Overview
Handshake AI needs thermal power plant specialists to create expert work samples for AI training in the energy sector. You will turn your day-to-day analysis into structured outputs, from heat rate efficiency studies to EPA continuous emissions monitoring reports and GHG inventories. The project uses AVEVA PI and ArcGIS, and you decide when and how much to work. This part-time contract runs alongside your current job, with no fixed schedule or minimum hours.
What You'll Do7
- Produce heat rate efficiency analyses that reflect standard plant performance engineering practice.
- Build EPA continuous emissions monitoring reports and supporting documentation for compliance reviews.
- Compile GHG emissions inventories and annual reporting packages.
- Use AVEVA PI to pull plant operating data and assess performance trends.
- Apply ArcGIS to spatial datasets tied to emissions monitoring or environmental reporting.
- Deliver expert outputs that become training data for energy industry AI models.
- Choose your own working hours and complete tasks with no minimum commitment.
Requirements6
- Two or more years of professional experience in thermal power plant performance or emissions compliance.
- Background as a Plant Performance Engineer, Thermal Performance or Heat Rate Engineer, Air Quality or Emissions Compliance Specialist, or GHG or Sustainability Reporting Analyst.
- Hands-on use of AVEVA PI and ArcGIS.
- Experience with heat rate efficiency analysis, EPA continuous emissions monitoring reporting, and GHG emissions inventory plus annual reporting.
- Bachelor's degree or higher.
- Strong writing, attention to detail, and ability to work in a remote async environment.
Who Should Apply
The role fits a thermal performance engineer, emissions compliance specialist, or GHG reporting analyst with at least two years of plant-side experience and a bachelor's degree. You should already know how to run heat rate studies, prepare EPA continuous emissions monitoring reports, and assemble GHG inventories without hand-holding. A strong applicant can point to specific AVEVA PI and ArcGIS work in a power generation setting. Candidates who only have classroom exposure to emissions rules, or who list tool names without project examples, tend to score low. If you need a fixed schedule and close team direction, this project will not suit you.
Salary Insight
The listing states $80.00 per hour. This part-time contract fellowship pays by task output, so total earnings depend on how much work you complete. In energy-domain AI training, that rate sits at the higher end and often matches professionals with several years of hands-on thermal plant or emissions compliance experience.
