Accomplishment/Innovation
Lauren Osowski, GIS Analyst

The Act: SEH holds an on-call contract with a client and was asked to help with their struggling GIS information services program. Taking charge of this project, Lauren consistently delivered outstanding results for the client. She addressed challenges and guided staff, playing a significant role in the overdue development of their GIS system. Managing the entire project from the beginning, Lauren fostered a strong working relationship with the client’s staff. She met project deadlines effectively, leaving a positive impression on the client who commended her achievements.
Character
Dillon Reynolds, Resident Project Representative
Construction Services
The Act: Dillon joined SEH in March 2023, working from our Delafield, Wisconsin, office. When an opportunity presented itself to lead fieldwork for a project in Minot, North Dakota, Dillon stepped up without hesitation. He was willing to assist and committed to essentially living out of a suitcase for the initial two months to help ensure the project’s success from start to finish.
Dillon took ownership of the project, implementing effective methods for tracking quantities and seeking constructive feedback. His professionalism, positive work ethic, and attention to detail resonated well with the project team and contractors, earning him the respect and cooperation needed to deliver noteworthy results.
