue and choose when to complete tasks, with no set schedule or minimum hours.
Requirements6
- 12+ years of professional experience in energy project estimation, solar design, or a related role.
- 2Background as a construction cost estimator, solar project estimator, solar sales engineer, or solar designer.
- 3Proficiency with Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, and Aurora Solar for independent project work.
- 4Direct experience reviewing architectural and engineering plans for cost estimation and solar installation proposals.
- 5Bachelor's degree or higher.
- 6Strong written communication, high attention to detail, and comfort working alone in a remote, asynchronous setting.
Who Should Apply
Candidates who thrive here bring at least two years of hands-on energy estimation or solar design work and can point to real cost estimates, plan reviews, and solar proposals they have completed. The role suits professionals who already use Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, and Aurora Solar in their daily work and want flexible, project-based side income. People who need steady hours, regular check-ins, or a fixed team structure will find the fellowship a poor match. Applications often score low when candidates list general construction experience without showing solar design or estimation deliverables. Another common gap is claiming tool familiarity without evidence of independent use on actual plans or proposals.
Salary Insight
The fellowship pays $80.00 per hour. That rate sits above many part-time contract roles in construction estimation and solar design, and it aligns with compensation for experienced specialists who bring direct tool proficiency and a bachelor's degree. Handshake AI treats the work as project-based, so total earnings depend on how many tasks you complete.

Application Tip
Show fit by naming concrete deliverables: a recent cost estimate, an architectural plan review, and a solar proposal you built in Aurora Solar. Include the tools used, such as Bluebeam Revu and RSMeans, and state your years of experience and degree. Quantify one result, for example project size or savings identified, to help reviewers match your background to the fellowship.

VerifiedEnvironmental Analyst - Remote Part-Time
Handshake AI invites energy professionals into a fellowship that supports AI research through part-time, per-hour contract work. You review AI-generated answers and build training material tied to environmental assessment, GIS analysis, and renewable energy siting. Daily tools such as ArcGIS, Oracle MDM, and Aurora Solar inform how you judge accuracy, relevance, and geospatial data practices. The schedule stays remote and async, with no minimum hours, and most contributors put in 5 to 20 hours during an active project. This sits alongside other work because the engagement is project-based rather than a permanent role.
