Field Service Engineer UK (Leeds region)

Why Sakura?
When it comes to diagnosing cancer, there’s no time to waste.
At Sakura, we believe every patient deserves the fastest, most accurate diagnosis possible. That’s why we develop high-quality, fully automated solutions for anatomic pathology. We help labs and hospitals worldwide work faster, more precisely and with greater confidence.

Our mission is simple but powerful: advancing cancer diagnostics. It's what drives us, unites us and gives meaning to our work every single day.

What we do
We empower pathology professionals with integrated systems that streamline cancer diagnostics. From biopsy to diagnosis, we help reduce turnaround times and improve diagnostic accuracy so treatment can start sooner. Our work impacts real lives, and we take that responsibility seriously.

The opportunity
As a Field Service Engineer, you’ll be the face of Sakura in your region, supporting labs and hospitals in and around Leeds and the M62 corridor, including Manchester and Liverpool. You’ll manage installation, training, service and technical support for our equipment. You’ll work independently, but always with the support of a UK team of nine experienced engineers.

When you’re off, your team has you covered. And when one of them is away, we count on you. That’s why we ask for flexibility, including the occasional overnight stay, typically around once a month, if the work requires it.

In your first year, you’ll attend six one-week training sessions at our Sakura Academy in the Netherlands. These sessions will give you a strong foundation and all the tools you need to succeed and grow in your role.
