Manager-Health & Safety, ILS

Overview

Tallgrass Integrated Logistics Solutions (ILS) is building a large‑scale, multi‑billion‑dollar industrial power‑generating facility for a dedicated user. The project is a behind‑the‑meter private use network (PUN) that will generate gigawatts (GW) of electricity using multiple power‑generating technologies, including major chemical processes. Tallgrass ILS contracts an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor to perform the majority of the construction on a lump‑sum turnkey (LSTK) basis, while smaller subcontracts are handled directly by the Owner.
