Desk review for a Chartered Engineer or Geologist

I have a fully assembled geotechnical and piling QA evidence pack for a completed residential piling scheme (bored bearing piles in chalk). I need a CEng or CGeol to review it and issue a short signed statement confirming compliance with a planning condition, for the local planning authority. That's it — reviewing existing documents and signing on your own professional judgement. This suits someone who can turn it around efficiently. The pack is complete (geotechnical assessment, piling method statement/RAMS, integrity results, structural movement monitoring). To apply, please confirm in your first message: 1. You are CEng or CGeol — name your institution and membership number. 2. Your professional indemnity insurance covers issuing a signed statement to a planning authority. 3. Brief note on relevant piling / chalk / condition-discharge experience. I'll verify chartership on the public register and ask for a PI certificate before instructing. Full pack shared under NDA with shortlisted applicants. Fixed fee, prompt payment.

Administrative Lead Research & Outreach Assistant

We’re a small East London brand studio working with newly-registered UK companies. We need someone to run the top of our outreach funnel: finding the right companies, finding the right person inside them, and preparing outreach that doesn’t read like a template. This is a structured, SOP-driven role — you’ll follow a written process (provided, and thorough) rather than invent one. We’re looking for someone who can work independently from clear instructions and make good judgement calls within them. What you’d do: • Pull newly-registered UK companies from Companies House (daily search, provided criteria) • Find the right contact — LinkedIn, company website, or verified email • Research one genuine, specific detail about each company (60 seconds each) and draft a short personalised opener • Keep a tracker accurate and up to date • Route anything price/scope-related straight to us — you’re never quoting or promising on our behalf What we’re looking for: • Comfortable with structured research — Companies House, LinkedIn, verification tools • Strong attention to detail; accurate entries matter more than fast ones • Clear written English — you’ll be drafting outreach copy, so writing quality matters • Able to follow a detailed SOP independently, without frequent check-ins • UK-based preferred (local knowledge helps with the research) Hours & rate: ~6 hours/week to start, room to grow as the pipeline does. £13–£18/hour depending on experience. Paid weekly, reviewed after the first fortnight. How to apply: tell us about a time you followed a detailed process independently and caught an error or judgement call the instructions hadn’t anticipated. Include your hourly rate. Shortlisted applicants get a short PAID trial (details on request) before anything’s agreed.

Office Space Planning Support - Desk Layout & Seating Options

We are looking for someone to help us with office space planning for a small office team of around 8 people. This is not a request for a full interior design project or a 3D walkthrough. What we need is a practical, intelligent desk layout plan that helps us make better use of the space and work out where people should sit. We have the key dimensions of the office, desk sizes, number of screens, printers, floor boxes, plug sockets, air conditioning units, and other fixed points. We can provide a floor plan or rough sketch with measurements, along with photos of the space if helpful. The main requirement is to help us play around with different layout options for desks and seating positions. We would also like to provide some context on each person in the office, including: Their role and who they work closely with Where they currently sit What works and does not work about their current position Any preferences or restrictions around where they should sit Which team members should ideally be close together Any areas we want to keep clear or use more effectively The aim is to end up with a few sensible layout options that show where desks could go and where each person could sit. We are looking for someone who can think practically about workflow, communication, comfort, noise, screens, sockets, printers, and general day-to-day office use. The final output could be a simple 2D plan, annotated layout, or clear desk/seating diagram. It does not need to be overly polished, but it does need to be accurate, easy to understand, and useful for making a decision. Ideally, we would like someone with experience in office space planning, workplace layouts, facilities planning, or practical interior layout design. Please include examples of similar work if you have any.

Machine Learning Research Proposal Specialist

Overview We are looking for a Machine Learning Research Proposal Specialist to create a polished, professional research-style write-up for an ML evaluation task. The submission should propose a machine learning problem within the writer’s domain of expertise and must be directly related to machine learning. The final deliverable should be written in markdown format, follow the provided template exactly, and be no longer than 1–2 pages with a maximum of 8 paragraphs. Project Goal The goal of this project is to design a machine learning benchmark or problem that is complex enough to challenge a strong state-of-the-art LLM. The problem should not be a simple generic ML pipeline task. It should require deep domain expertise, advanced reasoning, and layered technical understanding that would be difficult for a general-purpose model to solve without specialized knowledge. Responsibilities The selected specialist will write a complete research proposal-style submission using the required sections: Domain and Motivation, Task Design, Data and Data Generation, Sources of Difficulty, Reference Solution and Scoring, and Citations. Each section should be concise, polished, and limited to one paragraph. The proposal should clearly explain the ML domain, why the task is meaningful, what is being predicted, how the data would be generated or adapted, why the task requires extrapolation, and why naive approaches would fail. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate has strong experience in machine learning, applied AI, data science, or ML research, with expertise in at least one technical or scientific domain such as healthcare, finance, robotics, cybersecurity, biology, materials science, geospatial analysis, NLP, computer vision, or another complex field. They should be able to design a creative ML task that rewards real domain knowledge rather than basic textbook ML skills. Required Skills Strong understanding of machine learning problem formulation, benchmark design, data generation strategies, train/test split methodology, model evaluation, and scoring metrics is required. The candidate should also be comfortable explaining why a task is difficult, what domain-specific insights are needed, and how an expert would approach solving the problem. Clear technical writing and the ability to produce concise markdown-formatted documentation are essential. Deliverable The final deliverable will be a markdown-formatted research proposal following the provided template. It should be professional, concise, and no more than 8 paragraphs total. The proposal must involve machine learning directly and should include citations where applicable, such as relevant research papers, datasets, GitHub repositories, or other credible references that support the proposed task. Important Notes This is a machine learning evaluation project, so proposals that are not directly related to ML will not be accepted. The model output should be ignored during the evaluation process, and once the prompt has been entered and the model generates a response, the evaluator should select “Done Chatting.”

Build a Secure Live AI Research Data Processing Prototype

Rapid Low-Code AI Document-Parsing Web Prototype (Secure Cloud Tenant) in Microsoft Copilot Studio / Azure OpenAI Project Overview: I need a highly concise, working prototype of a secure web application interface. The sole purpose of this app is to demonstrate a secure, live text-processing pipeline during a brief stakeholder review. It must ingest a raw text document/dataset, simulate a structured evaluation process against a pre-set compliance rubric, and dynamically display an optimization analytics page. Key Requirements to Implement: 1. Secure File Upload Interface A minimal, clean user interface with a file drop zone labeled: "Secure Sandbox: Upload Manuscript / Dataset Draft (PDF, DOCX, or CSV)". A secondary text field labeled: "Alternative Manual Input: Paste Methodology / Text Details". A dropdown parameter selector: [Parameter Group A / Baseline Metrics Checklist]. 2. Localized Governance Engine Setup Connect this frontend interface securely to an LLM endpoint (via Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI Studio template, or a standard private API pipeline). Define system prompts to parse the document's sections (checking for structural clarity, data mapping consistency, and alignment with baseline formatting rules). 3. Dynamic Output & Accountability Dashboard Upon document submission, the UI must refresh dynamically to show: Maturity / Verification Score: A clean progress gauge (e.g., Ecosystem Readiness Level: 84%). Compliance Rules Checklist: Visual indicators displaying: [Passed] Citation & Data Anonymization Check [Passed] Methodological Parameter Scope [Warning] Formatting Ambiguity Detected in Section 3 Actionable Next Steps: A generated text box detailing exactly what parameters need optimization. Technical Constraints: Must be deployed on a functional, live preview web URL so I can interact with it live during the meeting. Data privacy configuration must be explicitly set to ensure no data processed is utilized for public model training datasets. Important Fail-Safe: Hardcode a single specific fallback template path into the interface so that if the live internet connection fluctuates during the review, the target upload file will immediately trigger the exact correct completed dashboard layout cleanly.
