Our first 135 acre residential community in the Texas Hill Country is designed with:\nNon-toxic materials\nClean water and filtration systems\nEMF-conscious design\n135 acres of preserved land and eco - sensitive planning\nWe are a global team 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.\nWe’re a team spread across 8 countries, building our 1st community in Austin, Texas. This is only the beginning. Our vision is to bring Sanctuary to major cities around the world: healthy, sovereign communities that sit on the edges of every modern metropolis.\nAnd now, we’re searching for the civil engineer who can make this vision buildable in a way that honors the land.\nWhat this role really means\nFor too long, we’ve relied on outside consultants for grading, drainage, and site layout - and frankly, it slowed us down and diluted the beauty of what we’re building.\nWe’re bringing this role in-house because we need someone who sees land as a canvas, not a constraint.\nYou will literally shape how the community feels underfoot:\nRoads that follow the land instead of fighting it\n\nHomes tucked gracefully into natural contours\n\nStormwater systems that follow the logic of nature\n\nThis is a rare chance to blend engineering, architecture, sustainability, and design into one high-impact role.\nYour impact will show up everywhere\nYour work determines:\nPace: How fast we can build.\n\nAesthetics: How beautifully each home sits within the land.\n\n Sustainability: How thoughtfully we work with nature (designing roads that follow terrain, and stormwater paths that work with natural systems).\n\nYou will be the bridge between vision and reality - the person who turns world-class architecture into something constructible, intelligent, and deeply respectful of the Hill Country terrain.\nWhat you’ll own (end-to-end)\nYou will lead civil engineering for our entire community - full stop.\nThis includes:\nSite & Land Development\nFull-site grading, drainage, roadway layout, and retaining design\n\nCreating grading that makes every home feel naturally placed\n\nTopography-driven design that minimizes cuts, scars, and cost\n\nPermitting & Approvals\nPrepare and submit permit-ready civil drawing sets for:\nTCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality)\n\nHays County\n\nCity of Dripping Springs\n\nAnd own the entire permitting process end-to-end.\n\nCross-functional Design Leadership\nWork closely with global architects, designers, and MEP teams\n\nCollaborate daily with construction in Austin to ensure buildability\n\nGuide design decisions using deep knowledge of Texas codes/standards\n\nTechnical Execution\nTranslate geotechnical & survey data into actionable plans\n\nDevelop drainage models, stormwater paths, and cut-fill strategies\n\nCoordinate civil work packages: roads, driveways, water/sewer, utilities\n\nReview consultant work and integrate it into Sanctuary standards\n\nSystems & Standards\nBuild the foundation of Sanctuary’s civil engineering processes\n\nCreate templates, workflows, and documentation that scale to future communities\n\nThis is a role for someone who loves rolling up their sleeves, running models, walking the land, and making decisions that will shape a community for decades.\nWhat You Bring\nEducation\nBachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (Master’s preferred but not required)\n\nExperience\n6-10 years in site/civil design, grading, or land development\n\nResidential, mixed-use, or master-planned community experience is a plus\n\nTechnical Strength\nGrading design, stormwater management, drainage modeling\n\nRoad layouts, utility corridors, cut-fill optimization\n\nRevit + AutoCAD Civil 3D (or equivalent tools)\n\nMindset\nThis matters more than anything else. You are someone who:\nThinks with both logic and imagination\n\nDesigns for beauty and practicality\n\nLoves land, water, slope, and the challenge of making them work together\n\nThrives in ambiguity and early-stage building\n\nWants your engineering to actually mean something\n\nWhy This Role Is Special\nCivil engineers rarely get to work this close to:\nArchitectural vision\n\nEnvironmental conservation\n\nHolistic community design\n\nA founding team shaping an entirely new way of living\n\nAt Sanctuary, your work won’t disappear into a giant firm’s folder structure.\nYour decisions will shape the roads people walk, the views they wake up to, the water that runs through the land, and the experience of a community designed to make life feel better.\nThis is engineering with meaning.\nEngineering with heart.\nEngineering that cares about people and the planet.\nIf you’re the kind of engineer who wants to build more than infrastructure…\nIf you want to build a new way of living, we’d love to meet you !","description_format":"text","description_chars":5358,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T10:08:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.183,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":320,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T01:09:54Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sanctuary-civil-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sanctuary-civil-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T01:09:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1413,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4416344},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4416344"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsanctuary-civil-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsanctuary-civil-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsanctuary-civil-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sanctuary-civil-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsanctuary-civil-engineer"}]}
