As a Control Systems Engineer, Julyann plays a critical role in bringing MATHESON’s ASUs online safely and efficiently. Her work goes far beyond understanding control logic; it demands a deep knowledge of how every instrument, valve, and system within the plant works together. Working closely with teammates ensures each adjustment supports the plant as a whole, making the process both precise and rewarding. It’s a shared responsibility where collaboration is a key component of the job. The wide variety of projects keeps things dynamic, opening the door for continued learning and growth.
One project, however, stands out among the rest. Julyann traveled to MATHESON’s HyCO plant in Talara, Peru, to help resolve a challenging automation issue. It was a professional milestone and a cultural adventure wrapped in one. Beyond the technical work, she found herself immersed in a unique environment filled with some of the best seafood she’d ever eaten. The trip not only expanded her expertise but also gave her unforgettable stories to bring back to the team.
Outside of work, Julyann can be found digging through antique malls and estate sales for unique vintage furniture and home décor. She balances her active lifestyle of hiking, cycling, and working out with a love of baking, something she picked up during the pandemic and now shares with family and friends. Her mantra? A humorous quote from Lil Wayne: “Real G’s move in silence like lasagna,” a reminder that “if you keep your head down and put in good work, good things will come your way.”
Julyann’s passion for staying on the forefront of control systems technology helps ensure MATHESON stays up to date in the latest versions of software, hardware, and control philosophies. She values the company’s commitment to safety, opportunities for hands-on learning outside of her primary skill set, and the strong sense of teamwork that’s carried her through some of the most complex projects. With curiosity, creativity, and just the right amount of humor, Julyann brings energy and expertise to every site she visits.
