Day (Night) in the life of a FIFO field service Heavy Diesel mechanic 🔧

A full night from Rise to rest in my life as a FIFO HD mechanic.
I do big swings away minimum 4 weeks at a time in the Pilbara some of the most remote harshest climate mines in the world.
Enjoy the journey a day in the life.

Edit** steering rods come of the “dog bone”/steer link, the cylinders go to the steer arms on the pinion on each wheel.

You seem to know what you are doing. Looks like a good outfit to work for. As per the heat out there, in some zones and safety boots, ever heard of Chelsea dealer boots? Slip on heavy heavy duty boots, no laces. They are waterproof leather and take a hell of a hard pasting. People rub raw candlewax on them to protect them even further.

Really like the video. A video when your an on-site fitter would be awesome. Also a run through of your tool bags and what you have on you for the work would be cool

Hey mate just a quick one, at the start of the year I started an apprentiships in agricultural mechanical technology for a locally owned business. Is that a trade that can lead to work in the mines or are they after different trade titles? Thanks for that

[@zoecropley7780]

Hi, thank you for your video. I really enjoyed it. I'm in awe of your watch, simply the best. I've decided you work very hard and hopefully earn good money so you should have a Rolex if you want. Well done. Thanks again :)
