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.

The Senior HR Business Partner is a dynamic, dual-mandate role within the Caturus Human Resources team. In the business partner capacity, this individual serves as a trusted HR advisor and day-to-day generalist resource to assigned client groups across upstream, midstream, LNG, and corporate functions, supporting employee relations, performance management, organizational effectiveness, and talent initiatives. Equally important, this individual brings Training and Development experience to Caturus — supporting the build of infrastructure, content, and delivery mechanisms needed for a high-performing, safety-conscious, and leadership-ready workforce.

A particular area of focus will be the development and ongoing delivery of supervisory and leadership training programs that equip people managers at all levels to lead effectively in a high-growth energy company environment. Reporting to the VP, Human Resources, this role is ideal for an experienced HR professional who is energized by both strategic partnership and building programs from the ground up.
