(OP)
what structure do you normally do.
I do see towers on foundation and think that should be easy to do.
But do you install towers on top of existing roof? this would be something I may not be comfortable doing.
I'm thinking of moving to this industry to diversify my experience. I have an interview coming up.

I have done lattice tower designs, monopole designs and have checked existing structures for antennae attachment.
In general, towers are not installed on buildings. Antennae are installed on buildings and they do collect wind loading, so their attachments need to be checked and the structural response needs to be checked.
Foundations vary....from shallow to deep, depending on the design conditions.

I don't think I saw a single tower installed on a roof in the 100+ towers I worked on. I did see a guyed tower with one of the guy wires attached to a steel contraption on a roof though.
Edit: My experience was from 2014 to 2015, so relatively recently.

The roof top tower on roof deck prevalent in KSA is a mini type one capable of carrying 9 panels and 1 microwave antenna inclusive of equipment shelter.
