NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association announces the hiring of Kathy Stieler as Director of Safety, Health & Compliance, a new staff position established by the Association. Stieler officially begins her duties with NATE today.
Stieler, a long-time industry subject matter expert and safety professional, joins NATE after serving as Director, ERI Installations and Safety since 2012. During her tenure at ERI Installations, Kathy’s leadership was instrumental in managing the company’s tower crews through a safe and successful broadcast repack transition.
As the NATE Director of Safety, Health & Compliance, Stieler will be tasked with directing, developing and overseeing the general health and safety policies and procedures of the association to ensure its safety materials and best practices documents are in compliance with OSHA and other applicable state and local regulations and standards. In her new role, Stieler will also be available to provide technical subject matter expertise to the Association’s member companies, as well as helping these businesses navigate the oftentimes onerous compliance onboarding process.
“Today, I get to embark on an amazing journey that will allow me to work alongside the NATE staff and to work for the association’s member companies whom I respect so much,” stated Stieler. “I am excited and honored to have this opportunity to assist the NATE membership as we work toward our common goals to ensure the continued well-being of tower and communications infrastructure personnel, and to progress toward safer standards and practices within the industry. My passion for safety is well known by all who know me. I hope to pass that passion along to everyone as we work side by side,” Stieler added.
“NATE is elated to welcome Kathy Stieler to the team,” said Chairman Jimmy Miller from Gulfport, MS. “Through the establishment of this Director of Safety, Health & Compliance position, NATE is doubling down on safety and investing directly into our growing membership of companies. Kathy will be a tremendous asset and I encourage member companies to leverage her expertise to enhance their respective safety cultures,” added Miller.
