Job Summary:
Panasonic is seeking an ISO Manager - Environmental & Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. This multi-site role will support Kansas and Nevada manufacturing operations.
Essential Duties:

• Serve as the internal program owner for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 implementation and certification across Kansas and Nevada manufacturing sites.
• Translate fit-gap findings into prioritized site-level action plans and coordinate consultant deliverables for system design, implementation, and certification readiness.
• Develop, maintain, and improve EMS/OHSMS documentation, including manuals, environmental aspects registers, HIRA registers, legal and other requirements registers, operational controls, emergency preparedness procedures, monitoring and measurement processes, internal audits, and management reviews.
• Coordinate certification body selection, contracting, Stage 1 / Stage 2 audit logistics, annual surveillance audits, and recertification activities.
• Establish cross-site governance such as an ISO Steering Committee, monthly EHS coordination, risk tracking, escalation paths, status reporting, and executive briefings.
• Lead internal audit planning, auditor qualification, cross-site audit participation, nonconformity closure, corrective actions, and ongoing PDCA-based continuous improvement.
• Maintain technical understanding of ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, forthcoming revisions, and related transition planning; support integration with ISO 9001 where appropriate.
• Coordinate with EHS, Operations, Engineering, Facilities, HR, Procurement, Quality, RBA, and corporate stakeholders to embed ISO requirements into site operations.

• Manage program budget inputs including consultant fees, certification body costs, training, audit travel, software/tools, and internal program costs.
• Evaluate and support appropriate digital tools or dashboards to improve management system monitoring, compliance workflows, and reporting.

Supervisory Responsibilities:

• No direct reports initially; however, the role will require matrixed coordination of site-based EHS, RBA, and operational stakeholders. Future expansion may be possible as the program matures.

Travel Requirement:

• Approximately 30-40% domestic travel between Kansas and Nevada sites is expected, with higher intensity during gap assessment, system rollout, and certification audit phases.

• To ensure the health and safety in the workplace and for the protection of our employees, wearing PPE is a possibility and may include equipment such as a full Tyvek suit, safety shoes, gloves, safety glasses, face mask, bump cap, and a full hazmat suit that includes a respirator.
