At Ballinger, we are passionate about complex challenges and real-world problem solving.  Design challenges come in all shapes and sizes, and the ones we prefer test us as design professionals.  We seek out complex projects with big impact because they require us to ask tough questions, synthesize data, and push past the boundaries of existing answers into the realm of innovative solutions.  Ballinger team members thrive on those challenges because our clients do, too: our work for them enables their ambitious endeavors in science and medicine, research and government, manufacturing and technology.  Ballinger welcomes ambition with career development, mentorship, and leadership opportunities.  Here ideas will always be more important than hierarchy because they result in buildings as transformative as the missions they serve.
