Description


About Us:
The Caturus platform founded by Kimmeridge – an alternative asset manager focused on the energy sector – supports Kimmeridge’s overarching goal of providing low-cost energy on demand with the lowest carbon footprint.

Kimmeridge’s vision in creating Caturus is to build the only independent, fully integrated natural gas and LNG export platform in the U.S. through a combination of its upstream operations and via Commonwealth LNG, a 9.5 million tonnes per annum liquefied natural gas export terminal in southwestern Louisiana on the U.S. Gulf Coast.  The combined entities are committed to delivering responsibly sourced, low-emission fuel to domestic and international markets.

Caturus is a Houston-based, private exploration and production company seeking to materially grow production through development of deep, high pressure, dry gas windows of the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk, as well as Haynesville formations located in Texas and Louisiana while maintaining a relentless focus on safety.

Commonwealth LNG was founded by industry veterans who decided to re-engineer the LNG construction model. Using proven best practices, Commonwealth is committed to building a world-class LNG export facility while focusing on safety, managing risk and achieving best-in-class environmental standards.

  • Maintain accurate and organized records of all tax filings, payments, and correspondence related to the construction project and any/all tax deadlines.
  • Collaborate with other departments (e.g., accounting, construction management, procurement) to ensure proper tax treatment of transactions.
  • Provide guidance and support to Tax Director on tax matters.
  • Identify and implement strategies to minimize tax liabilities and maximize tax savings.
  • Manage data preparation and documentation for tax audits, if any, using statutory, regulatory or judicial authority to support the company’s position on issues arising during a tax audit.
  • Research, analyze, and apply for relevant state and local tax incentive programs related to manufacturing facility construction and job creation (e.g., Enterprise Zone, Quality Jobs, investment tax credits, property tax abatements).

Qualifications:
Education, Certificates, and Licenses:
  • Bachelor's degree in finance or accounting required.

  • Experience working with state and local tax incentive programs is highly desirable.
  • Experience with tax software and ERP systems (e.g., SAP, SageIntacct) is preferred.
