What is a fly in fly out operator?

Fly In Fly Out (FIFO) Operators are workers who travel to remote job sites, often in mining, oil and gas, or construction industries, for a set period before returning home for leave. They do not permanently relocate to the worksite but instead commute, typically by plane, on a rostered schedule such as two weeks on and one week off. FIFO Operators perform a range of tasks, depending on their trade or role, and the arrangement allows companies to staff remote locations without requiring permanent relocation from employees. This work style is common in regions where resources are far from populated areas.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a fly in fly out operator, and why are they important?

To excel as a Fly In Fly Out Operator, you typically need relevant trade qualifications or certifications, experience in remote or mining environments, and a strong understanding of workplace safety procedures. Familiarity with site-specific machinery, safety management systems, and compliance with industry standards such as MSHA or OSHA is often required. Excellent teamwork, resilience, and adaptability are crucial soft skills for managing long shifts and extended periods away from home. These skills ensure operational efficiency, safety compliance, and personal well-being in challenging and isolated work settings.

What are some common challenges faced by fly in fly out operators, and how can they be managed?

Fly In Fly Out Operators often face challenges such as adjusting to shift work, managing time away from family, and adapting to remote or isolated environments. Effective communication with loved ones, maintaining a healthy routine, and taking advantage of on-site support services can help manage these challenges. Many employers also provide mental health resources and programs to support FIFO workers’ well-being. Building strong relationships with colleagues on-site can make the work environment more supportive and enjoyable.

Job description

Career Opportunities: Global Director - Asset Maintenance (101240)

Join a company that is passionately committed to the pursuit of a better world through positive change. With more than 70 years of business and technical expertise in mining , energy , and infrastructure ,our 10,000 colleagues in 150 countries tirelessly work toward bettering the industries in which we operate. With practical solutions that are safe, innovative and sustainable, we think globally while acting locally.Are you looking for an opportunity to join a diverse group of professionals who are committed to remaining exceptional? We look forward to hearing from you.

CORE brings together the necessary elements of a project to achieve nameplate value and deliver peak asset performance. We take a staged approach to verifying technical readiness and ensuring organizational preparedness, right up to achieving full operational capacity.

Our operations are organized into seven regions:

  • ECA: Eastern Canada
  • WCA: Western Canada
  • USA: United States
  • SAM: South America
  • AIM: Africa, India, and Middle East
  • EUR: Europe
  • AUA: Australia and Asia

Our culture is built on collaboration, technical excellence, and a commitment to shaping a better future. We take pride in our values and operate as a flat, connected organization where innovation and ownership are encouraged at every level.

Role Overview

We are conducting a global search for a Global Director of Asset Maintenance.

In this role, the Global Director of Asset Maintenance is accountable for defining and executing Hatch's global Asset Maintenance strategy, establishing technical excellence, governance, service offerings, methodologies, and delivery capabilities that support clients through the transition to operations phase of capital projects.

A critical expectation of the role is to champion Asset Maintenance as a critical component of successful project delivery, ensuring maintenance organizations, systems, work processes, spare parts, maintenance facilities, workforce capabilities, maintenance strategies, and asset data are established and ready to support safe, reliable and efficient operations at startup.

Asset Maintenance services are frequently delivered as an integrated component of Operational Readiness programs, ensuring maintenance readiness is embedded throughout the project lifecycle and integrated with commissioning, completions, and ramp-up activities. In other cases, Asset Maintenance services are delivered as standalone project-focused engagements.

Unlike traditional Asset Management advisory services that focus primarily on existing operations, organizational transformation, distressed assets, or operational performance improvement programs, the Asset Maintenance practice within CORE is principally focused on supporting greenfield developments and brownfield projects, helping clients successfully transition assets from project execution, through startup and ramp-up, into reliable and sustainable operations.

The Global Director will be responsible for ensuring alignment between Asset Maintenance and Hatch's broader CORE service lines, including Operational Readiness, Commissioning, Completions, and Ramp-up, delivering integrated solutions that support clients across the entire path to operations.

We are looking for professionals who think and act like owners, thrive on creating new approaches and improving processes, and can bridge technical execution with strategic foresight to deliver exceptional client value. Most importantly, you will inspire, develop and lead our teams with a focus on developing future great asset maintenance professionals, sustaining the growth of our expertise for decades to come.

Candidates must be willing to travel to meet teams and clients including remote project sites as required, and participate in site assignments, sometimes requiring fly-in/fly-out arrangements for periods of time.

  • Ensure maintenance requirements are incorporated into project development, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and startup activities.
  • Project Support
  • Provide governance and expert support to major greenfield and brownfield projects globally.
  • Conduct reviews, readiness assessments, maturity evaluations, and assurance activities to identify risks and opportunities for improvement.
  • Provide expert guidance on the maintenance aspects of operating strategies, maintenance workforce development, organizational design, spares strategy and demand management processes, work management processes, maintenance facilities, and operational handover requirements.
  • Support project teams in establishing the foundations required for long‑term asset performance before operations assume ownership.
  • Define Hatch's global strategy for maintenance‑related digital solutions and data‑driven performance improvement.
  • Work in collaboration with the Digital group to provide services to clients with regards to the effective implementation and optimization of CMMS, EAM, Asset Performance Management (APM), and maintenance analytics solutions.

  • Act as a trusted advisor to project sponsors, operational readiness teams, maintenance leaders, and operational stakeholders.
  • Provide strategic guidance on maintenance readiness, maintenance organizations, maintenance systems, reliability improvement, and operational performance.
