Bartlett graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in Regional Development (GIS focus) and joined his father in launching Excel Modular Scaffold & Leasing Corporation’s labor division as IT Director. Over the following decade, the organization expanded into the Bartlett Group family, serving clients across energy, refining, and heavy manufacturing nationwide.

Today, Ben’s responsibilities span every Bartlett Group entity and service line, from scaffold and labor operations to refractory, manufacturing, and specialty services. He serves as both technology leader and operational partner, and is positioned as the eventual successor to his father at the helm of the broader organization.

Under his direction, Bartlett Group operates its own infrastructure and in-house application development team, enabling the organization to build and adapt platforms rather than rely solely on off-the-shelf software. Whether standing up a new subsidiary, modernizing a legacy system, or evaluating emerging tools like reality capture and AI-assisted operations, Ben’s focus remains consistent: practical technology that makes Bartlett’s people more effective and its customers better served.
