Overview
Type: Full-time
Compensation: Competitive base + 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 versatile, sharp, and execution-focused 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.
We're partnered with a seasoned General Contractor who brings a wealth of hands-on experience to the table. To complement this relationship and support our ambitious build targets, we're hiring a dedicated Construction Manager to represent Sanctuary on-site, streamline internal coordination, and help us stay closely aligned with our standards, pace, and evolving priorities.
What You'll Do
- Own and lead all on-site operations for vertical construction
- Manage day-to-day construction, schedules, trades, and inspections
- Strategically value-engineer specs and scopes to bring costs down
- Track progress, hit deadlines, and proactively solve problems
- Partner closely with internal architecture, BIM and product teams to keep things moving
- 5+ years of experience managing residential or small-scale community builds
- Deep knowledge of Texas construction codes, subs, vendors, and logistics
- Strong leadership and field coordination skills - you run a clean, efficient, no-drama site
- Comfort working independently with full accountability for jobsite results
- 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.
