New City of Concord Sewer Systems Supervisor

Concord General Services’ Sewer Systems Supervisor, Kevin Bartlett (featured left in picture), will be retiring mid-February after 40 years with the City of Concord. Kevin started out as a temp in 1976 as a landscaper for the Penacook Cemetery, became a truck driver for our Highway & Utilities Division in 1977, then a Senior Maintenance Aid for the sewer crew in 1978 until 1982 when he became a Building & Grounds Foreman. Kevin worked his way from Sewer Maintenance Foreman in 1994 to Sewer Systems Supervisor in 1998 and has remained in this position for 18 years. Kevin has been a valuable asset to Concord General Services and will be missed.

The new Sewer Systems Supervisor, Bob Demers (featured right in picture), started last week and is being trained by Kevin before his departure. Bob has been with the City of Concord for 20 years so far, starting out in 1996 as a permanent Equipment Operator for the sewer crew. He became a Maintenance Technician a year later, a Utility Technician in 2000, and then the Sewer Maintenance Supervisor in 2008. Bob’s primary responsibility as the new Sewer Systems Supervisor will include supervising and coordinating the sewer crew on construction, maintenance, and repair of the City sanitary sewer and drainage system. This includes cleaning, inspecting, reconstructing, and installing mains, manholes, catch basins, and laterals. Congratulations on the promotion, Bob! You will serve the community well.
