Construction Manager

Open 24d reposted 2×

Location: On-site, Texas Hill Country (25 min west of Austin)

Type: Full-time

Compensation: $150,000 - $200,000 annually + performance bonus

Company: Sanctuary

We’re real estate developers building healthy and luxury residential communities where thoughtful design and robust construction techniques are used.

At Sanctuary, we’re hands-on builders first. We’re expanding fast, and we’re looking for a punctual, sharp, and execution-focused Construction Manager to lead on-site operations for our first large-scale development: a 50+ home project in the Texas Hill Country, with more in the pipeline.

If you’re passionate about delivering high-quality residential projects, thrive by keeping budgets and schedule in check - this is the opportunity.

Your #1 mission:

Reduce build cost from $300 to $200 per square foot - without cutting corners - and break ground on 60 homes by the end of 2026.

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 developer on-site operations for vertical construction

  • Manage day-to-day construction, schedules, and inspections

  • Strategically value-engineer details 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

  • Proactively place material orders, identify and solve bottlenecks.

What you bring

  • 5+ years of experience managing residential or small-scale community builds

  • 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

Why join Sanctuary?

  • You’ll be first on the ground for a one-of-a-kind project focused on healthy homes

  • 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!
