Overview
Handshake AI hires energy professionals to support AI research on a flexible hourly contract. You review AI-generated answers about solar design, pre-construction, and project estimation, then supply feedback that sharpens how models handle development workflows and cost data. The work draws on tools such as Aurora Solar, Bluebeam Revu, and RSMeans. You set a remote, async schedule with no minimum hours; most contributors log 5 to 20 hours each week during an active project. You do not need an AI background.
What You'll Do8
- Review AI answers about solar design, pre-construction planning, and energy project estimation for accuracy.
- Flag errors in cost estimates, construction schedules, and design assumptions.
- Write expert reference responses that reflect real project development workflows.
- Compare AI output against standard practices for solar installation and cost estimation.
- Explain how you use Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, or Aurora Solar in daily work.
- Document feedback in clear notes for AI research teams.
- Assess whether generated content matches the needs of active energy projects.
- Apply hands-on knowledge to build training data that improves model performance.
Requirements6
- Two or more years in energy project estimation, pre-construction, or solar design.
- Background as an Estimator, Project Engineer, Pre-construction Manager, Solar Design Engineer, or similar energy role.
- Hands-on use of Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, Aurora Solar, or a comparable industry tool.
- Clear writing and careful review habits for detailed technical feedback.
- Comfort working on your own and on an async schedule with AI research teams.
- You do not need prior AI experience.
Who Should Apply
The best fit is an energy professional with at least two years in solar design, pre-construction, or project estimation and direct use of Aurora Solar, Bluebeam Revu, or RSMeans. You enjoy writing short, clear critiques of technical material and can manage your own hours across a 5 to 20 hour week. This role suits someone who wants project-based AI work alongside a main job, while candidates who need steady full-time hours or lack hands-on estimation or solar design experience will find a poor match. Applicants score low when they list only general energy knowledge without naming specific tools or project tasks, or when they offer vague feedback that does not point to a cost, design, or schedule error.
Salary Insight
The listing shows up to $85.00 per hour for this part-time fellowship. That rate sits at the high end for project-based AI training work in specialized energy domains, while general tasks pay less. Your exact hours depend on active project needs and your own schedule.
