  • Use tools like Bluebeam Revu, RSMeans, and Aurora Solar to complete tasks the way you would in your day-to-day role.
  • Deliver expert-level work that forms the foundation of AI training datasets for energy industry applications.

Experience and education

  • 2+ years of professional experience in energy project estimation or solar design, in a role such as:
    • Construction Cost Estimator.
    • Solar Project Estimator.
    • Solar Sales Engineer / Solar Designer.
  • Ability to independently produce work using:
    • Bluebeam Revu.
    • RSMeans
