Serhii Liubavin

Hands-on hardware technician with many years of practical computer hardware experience, including five years of professional technical work at a major industrial enterprise. Experienced in the physical installation, rack mounting and decommissioning of servers and network equipment, structured copper cabling at volume, component-level diagnostics and repair, and testing and documentation before return to service. Comfortable with heavy physical work, strict procedure and shift patterns.

Seeking a site-based data center technician role. I am available for shift work, including 24/7 rotation, nights and weekends, and I am ready to relocate anywhere in the Netherlands. My reading and writing in English are at a professional level, so tickets, procedures and written communication are not a problem for me.

My spoken English is B1 and improving. I do not speak Dutch. I have the full right to work in the Netherlands under the EU Temporary Protection Directive: no work permit, visa or sponsorship is required, the employer only notifies UWV.

I do not have a driving licence, so I look for site-based work at one fixed location. Available to start immediately.

Hardware Technician and Technical Projects at Self-employed (2015-01 – Present)

• Repaired and upgraded computers for private clients, full cycle from fault diagnosis and component selection through build, BIOS setup, operating system installation and stability testing, verified before handover.
• Kept ageing hardware in service by replacing individual failed components instead of whole machines, saving clients the cost of a full replacement.
• Stayed current with each new hardware generation so builds are specified on current platforms rather than outdated ones.
• Ran technical and infrastructure-adjacent digital projects, handling the technical side end to end.

Computer Systems and Network Engineer at Interpipe (2010-01 – 2015-12)

Major industrial enterprise, pipe and railway products manufacturer, multi-site operations.

• Installed, rack mounted and decommissioned servers and Cisco network equipment during site build and refresh work, covering physical installation, cabling and power-up.
• Delivered structured copper cabling at volume across shop floors and office buildings, including Rn, patch panels and cable management, reaching several cable reels a week at peak.
• Owned a recurring failure on the shop floor where welding work kept damaging network cabling. Traced the cause and had the affected links rebuilt, so production stopped losing connectivity.
• Kept the site PC, thin-client and shop-floor systems running through in-house block-level repair, diagnosing the fault, replacing the failed component including power supplies, and testing before return to service, so machines came back into use the same day instead of being written off.
• Acted as the on-site point of contact for end-user hardware problems, logging requests and keeping accurate records of every job performed.
• Handled hardware procurement, specifying and ordering equipment and spare parts so the right components were on hand when failures happened.
• Installed and configured Windows across the fleet, deployed drivers and software and set up user accounts.
