The Weir Group PLC (Weir) is a FTSE 250 global engineering business headquartered in Glasgow. The business celebrated its 150th year in 2021 and the company’s global footprint spans more than 60 countries and employs more than 11,000 people.
Weir has reported continually strong revenue and profit growth in recent years. In 2020 the Group reported revenue of £2bn and profit before tax of £255m.

Weir represents a true global success story headquartered in Scotland.
The Corporate Development Manager position supports Weir Group’s M&A and other business development projects.
