Role Description We're on a mission to radically transform the way we design and construct our built environment. Our core thesis: 85% of what engineers do today is theoretically automatable, yet less than 5% has actually been touched by AI. That gap is the largest of any profession. What you'll do: - Walk us through your day-to-day and project-to-project workflows in detail. - Talk through real (appropriately anonymized) projects so we understand the design intent behind work. - Pressure-test product ideas and early prototypes: tell us, candidly, where they'd save real time, where they'd add risk, and where they fall apart against real practice. - Help us map where civil hands off to structural and MEP - and to surveyors, agencies, and contractors - and where coordination actually breaks down. - Distill where the work is irreducible engineering judgment versus repetitive process that's ripe for automation. Qualifications - A licensed PE in civil engineering (or equivalent senior experience) who has delivered real land development, site, or infrastructure projects. - Fluent in tools like Civil 3D and stormwater/H&H software (e.g., HydroCAD, SWMM, HEC-RAS). - Deep curiosity for how things work - and the ability to explain why the work is done the way it is. - Opinionated about your discipline's workflows - including what's broken about them. Requirements - Competitive hourly rate ($100–$150/hour, set by discipline depth and licensure). - 1099 independent contractor engagement (standard contractor onboarding, including a W-9). - Part-time and flexible - a few hours a week, scheduled around your full-time practice. - Remote, U.S.-based. Confidentiality We take client and project confidentiality seriously. We'll work with you to ensure nothing proprietary to your employer or your clients is ever exposed.
