Civil Engineer Quality Assurance Lead (QAL)

Skills

About this role

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Civil Engineering Quality Assurance Lead (QAL) to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across civil engineering AI training projects. You will review AI-generated civil engineering content and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure that all contributors follow the expected quality standards.

Civil Engineering, Structural Analysis, Geotechnical Engineering

Responsibilities

• Quality monitoring: Spot-check civil engineering items, identify quality issues, provide ongoing feedback through DMs, and escalate recurring or critical issues.
• Technical review: Evaluate AI-generated engineering explanations, structural calculations, geotechnical reasoning, construction guidance, infrastructure recommendations, diagrams/descriptions, and problem-solving workflows for correctness and clarity.
• Trainer and QA communication: Update trainers and QAs on Discord about new item guidelines, project changes, workflow updates, quality expectations, and civil-engineering-specific review standards.
• Question handling: Respond to trainer/QA questions clearly and promptly, especially around engineering assumptions, units, formulas, and loads.
• Trainer/QA activation management: DM contributors who are inactive or not working, encourage activation, track follow-ups, and flag availability issues when needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Construction Engineering, or a closely related engineering field.
• Strong grasp of the English language to follow project guidelines, communicate with teams, and provide clear technical feedback in English.
• 3+ years of professional experience in civil engineering, structural design, geotechnical engineering, transportation planning, construction management, infrastructure design, water resources, environmental engineering, technical review, engineering education, or related workflows.
• Strong understanding of core civil engineering topics such as statics, structural analysis, reinforced concrete, steel design, soil mechanics, foundations, hydraulics, hydrology, transportation systems, surveying, construction materials, and engineering drawing interpretation.
• Ability to evaluate engineering content against detailed rubrics and identify issues such as incorrect assumptions, flawed calculations, missing units, unsafe recommendations, or code/standards hallucinations.
