Civil​/Structural Engineer, BIM Authoring

The Work

You will provide expert engineering input for training and evaluating AI-powered engineering systems. The work combines hands-on BIM model authoring with technical judgment about constructability, interoperability, workflow usability, and design quality.

You will work with civil and structural drawing sets, BIM models, IFC files, design coordination requirements, and applicable engineering codes. You will also explain technical decisions and design reasoning clearly so your feedback can improve AI engineering systems.

• Create, review, and refine plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and other detailed civil and structural drawing sets.
• Author and manage BIM models for complex or multi-building projects using Revit, ArchiCAD, or BlenderBIM.
• Apply relevant code families, including Eurocode, ACI, ASCE, IS, and BS, when developing and reviewing designs.
• Export and validate IFC 2x3 or IFC4 files, including geometry, classification, and mapping integrity checks.
• Evaluate project requirements, identify constructability concerns, and recommend practical improvements.
• Assess BIM tools and data workflows, then provide clear feedback on technical decisions and design quality.

This is a part-time contractor role for experienced civil, structural, or architectural professionals.

• Pay: $30 to $50 per hour.
• Hours:
  
  At least 20 hours per week.
• Location:
  
  remote, open to applicants in India and the United States.
• Language:
  Fluent written and spoken English.
• Education:
  
  Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, structural engineering, or architecture required; a master's degree is preferred.
• Experience:
  
  At least five years of post-degree experience authoring complete drawing sets and leading model development, beyond markup or review work.
• BIM experience:
  At least three years of daily, expert-level authoring with Revit, ArchiCAD, or BlenderBIM.
• Required technical background: IFC export and validation, multidisciplinary coordination, and complex or multi-building projects.
• Standards:
  Working knowledge of Eurocode, ACI, ASCE, IS, or BS standards.
• Helpful experience: PE, CEng, or Chartered status; ifcopenshell or Python scripting;
  Navisworks or Solibri clash detection; ETABS, SAP
  2000, Robot, or Tekla; custom BIM family development; or AI data annotation.

AI training work is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including reviewing documents, rating model outputs, and checking technical data. Experienced professionals are paid to apply their judgment so AI systems can produce more accurate and useful results.
