The job description

Job Type: Contractor (~10 hours per week)

Schedule: Flexible-you choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired

micro1 is engaging Senior Cargo Condition and Securing Surveyors to contribute expert analysis and insight to a customer's logistics-focused project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

Evaluate refrigerated and temperature-controlled cargo documentation, such as reefer temperature logs and condition records, to assess compliance and identify potential issues.
Analyze finished-vehicle and food transport evidence, including damage reports and compliance documents, to determine condition, causation, and potential losses.
Perform remote assessments of container integrity, cargo securing methods, and lashing arrangements using photographic and written shipment records.
Review hatch-cover inspection reports and related marine cargo documentation to assess sealing, weatherproofing, and compliance with safety standards.
Write clear, professional surveyor findings and damage attributions, providing detailed reasoning for each conclusion as would be required in a signed surveyor's report.
Deliver structured, written feedback to support the training and evaluation of advanced AI models focused on cargo logistics and compliance.

Preferred Qualifications

At least 7 years of experience as a cargo surveyor specializing in reefer and temperature-controlled shipments, containerized cargo, or cargo securing and lashing practices.
Demonstrated expertise in reviewing and interpreting photos, inspection logs, damage reports, and compliance documentation for marine or land-based logistics.
Background in one or more of the following: reefer and perishables surveying, container and securing surveying, marine hatch-cover inspection, finished-vehicle logistics inspection, or food transport auditing.
Strong analytical judgment and a meticulous approach to documentation review and report writing.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to provide clear, well-reasoned explanations for technical findings.
Familiarity with international transportation compliance standards and best practices for cargo condition and securing.
Previous consulting or remote project participation experience is a plus, though not required.
