Data Center AEC Review Specialist

Role overview

Mercor is hiring experienced architecture, engineering, and construction professionals to review and strengthen complex engineering tasks set in data-center projects. This is a technical peer-review role: you will assess realistic design, permitting, and construction scenarios, repair gaps in task materials, and confirm that the expected outputs and grading methods reflect professional practice.

• Review long-horizon tasks involving structural and civil design, geotechnical inputs, foundations and slabs, wind and seismic analysis, rooftop equipment loads, building codes, AHJ requirements, drawing packages, BIM coordination, and constructability
• Check engineering assumptions, calculations, governing criteria, code interpretation, document precedence, and coordination across disciplines
• Identify ambiguity, conflicting source documents, missing constraints, or unrealistic deliverables
• Improve task prompts, supporting artifacts, acceptance criteria, rubrics, and programmatic checks
• Produce clear technical findings and validate corrected tasks end to end

• Typically 2+ years of experience on data centers, mission-critical facilities, or comparably complex building and infrastructure projects
• Relevant roles include Senior Structural Engineer, Civil or Site Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Code Consultant, Engineer of Record, Design Manager, Project Architect, BIM or VDC Manager, or Construction Engineer
• Strong command of applicable U.S. building codes and engineering standards; PE, SE, or RA credentials are preferred where relevant
• Experience at a leading multidisciplinary AEC, design, or consulting engineering firm is strongly preferred
• Able to interpret large document sets, calculations, specifications, drawings, models, schedules, and technical registers
• Precise, detail-oriented, and able to explain technical issues clearly in writing

• Approximately 5–10 hours per week initially
• Immediate start
• Compensation: $100–$140 per hour, based on experience and role fit
