Pittsburgh's largest engineering firms
The online version of this ranking expands beyond what appears in print; more than 60 additional engineering firms are included in our digital rankings, in addition to the 40 featured in this week's print edition.
The Lists in 2025 are part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — this year alone.
Information on The List was obtained through Pittsburgh Business Times research or supplied by individual firms through questionnaires that the Business Times could not independently verify. Firms are ranked by local engineering revenue, then by total employment and then listed alphabetically if ties remain. Additionally, engineering firms that did not respond to employment surveys but were still included on this year's List are sorted by estimated total employment figures derived from Business Times archives; annual filings with the U.S. Department of Labor; and other firm-specific resources. Inclusion on this year's List required each firm to have a minimum of 25 total employees, using the methodologies described above.

PNC taps Coinbase to create crypto trading offering for bank customers
By Hannah Lang (Reuters) -PNC Bank is working with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase to offer crypto trading to the bank's customers, the companies said on Tuesday, in a sign that crypto is moving toward becoming increasingly interconnected to mainstream finance. PNC will use Coinbase's institutional "crypto-as-a-service" platform to develop an offering that will allow PNC clients to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrencies. The Pittsburgh-based financial institution will also offer certain banking services to Coinbase. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT The PNC-Coinbase partnership is a stark shift for the banking sector, which crypto companies at one point had accused of being hostile to their industry. Lawmakers earlier this year held a hearing to scrutinize U.S. banks and their regulators in response to claims they deny services to particular industries. Republicans and Democrats agreed that banks may be improperly denying services to some clients, but disagreed on the root cause. The banking industry has fiercely resisted accusations it denies services based on ideological reasons. It has instead argued that onerous, outdated and opaque rules make it difficult for banks to sometimes provide services, or explain why they cannot. CONTEXT The partnership announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration have embraced cryptocurrencies and enacted industry-friendly policies. Trump signed a law on Friday to create a regulatory regime for dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies known as stablecoins, a major milestone for the digital asset sector, which has long lobbied for such a framework. Several banks including Bank of America and Citibank have said that they are exploring issuing their own stablecoins. KEY QUOTE "Partnering with Coinbase accelerates our ability to bring innovative, crypto financial solutions to our clients," William Demchak, PNC CEO, said in a statement. "This collaboration enables us to meet growing demand for secure and streamlined access to digital assets on PNC's trusted platform."

Rainbow Camp faces ‘nerve-racking' financial pressure
Rainbow Camp has faced heightened financial pressure since mid-June, relying on more donations to make way for more campers to visit. 'The registrations that were coming were asking for full sponsorship, which is campership (cost of the camp) and travel,' co-founder Harry Stewart told The Sault Star. A full sponsorship costs $2,000 with travel as most campers come from Toronto and further. 'A bus for us there and back is $4,200, which when you're doing for a minimal number of kids makes it difficult, flying costs more, but this is what we do and it's nerve-racking this year,' Stewart said. Aside from travel, staff wages, which are minimum wage, and food are also factors in the pricing and the current financial woes. Founded in 2012, Rainbow Camp offers a safe, fun, and welcoming summer experience where 2SLGBTQ+ youth aged 12-17 can be their 'authentic selves.' The camp, run by the Welcome Friend Association, operates on a tiered fee model, allowing it to extend support to youth regardless of their financial situation, ensuring no youth is turned away. The program combines traditional camp activities with 'intentional support' for identity, mental wellness, and a sense of belonging. Year-round programming includes Rainbow Quest, Rainbow Online Connection, and Brave Space Training. Located just east of Sault Ste. Marie, Rainbow Camp has hosted more than 1,000 youth from across North America. More than 70 per cent of campers receive financial subsidies. Rainbow Camp has shouldered past challenges. Staff shortages in 2023 forced the season to end prematurely, in mid-July. More than 140 campers were affected, albeit the Thessalon-area facility did complete four sessions in the first two weeks of July, including two one-week camps for 32 and 37 campers respectively, a two-week adventure camp with five campers and a two-week leaders in training program. Staff shortages were also branded that year for Camp McDougall shuttering its summer program early. Despite entering the season with a full staff complement and offering 'competitive' wages, the facility, located west of Thessalon on Lake Huron, It's not all gloom. The community has shown support and donations, while the camp's founders – this also included Chris Southin – were recently presented with the Governor General of Canada's Meritorious Service Medal, recognizing Canadians whose 'exceptional contributions bring honour to the country.' But it hasn't all been recognition. Rainbow Camp's current canvassing efforts have also brought the haters out, Stewart said. 'When we put out a post for fundraising, we spend more time getting the hate off it,' Stewart added. 'The climate that comes from the bullying and hate from schools, it affects our kids and what they go through like peer pressure and it's also family-oriented.' Error!

Coinbase and PNC to work together as crypto reaches for Main Street
The largest US cryptocurrency exchange and a Pittsburgh regional lender announced a strategic partnership Tuesday that shows how upstart crypto and old-school banking are coming closer together. The new arrangement between Coinbase Global (COIN) and PNC Financial Services Group (PNC) will give retail and institutional customers of the seventh-largest US bank a way to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies through their PNC accounts. PNC will also begin providing Coinbase with select banking services, including settlement, as part of the agreement. 'Partnering with Coinbase accelerates our ability to bring innovative, crypto financial solutions to our clients,' PNC CEO William Demchak said in a statement. "This collaboration enables us to meet growing demand for secure and streamlined access to digital assets on PNC's trusted platforms,' Demchak added. The two companies described the relationship as in its early stages and said they plan to launch PNC's first crypto offering in the coming months through the deployment of Coinbase's newer crypto-as-a-service (CaaS) infrastructure product. 'PNC is a market leader in delivering best-in-class products for their clients," Brett Tejpaul, Coinbase's head of institutional division, said in a statement. "We're thrilled to support their entry into the digital asset market." Such a partnership is an example of how the once segregated worlds of crypto and traditional banking have moved closer together this year as digital assets gain more favorable regulatory treatment from President Trump and lawmakers in Washington, D.C. While Biden-era regulators discouraged banks from moving toward crypto after a series of blowups in the world of digital assets in 2022, the Trump administration has pushed to lower barriers between the two industries. And the path toward clearer and more favorable rules for crypto in the US has in turn spurred investors to flock to digital assets. Crypto's total market capitalization is now nearing $4 trillion, up by $680 billion since the start of 2025, according to CoinMarketCap. Meanwhile, the price of bitcoin (BTC-USD), the largest cryptocurrency, notched fresh all-time highs above $122,000 earlier this month. Some crypto firms are seeking approvals for national trust bank charters as they push for more customers, spurring some pushback from bank lobbyists. The American Bankers Association and Independent Community Bankers of America have asked the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to delay consideration of these charters to be sure the crypto firms aren't planning to use them for other banking services outside the scope of what the charters allow. At the same time, big US banks are assessing their options for whether to buy, build, or partner with crypto firms to get a piece of the digital asset business. At least two big Wall Street institutions — Morgan Stanley (MS) and Charles Schwab (SCHW) — have already signaled plans to offer cryptocurrencies through their wealth management platforms in the coming months. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is exploring letting customers lend against their crypto-related products as soon as this quarter, according to people familiar with the matter. The Financial Times reported Tuesday that the bank is also exploring extending such an offering to let clients lend directly against their crypto holdings next year. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Citigroup (C) CEO Jane Fraser and Bank of America (BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan all said last week they are planning to get involved in dollar-pegged stablecoins as Congress passed the first-ever federal framework for those digital assets. Trump signed the legislation into law on Friday. Big banks have also convened to explore prospects for launching a collaborative stablecoin network similar to Zelle, and PNC's Demchak has been at the center of those collaborative discussions. 'Brilliantly boring' PNC's new partnership with Coinbase is another demonstration of how crypto is reaching for even wider adoption. The Pittsburgh-based bank has roots that trace back to the Civil War, and it prides itself on its conservative principles. A national ad campaign that rolled out last year positioned it as a 'boring' lender that helps customers and businesses build wealth without taking giant risks. 'Brilliantly Boring since 1865,' one slogan read. Emma Loftus, PNC's head of treasury management, said in an interview with Yahoo Finance that the partnership with Coinbase is "absolutely on brand for us." "It's not about a lot of trading and volatility," Loftus said. "It's all about how do we support our clients who actually want to be able to participate in these markets?" In retail and wealth customer accounts, PNC has seen funds flow into crypto-related activities offered by other providers, and there is real interest in being able to give customers a better connection and visualization of these activities through their PNC bank accounts, Loftus added. 'Now we are allowed to bank people in that business,' Demchak said when asked by an analyst in an earnings call last Wednesday about stablecoins, crypto, and the new legislation in Washington. 'Just given our raw capabilities, you would expect that we'll get some meaningful clients there. Secondly, we will enable our clients in the very near term to be able to use crypto,' Demchak added.
