Overview

Handshake is looking for energy industry professionals to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with energy project estimation, construction planning, and solar design to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand project development workflows and cost estimation practices.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.
