Industries Hiring FIFO Workers
Most people think FIFO means mining. It does — but that's maybe half the picture. Oil and gas, remote construction, and the support services keeping those sites running all hire on fly-in arrangements, often with less competition than the headline mining roles.
Mining & Resources
Surface and underground roles — drill and blast operators, shot firers, dump truck drivers, and shift supervisors. Pay premiums are real here, particularly on sites without road access. Most employers run 2/1 or 8/6 rotations, though longer swings exist on newer projects still ramping up.
Oil & Gas
Offshore platform work and onshore rig positions are the bulk of openings. Roustabouts and roughnecks are entry points; experienced derrickmen and toolpushers command significantly higher rates. Offshore rotations are typically 2/2, but that can shift depending on the operator and production phase.
Construction
Remote civil and infrastructure builds — pipelines, access roads, mine processing plants — need tradespeople who can handle fly-in logistics and extended stints away. Concrete workers, riggers, scaffolders, and crane operators are consistently in demand. These projects often pay site allowances on top of base rates.
Camp Services
Every large FIFO site needs people to run it — cooks, camp attendants, cleaners, store hands, and logistics coordinators. These roles are often overlooked by applicants chasing the big trade rates, which means less competition and faster hiring. Some catering companies run their own FIFO rosters across multiple sites.
Engineering & Technical
Mechanical and electrical engineers, metallurgists, process control specialists — technical roles on remote sites typically attract salary packages well above what the same title earns in an office. Most positions require relevant qualifications and prior site exposure. Some employers offer graduate placements with FIFO arrangements from year one.
Health & Safety
Remote medics, HSE officers, and OHS advisors are required on any site above a certain headcount — and regulations have tightened considerably. Site medic roles in particular are hard to fill, which keeps rates high. Paramedic or nursing backgrounds with industrial experience are the most competitive profiles.
Common FIFO Rotation Schedules
The roster you work matters as much as the pay rate. Some schedules look great on paper and wreck your personal life. Others feel slow but are actually more sustainable over years. Here's what each rotation looks like in practice.
2 weeks on / 1 week off
The most widely used roster in Australian-style mining operations that have spread to US remote sites. Tiring over time, but the income-to-days-off ratio is hard to beat.
2 weeks on / 2 weeks off
Standard in offshore oil and gas. More sustainable for family life — two weeks home is genuinely time off, not just recovery.
4 weeks on / 1 week off
Common on remote construction projects in early build phases. The 1-week break feels short after a month on site. Usually compensated with higher daily rates.
8 days on / 6 days off
Popular in surface mining. The shorter swing means more flight cycles but steadier income rhythm. Works well for people within 2–3 hours of a regional airport.
3 weeks on / 3 weeks off
Preferred by workers with young children or secondary income sources. Found mostly on long-duration infrastructure and LNG projects.

Tips for Landing a FIFO Job
Book your pre-employment medical before you even apply
Almost every FIFO employer requires one, and they don't accept results from your GP. You need to use their approved provider. Wait times can run 2–3 weeks in some areas. Getting this done speculatively — before you have an offer — means you can move fast when one comes through.
Pick your rotation based on your life, not the pay rate
A 4/1 roster pays more per year than a 2/2, but spending four weeks straight on a remote site with one week to decompress is brutal if you have kids, a partner, or any life admin to manage. Be honest about what schedule you can actually sustain. Burning out after six months and quitting helps no one.
Stack your certifications before you start looking
White Card is the baseline. First aid and CPR push you ahead of unqualified candidates. Working at heights, confined space entry, and forklift tickets each open a different category of role. None of these take long to obtain and most cost under $300. They pay for themselves on the first paycheck.
Understand what "point of hire" actually means
Employers fly you from a designated city — Perth, Darwin, Townsville, Houston, depending on the project. If that's not where you live, the travel to get there is usually on you. Some employers are flexible on this and some aren't. Clarify before you accept, not after.
