Fractional FreeCAD BIM/IFC Specialist - AI Trainer

Opportunity Overview Handshake is looking for skilled FreeCAD BIM/IFC users to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with parametric 3D building modeling, IFC data management, or BIM coordination to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand computational design tasks and AEC workflows. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on. Who This Is For This is a good fit if you're an experienced FreeCAD BIM/IFC user who has worked in or around roles like:

• Computational Designer or BIM Coordinator
• Structural Engineer or Revit Specialist
• BIM Facilitator or Digital Delivery Manager

You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:

• Parametric 3D building modeling or IFC data management using FreeCAD BIM/IFC
• BIM coordination, building data workflows, or ArchiCAD and Revit workflows
• Annotating or labeling BIM models and AEC data assets
• Reviewing parametric models for accuracy, data integrity, or design consistency

What You'll Do

You'll use your experience with FreeCAD BIM/IFC to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world computational design and BIM coordination workflows. No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

We're looking for people who have:

• At least 3+ years of hands-on experience with FreeCAD BIM/IFC, whether through professional work or freelance projects
• A working knowledge of parametric modeling, IFC standards, and BIM coordination workflows
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
• The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines

Work Model and Project Details

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)
• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer
• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
• Compensation: $125 per hour
