Turner Mining Group and Turner Staffing Group Appoint Dawn Kachel as Chief Marketing Officer

Bloomington, IN – Turner Mining Group and Turner Staffing Group announced today that Dawn Kachel has joined the company as Chief Marketing Officer. In this role, Kachel will work directly with Keaton Turner and Thomas Haun to define and execute marketing direction across both organizations.

Kachel brings more than 20 years of experience in marketing, brand strategy, and business development, with deep roots in the construction and heavy civil industries. Most recently, she served as Founder and Strategic Consultant at her own marketing firm, where she partnered with growth-stage construction companies to build brands, align teams, and create marketing systems that drive measurable results. Prior to that, she served as Director of Marketing at Journey Group Companies, leading marketing and business development strategy across a portfolio of operating entities.

At Turner, Kachel will be responsible for developing and maintaining brand standards across Turner Mining Group and Turner Staffing Group, elevating the company’s voice and thought leadership across all channels. Her scope will span content strategy, digital presence, internal culture communications, recruitment marketing, and business development support. She will also lead efforts to align marketing and storytelling with Turner’s continued growth across North America.

“Dawn brings a rare combination of strategic clarity and hands-on execution,” said Keaton Turner, Founder and CEO of Turner Mining Group. “She understands how to build a brand that reflects our people, culture and reality of who we are. Keeping that authenticity is important to us. We’re excited and ready to have her help align our teams and elevate how we tell our story as we continue to grow as a company and a brand."

“Turner has built something very real here, and that’s what drew me in. My goal is to help tell stories that reflect that authenticity while aligning marketing closely with the company’s growth and vision. I believe the best marketing earns trust, protects culture, builds real relationships, and reflects the same grit and heart as the people behind the work every day,” said Kachel.

Kachel’s appointment comes as Turner continues to scale its operations and expand its presence across both mining services and workforce solutions. Her background working directly with construction and heavy civil companies positions her to communicate Turner’s work with credibility and precision, connecting field-level performance to a brand story that resonates with clients, recruits, and partners alike.

“Dawn joins us with an established knowledge of this business and the industries we serve,” said Thomas Haun, President of Turner Staffing Group. “She knows the people, the culture, and the work. That gives her the foundation to tell our story in a way that’s authentic and effective, and we’re looking forward to what she’ll build.”

Kachel’s appointment reflects Turner’s commitment to investing in the people and infrastructure required to support the next phase of growth across both organizations.
