Construction Manager
Location: On-site, Texas Hill Country (25 min west of Austin) • Full-time
Compensation: $150,000 - $200,000 annually + performance bonus
About the role
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.
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 hands-on experience; you’ll complement this relationship by representing Sanctuary on-site, streamlining internal coordination, and keeping us aligned with our standards, pace, and evolving priorities.

- 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
Requirements
- 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
Benefits
- First on the ground for a one-of-a-kind project focused on healthy homes
- Freedom to lead, make decisions, and move the needle
- Support from a small, agile, no-BS leadership team
- Work that is seen, appreciated, and built to last
