Passionate about rural places?

Every project we take on is driven by a shared purpose – to create remarkable spaces and enterprises that help people and places thrive.

As a growing multidisciplinary consultancy – spanning planning, architecture, landscape design and rural development, we bring creativity and expertise together to deliver meaningful change. And right now, we’re growing.

Following our recent merger with Celnor, Rural Solutions is entering an exciting new phase. With fresh opportunities opening up across the business, there’s never been a better time to join us.

Our latest vacancy is for a Senior Planner (Leeds), but before you jump into the detail, please read on for a brief insight into life at Rural Solutions, and to hear from Lisa, who has worked in the planning team for over a decade.

What’s it really like to work here?

Our team is approachable, creative, collaborative and a community. Our work is varied, rewarding and meaningful. The variety of our projects means that one day our team might be developing a strategy to unlock a complex rural planning challenge: the next, visiting a stunning countryside site and helping bring a vision to life.
