FIFO Resume Example – Utility Worker (ATS-Friendly)
Utility Worker resumes often miss callbacks because the tickets/clearances are hard to scan and the duties read like a job ad. This example shows a clean FIFO layout recruiters can skim in seconds.

Why Utility Worker resumes get ignored
Most people aren’t rejected because they’re unqualified — they’re rejected because the resume isn’t structured for screening. This example shows what “scan-friendly” looks like.
- Tickets/licences aren’t obvious in the top third.
- Bullets read like a job ad (tasks only, no reliability signals).
- No FIFO/site readiness language (kitchen/crib/dining/housekeeping).
- Too much text — recruiters skim in seconds.
What recruiters scan first
- Tickets & licences: easy to find (top third of page).
- FIFO/site language that matches the role (cleaning, housekeeping, kitchen utility, crib/dining).
- Short bullets that show outcomes and reliability, not long task lists.
- Availability/roster flexibility (only if you can genuinely support it).
Suggested structure
Headline: Utility Worker | Mine Site Cleaning | Housekeeping | Kitchen Utility (only include what you’ve done).
Professional Summary: 4–5 lines focused on safety mindset, reliability, stamina, teamwork.
Key Skills: short noun phrases (e.g. 'Food safety & hygiene', 'Mine site cleaning routines', 'Manual handling').
Tickets & Licences: list what you actually hold. If not held, do not claim it.
Employment History: 2–4 roles, each with 5–8 bullets where info allows.

Bullet examples
Use these as templates. Keep wording factual — don’t invent sites, tickets, hours, rosters, or outcomes.
- Maintained dining and communal areas to hygiene standards, completing routine checks and cleaning schedules without supervision.
- Supported peak meal periods by clearing, resetting and restocking areas quickly while maintaining service standards.

Common mistakes
- Copying the job ad into your resume.
- Burying tickets/licences at the bottom or mixing them into paragraphs.
- Bullets that only list tasks (no outcomes, no reliability signals).
- Claiming site experience or clearances you don’t have.
FAQs
Should I include rosters (2/1, 3/1, 8/6)?
Only if you’re genuinely available for those rosters. If unsure, keep it general: 'Available for FIFO rosters' (truthfully).
Do I need to list every cleaning task?
No. Use 4–8 bullets that show standards, safety, reliability and pace. Recruiters want evidence you can handle the environment.
