Hitchhiker's Guide to FIFO

02/07/2026

It's live. The first edition of Hitchhiker's Guide to FIFO is out now.
Chapter One: What Is FIFO? The basics nobody actually explains properly, what fly in fly out really means, how it differs across mining, oil & gas, and renewables, and what you're actually signing up for.

Fourteen years in oil and gas, onshore and offshore, and here's what nobody told me before I started: half the useful information about this industry only exists as word of mouth or lived experience. You either know someone, or you're guessing.
This page exists to fix that. It's the home for the Hitchhiker's Guide to FIFO newsletter, breaking down mining, oil and gas, and renewables so you actually understand how the industry fits together before you commit to a direction.
Because that's the real problem most people run into. It's not just "how do I get into FIFO," it's "which bit of FIFO is actually right for me." There are dozens of roles, pathways, and sectors, and picking the wrong one costs you time and money finding out the hard way. This page is here to help you navigate that before you're in too deep to change course cheaply.
No recruiter spin, no "adventure of a lifetime" nonsense. Just what the industry actually looks like, and where you might fit into it.
First newsletter edition dropping soon. If you want the full deep dive across every sector and role once it's ready, the FIFO Encyclopedia will have it.
