Each year, the Chairman’s Award honors an employee who embodies the values, commitment and excellence that define ES&S. This recognition is reserved for those who lead with integrity, inspire through action and shape our company’s future through their daily contributions.
This year, we’re proud to announce that Tucker Omel, director of sales engineering, is the 2025 Chairman’s Award recipient.
And if you’ve worked with Tucker — even once — this will come as no surprise.
Throughout his more than 20-year career at ES&S, Tucker has built a legacy that touches nearly every corner of the organization. For the past 10 years, he has served as a sales engineer, and his relentless pursuit of excellence has made a significant impact on nearly every major sale during that time. But what truly sets him apart is his approach. Each day, he demonstrates professionalism and a strong commitment to doing what is best for our customers, our company and our team.
Tucker was ES&S’ first-ever state certification manager and laid the foundation for what is now a cornerstone of our company’s certification procedures. Fast-forward, recognizing the need to bridge the gap between the technical and sales worlds, Tucker envisioned and established the sales engineer role, creating a team that is now essential to ES&S’ success.
As Director of Sales Engineering, Tucker leads by example, expertly navigating complex customer interactions and setting high standards for his team. His actions consistently reflect his values, and his work leaves a lasting mark — not just on our company, but on the people who have the privilege to work with him.
The Chairman’s Award isn’t just about tenure or titles — it’s about impact. And Tucker’s influence is significant and lasting.
Congratulations, Tucker — and thank you for all you’ve done to help make ES&S what it is today!
