About

I’m Isaac Collins, an operations and reliability professional with 10+ years’ experience improving equipment availability, coordinating maintenance and contractors, and supporting high-volume manufacturing and logistics environments. I’ve worked across industrial maintenance planning, root-cause problem solving, preventive/corrective maintenance, and operational performance monitoring to keep production running reliably and safely.

I also bring strong cross-functional leadership, supplier and contractor coordination, and quality/compliance focus—using tools like SAP ERP and CMMS to keep records accurate and actions measurable. Based in Cotonou, Benin, I’m open to remote, hybrid, and international opportunities, and I enjoy collaborating with engineering, production, logistics, and management teams to deliver continuous improvement results.
