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.
