About the Role
We are hiring Mining, Quarrying & Oil/Gas Extraction Experts for a remote, task-based AI training and evaluation project. The selected experts will use their real professional experience to create realistic workplace tasks that help AI systems understand how professionals in the energy and extraction industries actually work.

• Create professional scenarios involving drilling, production, reservoir engineering, geoscience, mining operations, field operations, process engineering, HSE, or related workflows.
• Provide safe, anonymized, or realistic supporting materials such as engineering reports, production data, field records, technical documents, spreadsheets, logs, or other relevant files.
• Complete the task yourself and create the ideal professional deliverable or solution.
• Define clear evaluation criteria to assess the accuracy, completeness, and quality of an AI-generated response.
• Ensure tasks reflect realistic professional reasoning, decision-making, and workplace practices.
• Work independently and complete assigned tasks within the required timelines.

Required Skills

• Strong professional expertise in Mining, Quarrying, Oil & Gas, Petroleum Engineering, Geoscience, or related fields.
• Experience handling real-world, multi-step professional workflows.
• Familiarity with U.S. workplace practices, standards, terminology, regulations, or U.S.-facing/global operations is highly preferred.
• Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail.
• Ability to create and interpret professional technical reports, engineering documents, field records, spreadsheets, production data, or other relevant materials.
• Strong written English and professional communication skills.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment.
• Comfortable working on AI training and evaluation projects.
