What this actually is

You complete short labeling tasks, record everyday activities, or evaluate AI outputs across general knowledge domains. Open to most backgrounds. The platform title (Civil Engineering Writer) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

How Mercor picks people

  1. Upload your CV and answer the role's written questions.
  2. Do a video interview with Mercor's AI interviewer. Most take about 20 minutes, in English unless the role says otherwise.
  3. Some roles add a skills test. A test you pass once counts for similar roles.
  4. The project team reviews your results and sends offers to the people it picks.

Before you start

  • Take Mercor's free practice interview first. It does not count toward any application.
  • Use Chrome on a computer with a camera and microphone, in a quiet room.
  • You can retake an official interview up to 3 times, but hiring teams see how many times you retook it.

Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

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.
  • This role builds worlds on two standards tracks: an International track (Eurocodes and ISO) and a US track (ASCE, ACI, AISC, AASHTO). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
  • 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) to the standards track a world targets (US: ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360, AASHTO LRFD; International: Eurocodes EN 1990-1998 and ISO), 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
  • 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 or an international equivalent), and public agency oversight actually work.
  • A recognized professional engineering credential is strongly preferred (US PE, or an international equivalent such as CEng, EUR ING, or P.Eng); prior rubric, engineering-training curriculum, or design documentation authorship is a plus.
