About Sanctuary

Sanctuary builds nature-led, wellness-centered communities that feel alive. Our first 135-acre residential community in the Texas Hill Country is designed with:

• Non-toxic materials
• Clean water and filtration systems
• EMF-conscious design
• 135 acres of preserved land and eco - sensitive planning

We are a global team (spread across 8 countries) of designers, architects, engineers, and dreamers building spaces that restore and inspire. For us, it's not just where people live - it's how they live.

Our vision is to bring Sanctuary to major cities around the world: healthy, sovereign communities that sit on the edges of every modern metropolis.

About the role

We are hiring a Construction Project Manager who builds with AI. You understand how construction projects run - schedules, budgets, contractors, and site realities - and you use AI and automation tools to run them faster and smarter.

Internally, we call this role a "Construction VibeKid": someone who can vibe code the tools a project needs instead of waiting for someone else to build them.

You don't need to be a traditional site engineer, and you don't need to be a software developer. You need to sit in the middle: someone who knows construction project management well enough to spot what's slowing a project down, and is hands-on enough with AI tools to build the fix - a scheduling tracker, an automated report, a contractor dashboard, or a workflow that saves the team hours every week.

This is not a role for someone who needs close oversight or a fixed toolset. We are looking for someone curious, resourceful, and quick to experiment - who can take a messy process, figure out what's missing, and ship a working solution.

What you'll do

• Construction project management
  • Plan and track construction schedules, milestones, and budgets across our projects
  • Coordinate with contractors, subcontractors, and consultants to keep work on time and on budget
  • Track progress, flag risks and delays early, and drive issues to resolution
  • Work closely with our architecture, procurement, and construction teams in India and the U.S.
• AI and automation
  • Use AI and automation tools to streamline scheduling, budgeting, reporting, and contractor coordination
  • Build internal tools, dashboards, and workflows using AI-assisted ("vibe") coding and no-code platforms
  • Automate repetitive tasks such as progress reports, cost tracking, RFIs, and status updates
  • Stay on top of new AI tools for construction and test what could work for us
• Reporting and communication
  • Produce clear, regular project reports for leadership - ideally automated
  • Keep schedules, budgets, and project data accurate and in one place
  • Explain technical tools and project status simply to both construction and non-technical teammates

What you bring

• 3-7 years of experience in construction project management, project controls, or planning
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or a related field preferred
• Solid understanding of construction processes, scheduling, budgeting, and contractor coordination
• Hands-on experience building tools or automations with AI (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Replit) or no-code platforms (e.g. Zapier, Make, Airtable)
• Examples of tools, dashboards, or automations you've built - please share them when you apply
• Strong Google Sheets skills; familiarity with project management tools (e.g. ClickUp, Procore, MS Project, Primavera) is a plus
• Experience on U.S. residential construction projects is a must
• Comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving, remote, cross-cultural environment
