About the position

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 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.\n\nBallinger is seeking a Designer II to collaborate with team members through the complete design and construction process.
