Handshake is looking for experienced thermal power plant performance and emissions compliance professionals to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work.
This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on expertise in plant performance analysis, emissions monitoring, and GHG reporting to produce expert-level data and analytical outputs that help build AI training environments for the energy industry.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current work.
Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement.
Responsibilities
Apply your professional expertise to independently produce real analytical work outputs — such as heat rate efficiency analyses, EPA emissions monitoring reports, and GHG inventory documentation — in a structured, project-based format.
Use tools like AVEVA PI and ArcGIS 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 thermal power plant performance or emissions compliance, in a role such as:
Plant Performance Engineer or Thermal Performance / Heat Rate Engineer.
Air Quality / Emissions Compliance Specialist.
GHG / Sustainability Reporting Analyst.
Ability to independently produce work using:
AVEVA PI.
ArcGIS
Hands-on experience with workflows such as heat rate efficiency analysis, EPA continuous emissions monitoring reporting, and GHG emissions inventory and annual reporting.
Bachelor's degree or higher required.
Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.
