About The Position

The Operations Manager is responsible for leading and directing all operational
activities at the Tallgrass Cheyenne Energy Center-an off-grid, large-scale
AI-dedicated critical power, multi‑unit generation campus that is planned to
produce approximately 2.5 GW of initial capacity with expansion capability up to
10 GW from a fleet of simple‑cycle gas turbines and combined‑cycle gas turbine
(CCGT) technologies. This role ensures the safe, reliable, efficient, and
environmentally compliant operation of all generating assets in alignment with
Tallgrass Energy’s operational excellence standards, data center commercial
commitments, and long-term asset strategy.

The Operations Manager provides strategic and daily leadership to the control
room and field operations teams, supports optimization of plant output and heat
rate, and plays a critical role in maintaining high availability and
flexibility. The Operations Manager works closely with Maintenance, Planning,
Scheduling, Procurement, Reliability Engineering, Supply Chain, EHS, and the O&M
Contractor to meet Tallgrass Energy’s safety, regulatory, environmental, and
mission critical data center commercial objectives.

The Operations Manager establishes and sustains Human Performance (HP) and
Tallgrass culture expectations across plant operations. The manager ensure HP
principles and Tallgrass values are embedded in operating procedures, training
programs, shift turnovers, and abnormal and emergency response. This role
balances safety, reliability, learning, and production demands by reinforcing
conservative decision‑making and disciplined operations. The Operations Manager
leads learning‑focused investigations of operational events and near misses,
addressing latent procedural, system, and organizational contributors and
reinforcing leadership accountability for sustained operational excellence.

The Operations Manager is accountable for plant‑wide operational execution
quality and minimal rework, ensuring production priorities are aligned with safe
and reliable execution. Performance is measured through key indicators
including plant operations rework rate, first‑pass yield of operational
evolutions, event recurrence, schedule adherence, and operational readiness
metrics. KPI trends and HP insights are used to drive leadership accountability,
continuous improvement, and long‑term operational reliability.
