Sanctuary · 5 days ago
Experience: 2–3 years
Compensation: ~ $800 - $1,000/month
Start date: Immediately

About the role
We’re building one of the most ambitious residential communities in the U.S.: 114 modern, wellness-driven homes in the Texas Hill Country. To make it real, we need someone who’s exceptional at execution.
This is a drafting-heavy, revit-focused role. You won’t be driving conceptual design, you’ll be the engine behind precise, high-quality permit drawings, coordination sets, and production work that directly enables construction to start.
You’ll work closely with Paula (Architecture Lead), supporting her day-to-day updates, iterations, and permitting workflows. Expect speed, clarity, and a lot of responsibility as we file over 113 individual permits in the next phase.
We’re a team spread across 8 countries. Our vision is to bring Sanctuary to major cities around the world: healthy, sovereign communities that sit on the edges of every modern metropolis.
What you’ll own
Drafting & Production
-
Produce clean, accurate Revit drawings for residential projects
-
Update plans quickly based on feedback
-
Maintain high drafting standards that are consistent across the project
Permitting Support
-
Prepare permit-ready plans for 114+ residential homes
-
Fill in required forms and documentation tied to permit submissions
-
Validate information, double-check requirements, and support county submissions (final sign-off handled by Architecture Lead)
Coordination
-
Incorporate notes and markups from engineers, consultants, and internal leads
-
Support future phases of coordination once all engineers are onboarded (post-permit)
Quality & Workflow
-
Keep all Revit models organized and up to date
-
Follow Sanctuary’s workflows and templates
-
Communicate proactively when instructions or requirements need clarification
What makes this role exciting
-
You help unlock the entire project: permits are the critical milestone that lets construction begin.
-
You’ll see your work turn into real homes on real land.
-
You’ll work closely with senior architects and gain exposure to U.S. permitting, coordination, and large-scale residential development.
-
Clear growth path: → Start with drafting + permits → Move into cross-discipline coordination → Grow into intermediate architect responsibilities as the project scales
What might be challenging
-
Counties and municipalities can be slow and manual - expect repetitive forms, unclear instructions, and follow-ups.
-
High-volume production: accuracy and speed matter every single day.
-
Priorities shift fast; flexibility is key in our environment
What we’re looking for
Must-haves
-
2–3 years of architectural experience
-
Strong Revit modeling + drafting skills (this role centers on precision, not creativity)
-
A Revit/drafting portfolio (not just conceptual design)
-
Organized, detail-oriented, fast executor
-
Comfortable working remotely and asynchronously
-
Ability to overlap at least 5 hours with U.S. Central Time
Nice-to-Haves
-
Experience supporting permit sets
-
Prior residential or U.S. project experience
Hiring process
-
Stage 1: Intro interview
- alignment, experience, culture fit.
-
Stage 2: Revit task (≤45 minutes)
- A short technical assignment to validate drafting accuracy, model organization, and speed.
-
Stage 3: Final interview
- Deep dive into technical skills, workflow fit, expectations, and growth.
