The city has tapped Camden Doherty, a seasoned member of its Public Service Department, to take on the essential role of Facility Supervisor at The Well, a newly constructed 110,000 square-foot recreation and wellness center designed as a state-of-the-art hub for community activity. Doherty, bringing seven years of experience with the City, is now in charge of overseeing general maintenance and operations, which entails managing the building’s automation systems and leading a six-person custodial staff, their efforts focused on keeping the place in top condition for patrons and staff alike, according to a recent announcement by the City of Hilliard.
Even before the center opens its doors on September 18, Doherty has been immersed in developing procedural standards, laying out maintenance schedules, and acclimating to the advanced technological equipment which is a highlight of The Well; he has stated, “This building is so state-of-the-art with so much highly complex equipment in there. I just want to make sure I’m on top of it all right away” an approach that exemplifies his proactive stance on facility care, a statement obtained by the City of Hilliard's news release reflects. Amidst this, the new Facility Supervisor isn't shying away from responsibilities as The Well gears up for its inaugural introduction to the Hilliard community.
