Overview
Handshake AI seeks experienced construction and project controls professionals to support AI research on a flexible, part-time contract basis. You will use your background in project scheduling, cost controls, and construction planning to craft expert training questions and scenarios drawn from real workflows. Then you review AI-generated answers for accuracy against actual scheduling and project controls practice, and write structured feedback that helps models improve. Work runs as an ongoing project with no set schedule or minimum hours, so you can fit tasks around your current role.
What You'll Do5
- Draft expert training prompts and scenarios that mirror real project controls and construction planning workflows.
- Assess AI-produced responses for correctness and relevance to scheduling and project controls practice.
- Write clear structured critiques that point out gaps, errors, and missing context in model output.
- Complete evaluation tasks at your own pace with no fixed schedule or minimum hour requirement.
- Apply hands-on Primavera P6 knowledge to judge schedule logic, cost controls, and planning decisions.
Requirements5
- At least 2 years of professional experience in project controls, scheduling, or construction planning.
- Background in a role such as Project Scheduler, Project Controls Engineer, EPC Project Manager, or Construction Planner.
- Hands-on use of Primavera P6 for scheduling or project controls work.
- Strong written communication skills and close attention to detail.
- Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous setting.
Who Should Apply
The candidate who fits best brings at least two years in project controls, scheduling, or construction planning, with real Primavera P6 experience and a track record in roles like Project Scheduler, Project Controls Engineer, EPC Project Manager, or Construction Planner. You can explain scheduling logic, cost controls, and planning decisions in writing, and you handle remote asynchronous work without hand-holding. This role suits someone who wants part-time, project-based AI training work alongside a current job. People without hands-on Primavera P6 use or professional project controls experience will find the fit weaker. Candidates often score low when they list general construction knowledge but cannot point to specific scheduling workflows, or when their written feedback stays vague instead of naming exact errors and missing details.
Salary Insight
Pay can reach up to $80.00 per hour, and the listing frames this as part-time contract work through a fellowship program. That top rate sits near the upper end for project controls subject-matter expert tasks, a level that tends to match professionals with several years of Primavera P6 and scheduling experience. The source gives no lower bound, so final pay may depend on your background and the project.
