What this actually is
You complete short labeling tasks, record everyday activities, or evaluate AI outputs across general knowledge domains. Open to most backgrounds. The platform title (Civil Engineer Reviewer) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

Role Overview
- Mercor is seeking senior civil engineering professionals to review evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in large-scale infrastructure and construction contexts.
- The workflows are calibrated to the design complexity, public safety stakes, and regulatory scope of major infrastructure projects and large public/private construction programs.
- This role reviews worlds on two standards tracks: an International track (Eurocodes and ISO) and a US track (ASCE, ACI, AISC, AASHTO). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
- Reviewers assess civil engineering scenarios, reference outputs, and grading rubrics that capture how senior civil engineering leaders think.
Key Responsibilities
- Review civil engineering tasks, reference outputs, and supporting artifacts for technical accuracy, realism, and professional complexity.
- Independently check engineering calculations, design assumptions, analyses, and conclusions against the applicable standards track.
- Review design documentation and relevant CAD or simulation evidence to identify errors, omissions, and inconsistent assumptions.
- Evaluate grading rubrics for clarity, specificity, and whether they distinguish sound professional engineering judgment from generic textbook recall.
- Provide clear written feedback and verify that revisions resolve the identified issues.
Ideal Qualifications
- 5+ years working as a civil engineer or engineering lead
- Direct ownership of large-scale infrastructure designs, permitting processes, or construction project delivery.
- Fluency in civil engineering tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how regulatory approvals, environmental review (NEPA or an international equivalent), and public agency oversight actually work.
- A recognized professional engineering credential is strongly preferred (US PE, or an international equivalent such as CEng, EUR ING, or P.Eng); prior rubric, engineering-training curriculum, or design documentation authorship is a plus.
