About us
Mechanical Engineering for Industrial Projects.
Who we are
ATLUS is a mechanical design engineering consultancy helping manufacturers, growing businesses and innovators turn ideas into practical, production-ready solutions.
We support projects from early concept through to manufacture and combine clear technical thinking with hands-on engineering experience.
Whether you are developing new equipment, improving an existing product or preparing a design for production, we provide the structure and insight needed to move forward with confidence.
Direct Expertise
ATLUS was founded by Sam Rigby, a mechanical design engineer with over 10 years’ experience across industrial machinery, heavy engineering and project management.
“I keep my approach straightforward, understand the real problem, then develop a solution that solves it without making it more complicated than it needs to be.”
How we work
Engineering projects are rarely simple, but the process of working together should be.
-
We Listen First
Before proposing solutions, we take the time to understand your goals, constraints, and project requirements
-
We Keep Things Practical
Our designs are developed with real-world manufacture, assembly, installation, and maintenance in mind.
-
We Work Collaboratively
We can lead a project, support your internal team, or provide specialist input exactly where its needed.
-
We Stay Involved
Our support doesn’t have to end when the drawings are issued. We can remain available throughout manufacture and installation.
Bulk Materials & Resource Processing
Manufacturing & Production
Industrial Machinery & OEM Equipment
Structures & Access
Process Plant & Utilities
Logistics, Warehousing & Distribution
Where we work
Our expertise spans across the industries that keep our modern world moving.

Some clients need a complete design package, others need specialist support for just one stage of a project.
We offer flexible engagement options to suit you and your project priorities.
-
Fixed Price Projects
A clear scope, agreed deliverables and a fixed price. Ideal for well-defined projects with specific outcomes.
-
Time & Materials
Suitable where requirements are expected to evolve or the work cannot be fully defined at the outset.
-
Ongoing Support
Reserved engineering capacity for a programme of work or recurring operational requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? If you can't find the answer you're looking for, get in touch with our team. We're always happy to discuss your project.
-
ATLUS works on defined design tasks, complete work packages and ongoing engineering programmes. Suitability depends on the scope, available information, programme and required responsibilities. An initial discussion is used to confirm whether the project is a suitable fit.
-
Yes. We first confirm the native format, software version, revision status and whether the supplied model is the controlling design record. ATLUS can modify existing models or develop new information around them, subject to the agreed scope and file compatibility.
-
Our core sectors are set out on the Industries page. ATLUS also considers adjacent industrial projects where the required mechanical or structural work matches our capabilities.
-
Yes. ATLUS can take responsibility for a defined work package or operate within client systems, standards and review routes. Roles, interfaces, deliverables and approval responsibilities are agreed before work begins.
-
No. ATLUS is UK-based and can support overseas projects where the scope, applicable standards, site access and professional obligations are clearly defined. Travel and site attendance are agreed project by project.
