Mitchell Rooney
Principal
BE, CPEng, CMEngNZ
Mitch joined our team in 2009 as a graduate engineer, right after graduating from the University of Auckland with his BE. Born in the Waikato but growing up in West Auckland, Mitch is back relishing the lifestyle of Waitākere with his wife Holly, and two children April and Benji. Always interested in buildings and the way they work and having grown up carrying a hammer for his dad who is a builder, moving into structural engineering was a natural career path.
Mitch says that starting as a graduate engineer at Markplan was great for his career, as it is the perfect environment to learn in and one where high levels of responsibility are given quickly. Mitch become a Chartered Professional Engineer early in his career and has progressed through the career path in front of him at Markplan, where he now leads the Markplan team as Principal.
