BIM Coordinator - AI Trainer

📋 Description

• • Handshake Technologies, Inc. is seeking skilled and experienced BlenderBIM (Bonsai) users to contribute to cutting-edge AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This unique opportunity is designed for professionals who possess a deep understanding of Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, particularly those involving native IFC editing, construction data management, and OpenBIM standards. As an AI Trainer, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry by evaluating AI-generated content and providing invaluable feedback.
• • This is not a conventional full-time employment position but rather an ongoing, project-based engagement. It offers the flexibility to be undertaken alongside other professional commitments, making it an ideal opportunity for individuals seeking supplementary income or a way to leverage their specialized expertise on a flexible schedule. The project-based nature ensures that you can contribute when it suits your availability, with opportunities arising periodically throughout the year.
• • The ideal candidate will have a background in roles such as BIM Coordinator, BIM Facilitator, VDC Engineer, Digital Delivery Manager, AEC Data Specialist, or Digital Twin Specialist. Your practical experience will be the cornerstone of your contribution, enabling you to assess the accuracy, relevance, and practical applicability of AI outputs in real-world BIM scenarios.
• • Your primary responsibilities will involve utilizing your proficiency in BlenderBIM (Bonsai) to formulate insightful tool-related questions. You will then meticulously review the AI's responses, evaluating them for correctness, coherence, and alignment with established BIM coordination and AEC data workflows. This feedback loop is essential for training the AI to better comprehend and execute complex BIM tasks and data management processes.
• • While no prior experience in AI development or advanced technical AI training is mandated, a strong aptitude for critical evaluation and clear communication is paramount. You will be expected to follow written guidelines precisely and work autonomously, demonstrating a high degree of self-management and attention to detail.
• • The work involves a significant degree of analytical thinking and problem-solving. You will be tasked with identifying nuances in BIM data, understanding potential discrepancies in AI-generated models or reports, and articulating these findings in a constructive manner. This could involve anything from checking the semantic correctness of IFC data to evaluating the logical flow of a construction sequence generated by AI.
• • This role offers a unique chance to be at the forefront of technological innovation in the AEC sector. By contributing your expertise, you will directly influence the development of AI tools that promise to revolutionize how buildings are designed, constructed, and managed. Your insights will help bridge the gap between theoretical AI capabilities and practical industry needs, ensuring that AI solutions are robust, reliable, and genuinely useful for BIM professionals.
• • The project is designed to be accessible to a wide range of experienced BIM professionals. Whether your experience stems from extensive professional projects, freelance engagements, or academic research, your practical knowledge is highly valued. The emphasis is on hands-on experience with the specified tools and workflows, rather than formal AI training.
• • You will be provided with clear instructions and project briefs to guide your work. The asynchronous nature of the work allows you to contribute on your own schedule, fitting tasks around your existing commitments. This flexibility is a key feature of the Handshake AI program, designed to accommodate busy professionals.
• • The ongoing nature of the Handshake AI program means that opportunities will continue to arise, allowing for sustained engagement for those who perform well and are interested in further contributions. As new AI models and training needs emerge, you may be considered for subsequent projects that align with your evolving skill set and experience.
• • This is an exceptional opportunity to apply your specialized BIM knowledge in a novel context, contributing to the advancement of AI in a field that is ripe for digital transformation. Your feedback will be instrumental in developing AI that can assist with tasks such as clash detection, quantity take-offs, scheduling, and data validation, ultimately enhancing efficiency and accuracy in construction projects.
