Location: On-site, Texas Hill Country (25 min west of Austin)
Type: Full-time
Compensation: above $300,000 + performance bonuses
Company: Sanctuary
We're real estate developers building something rare - healthy, sustainable residential communities where thoughtful design and strong community come together.
At Sanctuary, we're hands-on builders first. We're expanding fast, and we're looking for a senior-level Construction Manager to lead on-site operations for our first large-scale development: a 100+ home project in the Texas Hill Country, with more in the pipeline.
If you're passionate about delivering high-quality residential projects, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and are ready for a role with real responsibility and global potential - this is the opportunity.
Your #1 mission:
Reduce build cost from $350 to $250 per square foot - without cutting corners - and break ground on 60 homes by the end of 2025.
What You'll Do
-
Oversee all on-site vertical construction operations, from dirt to delivery.
-
Manage day-to-day construction, schedules, trades, and inspections
-
Strategically value-engineer specs and scopes to bring costs down
-
Build and manage a top-notch crew and subcontractor network
-
Track progress, hit deadlines, and proactively solve problems
-
Partner closely with internal architecture, BIM and product teams to keep things moving
What You Bring
Track record of 10+ completed residential projects in the past 2 years
-
Strong leadership and field coordination skills - you run a clean, efficient, no-drama site
-
Comfort working independently with full accountability for jobsite results
Why Join Sanctuary?
-
You'll be first on the ground for a one-of-a-kind project focused on healthy homes and sustainable living
-
You'll have the freedom to lead, make decisions, and actually move the needle
-
You'll be supported by a small, agile, no-BS leadership team
-
Your work will be seen, appreciated, and built to last
If you're ready to lead a smarter build, cut unnecessary costs, and be part of something that actually matters, we want to hear from you.
Apply, and let's talk!
