So glad I got my current FIFO roll,

5 on 2 off then 4 on 3 off. (So essentially I work Monday to Friday, and every second week I have a long weekend)

Nah I don't work nights either mate.

I recently finished my university degree and work FIFO in and out of Karratha & Dampier from Perth as a... Well I have three job titles but they all mean the same thing.. Chemical Engineer/Process Engineer/Metallurgist.. as apart of Rio Tinto's Graduate Program.

Love not being at uni anymore, but luckily enough there was light at the end of the tunnel..

5-2-4-3 isnt a bad roster, yeah you get to be home nice and often on the weekends, the long weekends are good, but the short (usual length) weekends just arent long enough because you wanna catch up with mate, gotta have stay at home an chill with the Mrs time and then theres time you wanna devote to your car and keeping it clean while the Mrs drives it as a daily back an forth to uni :p

I know what u mean about 2 days not being enough.. ive only been doing this job for a year and i couldnt go back to only having 2 days break.. Good money, good roster, good workmates (mostly).. Im happy with my job..

Yeah, there are some alright gigs going around for FIFO operators to.. 2weeks on 1week off? Yeah, I know, not as good as an even time roster tho, i like your one, the current operators at my site here, coz its a residential site for operators, is 2 days on, 3 days off 2 nights on 2 days off 3 days on 2 days off 3 nights on 3 days off.... or something like that, its just a complete mess..
