FIFO at Fortescue
When you work FIFO, you'll be staying at one of our Pilbara site villages where you can enjoy lively social events and modern amenities like a gym, swimming pool, and football field. If you enjoy a mix of structured work periods and solid time off for rest & relaxation, FIFO work might be just what you’re looking for.
