About this role

From the Mercor listing

Role overview

Mercor is hiring experienced engineering, procurement, and construction professionals to review and strengthen complex engineering tasks set in data-center projects. This is a technical peer-review role: you will assess realistic project-delivery and field scenarios, repair gaps in task materials, and confirm that the expected outputs and grading methods reflect professional EPC practice.

What you will do

  • Review long-horizon tasks involving design coordination, procurement and vendor data, bid and issued drawing packages, EOR revisions, constructability, temporary works, 4D sequencing, field engineering, commissioning, and handover

  • Check scope interfaces, technical requirements, schedule logic, equipment and material constraints, document control, construction methods, and acceptance criteria

  • Identify ambiguity, conflicting source documents, missing constraints, or unrealistic deliverables

  • Improve task prompts, supporting artifacts, acceptance criteria, rubrics, and programmatic checks

  • Produce clear technical findings and validate corrected tasks end to end

Who we are looking for

  • Typically 2+ years of experience delivering data centers, mission-critical facilities, or comparably complex capital projects through EPC, design-build, or construction-management models

  • Relevant roles include Project Engineer, Engineering Manager, Design Manager, Construction Manager, Field Engineer, Procurement Engineer, Commissioning Manager, Project Controls Lead, or Technical Project Manager

  • Strong understanding of multidisciplinary design and construction interfaces; PE, PMP, CCM, or commissioning credentials are preferred where relevant

  • Experience at a leading EPC, design-build, engineering, or construction firm is strongly preferred

  • Able to interpret large document sets, specifications, drawings, schedules, equipment submittals, cost and constraint registers, and field records

  • Precise, detail-oriented, and able to explain technical issues clearly in writing

Details

  • Approximately 5–10 hours per week initially

  • Immediate start

  • Compensation: $80–$130 per hour, based on experience and role fit

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Requirements

  • Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
  • Reliable high-speed internet connection
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
  • Demonstrated expertise in IT & Systems

Common questions

Does Mercor's application require an on-camera interview?

Yes. You record a video interview with an AI interviewer that asks about your resume, and clients watch it before they hire, so plan to be on camera.

Does it cost money to apply to Mercor?

No, applying to and joining Mercor is free. Mercor charges the client a fee on top of your rate. If anyone asks you to pay to join, treat it as a scam.

What does a typical day look like in expert AI training work?

Tasks are slow and careful. One task can take 45 to 60 minutes of checking citations or calculations, and you're judged on quality more than speed.

Is AI training work the same as traditional consulting?

It's closer to teaching. You grade the AI's logic, correct its mistakes and write the expert reasoning it lacks, instead of producing work for a client.

What does IT & Systems work look like for an Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) Expert — Data Centers?

You check AI answers to IT & Systems questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As an Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) Expert — Data Centers, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on IT & Systems experience matters.

How much does this specific role pay?

This listing is posted at $80-130/hr, an hourly rate. Where you land in the range depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change after we check the listing, so confirm the rate on the platform's application page.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

Apply opens Mercor's site, where you create an account and follow its sign-up steps.

How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?

Usually after a few weeks. Applying puts you in Mercor's pool of candidates, and you start once a client, such as an AI lab, picks your profile.
