Junior Architect

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.
