What we do at Weir We are a global leader in mining technology for a sustainable future. We help our customers extract the resources the world needs more efficiently and more sustainably. Our planet’s future depends on the transition to renewable energy, and that transition can only happen with the metals and minerals our customers deliver. So, we work side by side with mines across the globe to move less rock, use less energy, use water wisely and create less waste. Together, we drive the shift to smart, efficient and more sustainable mining. Make your impact In this role, your impact will be felt across the EMECA leadership team and our operations in Spain and Portugal.

Arrange international travel, accommodation, visas and expenses through approved channels, ensuring everything is accurate and delivered on time. Meeting and Event Coordination: Organise leadership meetings, business reviews, customer visits and regional events, including agendas, pre-read materials, logistics and video conferencing. Record decisions and actions, maintain action trackers and follow up on deadlines. Office Management and Workplace Services: Oversee the day-to-day operation of our Madrid office and provide administrative support across Spain and Portugal. Manage suppliers and service arrangements, track costs and renewals, and support purchasing and supplier onboarding through COUPA. Monitor spend against agreed budgets and identify appropriate savings opportunities. HR and Employee Administration: Act as a local administrative contact for routine HR queries, coordinating onboarding and offboarding, supporting employee benefits and maintaining HR systems such as Sesame. You’ll handle confidential employee information appropriately and collect and verify payroll inputs for timely submission. Finance Coordination: Support WBS and Finance with accounts payable, receivable and banking documentation, while following our established authorisation processes and segregation of duties. Workplace Safety: Support office safety and visitor arrangements, reporting hazards or incidents promptly and contributing to a safe, professional and welcoming workplace. Safety First: Demonstrate 100% commitment to our zero harm behaviours and our ambition to develop a world-class safety culture. What you’ll bring Must-haves Strong experience across executive support and office administration, ideally within an international or matrix organisation. Excellent diary, travel and meeting coordination skills, with the confidence to manage competing priorities and escalate conflicts appropriately. Fluent written and spoken Spanish and English. Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365, including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams. Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
