Civil Engineering Experts

Role Overview

• Mercor is seeking senior civil engineering professionals to build 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.
• Contributors design civil engineering scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior civil engineering leaders think. Key Responsibilities
• Construct civil engineering scenarios spanning large-scale infrastructure design cycles, multi-stakeholder permitting and regulatory review, and complex construction management or public works processes.
• Build tasks across structural design and analysis, transportation and highway engineering, water resources and environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, and construction project management.
• Develop engineering scenarios involving tools such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, STAAD.Pro/ETABS, HEC-RAS, and enterprise project management platforms used on major infrastructure programs.
• Apply civil engineering methodologies (structural load analysis, geotechnical site assessment, hydrology/hydraulic modeling, AASHTO/ASCE design standards) and produce reference design plans, engineering calculations, and stakeholder/regulatory-facing technical narratives.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic civil engineering judgment from generic textbook or coursework-level recall. Ideal Qualifications
• 5+ years working as a civil engineer or engineering lead at a major engineering firm, construction company, or public infrastructure agency (AECOM, Jacobs, Bechtel, state DOTs, large municipal public works departments).
• 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), and public agency oversight actually work.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license strongly preferred; prior rubric, engineering-training curriculum, or design documentation authorship is a plus.
