Overview
Environmental Engineering – AI Data Trainer Jobs in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom at Alignerr
Title: Environmental Engineering – AI Data Trainer
Company: Alignerr
Location: Birmingham, England, United Kingdom
Environmental Engineering – AI Data Trainer
About The Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to make AI smarter in complex scientific domains — and we need environmental engineers to help get it right. As an AI Data Trainer, you'll stress-test cutting-edge language models on real environmental engineering challenges, expose their blind spots, and help build systems that reason accurately about the problems that matter most to our planet.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You set your hours and work on your own schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced environmental engineering scenarios spanning contaminant transport, mass balance in treatment systems, hydrology, air dispersion modeling, and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
- Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Develop rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions — including chemical dosage calculations, hydraulic flow models, and pollutant dispersion analyses — that serve as benchmark responses for AI evaluation
- Audit AI Outputs — Review AI-generated remediation plans, environmental impact statements, and engineering calculations for technical accuracy, regulatory compliance (EPA, ISO 14001), and safety
- Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify flaws in model logic — such as incorrect stoichiometry, faulty unit conversions, or failure to account for secondary environmental impacts — and deliver structured feedback to improve how the model thinks
- Work Across Core Domains — Apply expertise in water and wastewater treatment, air quality management, EHS compliance, and solid or hazardous waste management
Who You Are
- Advanced Degree — Master's (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering with an environmental focus, or a closely related discipline
- Domain Expert — Strong foundational knowledge in at least one core area: aquatic chemistry, wastewater process design, air quality engineering, or hazardous waste remediation
- Precise Communicator — Able to explain complex ecological and engineering concepts clearly and concisely in writing
- Detail-Oriented — High accuracy when checking unit conversions (e.g., mg/L to ppm), chemical equations, mass balances, and regulatory logic
- No prior AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or AI evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with environmental modeling software (e.g., AERMOD, SWMM, GoldSim)
- Experience writing technical reports or environmental impact assessments
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top AI research teams and labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with experts across the globe
- Gain rare, hands-on exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated
- Meaningful work — your expertise directly improves how AI handles real-world environmental challenges
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
