Civil Engineer

What you'll do

You act as the domain check on a language model. You pose realistic civil engineering scenarios (calculations, design questions, code-informed reasoning), then judge the model's answers for factual errors, flawed assumptions, missing constraints and unsafe recommendations. The ad lists the territory: structural loads, soil behavior, slope stability, drainage, pavements, reinforced concrete, steel and construction sequencing. You also help set how models should state assumptions and limits, which is the part that reflects professional judgment more than calculation.

Who fits

• 4+ years of professional civil engineering, with hands-on infrastructure, structural, geotechnical, transportation, water or construction work
• A bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a close field; a master's, PhD or PE licensure is strongly preferred
• Solid fundamentals: statics, mechanics of materials, soil mechanics, hydraulics, load paths
• AI data training or evaluation experience is a strong plus

The role is open in 17 countries, mainly South and Southeast Asia, plus Brazil, Germany and the United States. The ad lists no skills section.

What it pays

Up to $100 an hour, per SME Careers; no floor is stated. "Up to" means the typical rate may sit lower. A Civil Engineer QA lead listing from the same project family states up to $105 an hour but is limited to the United States. The listing does not publish payment method or cadence; SuperAnnotate's general terms are on the company page.

Worth knowing

Good:

• A high stated ceiling for work that uses your licence-level judgment
• Safety review of AI output is an explicit part of the job
• Wide country eligibility

Less good:

• The ad does not say how many hours are available or when a project starts
• The experience flag on the board reads "associate", but the text asks for 4+ years; read the text
• Hourly work on SME projects is tracked with monitoring software, per the company page.
