TowerPinkster is a 250+ person architecture and engineering practice headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, founded in 1953. The firm operates across commercial, healthcare, K-12, higher education, and government sectors. Current hiring is heavily weighted toward senior engineers and designers (18 of 25 active roles), and projects center on building systems, electrical and lighting design, and regulatory compliance work—indicating deep technical execution rather than horizontal scaling, paired with active pain around business development and client acquisition velocity.
