About the Role Appen’s Strategic Project Leads turn complex technical requirements into high-quality data and evaluation resources that help advance AI models.  As the Strategic Project Lead for Physical Engineering, you will bring deep engineering knowledge to projects involving the physical world and built environment. You will help translate real-world engineering work into structured tasks, expert-reviewed data and evaluations that support AI training and model assessment.  You will bring depth in at least one physical engineering discipline, such as mechanical, electrical, civil or structural engineering, while working with specialists across other areas as needed. You will partner with customers, Applied Researchers, Operations and technical experts to shape project requirements, establish quality standards and deliver technically credible results.  This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will lead through subject matter expertise and influence, rather than direct people management.
