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. Ready to build a real community with us? Apply now, and let’s talk!
