People

Meet some of our mechanical experts

Anne Marie Moellenberndt

Principal

I joined Arup 17 years ago for the project opportunities. I’ve stayed for many reasons – the people I work with, the opportunities to collaborate, and the firm’s support for flexible schedules when I needed it.

Esteban Roldan

Senior Plumbing and Fire Protection Engineer

This May, I am completing my 12th year at Arup. I have been able to work in Peru, Japan, Singapore, and the UK. This level of mobility and the cultural and knowledge exchange it comes with, is priceless.

Marissa Higgins

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Since joining Arup, my project teams have included members worldwide. The ability to utilize learning resources such as Arup University and our global Mechanical Services Skills Network allows members to truly grow.

Neil Muir

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Our team doesn’t just produce drawings, we are on the ground assessing systems, analyzing options through customized models, designing construction documents, and reviewing new installations.

Joshua Yacknowitz

Principal

After a decade in manufacturing, I joined Arup to grow our industrial practice. Surrounded by talent and innovation, I’ve collaborated globally, gained real-world experience, and continue to learn and grow.

Erin McConahey

Fellow

I joined Arup just out of college because the projects seemed technically challenging. Thirty years on, each project remains an opportunity to turn our clients’ aspirations into reality.
