Who this role is best for

Geared toward seasoned industrial plant professionals comfortable with evaluating synthetic sensor data and fault scenarios.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with 10+ years of hands-on process-plant experience and a strong background in maintenance economics.
    — “around 10 or more years of experience is preferred, but we are flexible for candidates who can demonstrate substantial practical expertise”
  • Individuals with technical fluency in condition monitoring and fault signatures for rotating equipment.
    — “fluency in condition monitoring, including vibration analysis and bearing and cavitation fault signatures”
  • Experts who can interpret and critique P&IDs and historian data in a remote work context.
    — “comfort working with historian data, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and maintenance documentation”

Things to consider

  • The role prioritizes US- and Europe-based experts despite being remote, which may affect candidate consideration.
    — “US- and Europe-based experts preferred; location is flexible”
  • The time commitment is minimal, but the need for structured feedback may demand consistent availability.
    — “approximately 5 hours per week per person”

How to stand out

  • Emphasize your ability to provide structured, actionable feedback on simulated plant environments.
    — “Give structured feedback on the realism of the simulated plant environment”
  • Highlight experience with synthetic sensor data evaluation and fault scenario analysis.
    — “review the simulated industrial plant benchmark from the perspective of an experienced plant practitioner”
  • Demonstrate expertise in rotating equipment and associated plant systems in your resume.
    — “hands-on experience with rotating equipment and associated plant equipment, including centrifugal pumps, motors, suction strainers, and coolers”
  • Showcase your understanding of maintenance economics and cost tradeoffs in your application materials.
    — “strong grasp of maintenance economics, including work orders, spares, and shutdown tradeoffs”

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.
