Johannes studied civil engineering at the Delft University of Technology (Dutch: Technische Universiteit Delft). After Michiel's death in 1925, Johannes took charge of the father's architectural firm and entered into a partnership with architect Leendert van der Vlugt. The results of that collaboration include the Van Nelle Factory and the Feijenoord Stadion.[2]

After the death of Van der Vlugt in 1936, Brinkman teamed up with architect Johannes Hendrik van den Broek.[2] The firm's work during this time including a new Rotterdam Cruise Terminal for the Holland-America Line.[4]
