Facility Manager: Gordon Bartlett

It’s World FM (Facility Manager) week and to celebrate we are giving a few DCM Inc. clients the spotlight! Grab a coffee and learn more about Facility Manager Gordon Bartlett from Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

Tell us a bit about yourself?

A seasoned FM professional with over 30 years related experience industrial, commercial and healthcare. Gordon is an avid musician (guitarist) with some professional experience in the 80’s. Married 30 years with 3 sons, all enrolled in post-secondary education. He’s recently moved into “cottage country” with plans to rekindle a long time love for fishing.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

It’s not always a competition.

To get ahead you have to cooperate.

What is your favorite quote?

“That’s all turnips” Vladimir to Estragon in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot – after emptying his pockets looking for a carrot, there are none, and he points at the pile of turnips he has removed and says this…accept what we have because there is nothing better. Part of a much larger dialogue.

How would your co-workers describe you?

Intelligent, experienced. Sometimes, a bit of a goof.

When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?

I fix things. Mechanical things can always be repaired. Though they think that they are just looking to expedite repairs or installations, other managers in the organization look to me for improvements to operations and processes

We finish the interview, and you step outside the office and find a lottery ticket that ends up winning $10 million. What would you do?

In our office, this is often referred to as the “lottery bus.” I would take care of my family financially and then travel.
