Civil Engineer

Location : Austin, TX

Type : Full-time

Company : Sanctuary

Compensation : $6,000 - $12,000 USD (Based on the experience)

About Us

We are a US-based real estate development company creating spaces that blend design, nature, and human connection. Our first residential community in the Texas Hill Country spans 100+ acres of preserved nature, built with non-toxic materials, clean water systems, and EMF-conscious design for people who care about how they live, not just where they live.

At Sanctuary, we are not just building homes - we are building a new way of living.

Our international team of 20+ people across India, Europe, and the US includes architects, designers, engineers, and creatives - all driven by one mission : to design spaces that inspire wellness, sustainability, and conscious living.

Our architectural and design vision is bold. Now we need you to make it buildable - intelligently, efficiently, and beautifully.

Why This Role Matters

Our civil scopes - grading, drainage, roadwork, stormwater, retaining structures, and site layouts - currently rely on multiple external consultants. The process takes too long, costs too much, and slows the transition from design to construction.

We're bringing this work in-house - and you'll be the one to build that foundation.

You'll design smarter, more efficient site systems; streamline coordination between teams; and ensure that every home sits in harmony with the land. Your work will directly shape how fast, cost-efficiently, and sustainably we build across the 100+ home masterplan - and future Sanctuary developments worldwide.

This isn't a one-off project. It's the groundwork for a long-term vision that's just getting started.

• Collaboration with the architecture and infrastructure teams in India and the construction team in Austin
• Review and integration of geotechnical and topographic data into buildable civil designs
