Atlas Industrial Outsourcing

What Atlas Industrial Outsourcing does

Atlas Industrial Outsourcing is a US-based industrial staffing firm headquartered in Mobile, Alabama, founded on November 17, 2017 by Brandyn Ulmer (Owner & President) and Darrell Roberts. The company provides trained industrial cleaning technicians on a temporary, seasonal, or temp-to-perm basis to paper mills, power plants, steel mills, oil and gas facilities, mines, advanced manufacturing sites, and FDA-regulated facilities. Service lines include hydroblasting (10K, 20K, and 40K lancing, shotgunning, and automation), industrial vacuum work, tank cleaning, and safety specialist personnel, delivered through three engagement models: project-based short term, seasonal long-term, and the Conversion Tech Program for permanent placement.

Atlas differentiates through a credentialed workforce pipeline built on NCCER Accredited Training Sponsor status, WJTA craft and field verification certifications, OSHA 10/30, MSHA Part 46 and 48B, and HAZWOPER training programs, supported by a four-tier technician career path (Level 1 through Team Leader). Internally, Atlas deploys proprietary Atlas Mission Packs, a digital accountability tool covering timekeeping, on-the-job training reporting, coaching/commendations, and safety tracking, combined with fleet GPS and 2-way camera monitoring on vehicles.

Revenue is generated through bill rates on deployed technicians plus commercial safety training fees, with quote-based, sales-led distribution via direct enterprise engagement, website quote requests, and recruiting platforms such as Paylocity. Atlas reports support of over 1,000 projects across more than 40 states since founding, operates from a single Mobile, AL headquarters with stated plans for multiple US locations by 2025, and is launching an Atlas Industrial Vacuum division under a distribution agreement with Australian OEM SolidsVac. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped with no disclosed external capital.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Clean Harbors: Large publicly traded provider of environmental and industrial services including industrial cleaning, waste management, and field services to refineries and chemical plants. Overlaps Atlas in industrial cleaning and turnaround work but operates at a much larger scale and across many end markets.
• PeopleReady: National blue-collar staffing provider focused on industrial, construction, and manufacturing labor. Comparable to Atlas in supplying industrial workers, though PeopleReady's roles span many more occupations beyond industrial cleaning.
• Aerotek: Large US staffing firm placing industrial, technical, and professional workers across many sectors. Comparable in staffing industrial roles, though significantly larger and broader in scope than Atlas's industrial-cleaning focus.

Direct peers

• Team Industrial Services: Provider of specialty industrial services including on-site cleaning, NDT, and turnaround support to refineries, power plants, and chemical facilities. Comparable to Atlas in the industrial cleaning and shutdown/turnaround segment, though Team also self-performs work with its own crews.
• MPW Industrial Services: Major US industrial cleaning company providing hydroblasting, tank cleaning, vacuum, and facility maintenance services across manufacturing and process industries. Closely comparable in core service lines to Atlas, with overlap in customer base and service model.
• Tradesmen International: One of the largest US providers of skilled construction and industrial craft labor on a temporary and contract basis. Directly comparable to Atlas in providing trained craft technicians to industrial and construction customers on a project basis.

Regional players

• Labor Finders: US staffing franchise focused on light industrial, construction, and skilled trades labor. Comparable to Atlas in industrial and trades staffing, with a lighter, more generalist orientation and a branch-franchise footprint rather than a specialty industrial-cleaning niche.

Others

• DXP Enterprises: Industrial distributor and MRO service provider serving rotating equipment, bearing, and power transmission needs of industrial customers. Adjacent to Atlas in serving the same refinery, plant, and mill customer base and in supporting maintenance and turnaround operations.
