Full job description

Founded in 2003 Wasabi's vision is to lovingly create and serve delicious Asian food for a busy nation.

Wasabi now has 42 thriving restaurants across London and major UK cities and 4 in New York and in 2019, we introduced Wasabi Home Bento the grocery channel, launching exclusively in Sainsbury’s. Building on that success, the grocery business broadened its reach to Tesco in September 2022, followed by exciting launches in Co-op and Morrisons in 2024. Wasabi grocery has seen phenomenal growth and is now a £62m RSV brand. Wasabi proudly stands as the No. 2 chilled ready-meal brand in the market, consistently attracting new customers to the category through an innovative East Asian range.

Wasabi’s menu is celebrated for its unique character, exceptional freshness, and bold flavours. Our diverse range is designed to delight a wide audience, delivering both comfort and excitement with every bite.

We have an ambitious 5-year growth strategy, focusing on new restaurants, franchise partnerships, and international expansion.

As we prepare for our next phase of growth and innovation, we have an incredibly exciting opportunity for a Machine Minder to join our Central Production Unit based in Park Royal.

The Role:

Diagnose and resolve basic machine faults within trained competency levels.

Work closely with Engineering to minimise downtime and improve reliability.

Escalate recurring faults and support investigation into root causes.

Assist with machine trials, modifications and process improvements where required.

Performance & Continuous Improvement

Accurately record and report production performance data.

Participate in root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives.

Support achievement of departmental KPIs and operational objectives.

Health, Safety & Environment

Operate all machinery in a safe manner and in accordance with company procedures.

Complete pre-start safety checks and ensure machine guarding is fitted and functioning correctly.

Report hazards, near misses, unsafe conditions and equipment defects immediately.

Maintain excellent standards of housekeeping and workplace organisation.

Actively contribute to a positive safety culture and challenge unsafe behaviours.
