Industrial Plant Reliability & Maintenance Expert (AI Evaluation)

ABOUT THE PROJECT Clera is recruiting three experienced industrial plant reliability and maintenance experts for a contract project with a Leading Frontier Lab. You will review a simulated industrial plant benchmark used for AI evaluation and help assess whether its environment, synthetic sensor data, and fault and maintenance scenarios reflect real plant conditions. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Review the simulated industrial plant benchmark from the perspective of an experienced plant practitioner. - Give structured feedback on the realism of the simulated plant environment and synthetic sensor-data generation. - Review proposed fault and maintenance scenarios for diagnosability, realistic costs, and defensible ground truth. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR - Considerable hands-on process-plant experience. Around 10 or more years of experience is preferred, but we are flexible for candidates who can demonstrate substantial practical expertise. - Hands-on experience with rotating equipment and associated plant equipment, including centrifugal pumps, motors, suction strainers, and coolers. - Fluency in condition monitoring, including vibration analysis and bearing and cavitation fault signatures. - Comfort working with historian data, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and maintenance documentation. - A strong grasp of maintenance economics, including work orders, spares, and shutdown tradeoffs. CONTRACT DETAILS - Openings: 3. - Time commitment: approximately 5 hours per week per person. - Initial duration: 3 months. - Location: remote, with US- and Europe-based experts preferred; location is flexible. - Compensation: approximately US$90 per hour.
