Jordan Dowsett shares his typical day and what he eats as a FIFO electrician working in the mines
A FIFO employee has provided a glimpse into his daily life by living and working in a mine where he is served an impressive banquet of food for every meal.
Jordan Dowsett gets up at 4am to work a 12-hour shift as an electrician in central Queensland and is well fed at the mining camp where he lives.
Fans were in awe of the smorgasbord the former Love Island contestant is treated to, including hot breakfasts, ice cream, curries, pasta, chips, fruit, sandwiches and pastries.
Jordan wakes up at the crack of dawn and is in the cafeteria at 4:30 am to have his favorite meal of the day.
“Look at the options I get: fruit, yogurt, cereal, bread, muffins, you name it, hot food, porridge, it’s all there,” he said in a TikTok clamp.

Jordan Dowsett (pictured) has shared what his typical day is like as a FIFO electrician working the mines – and all anyone can talk about is the food he gets

He said that while he doesn’t use the “famous” coffee machine, it is “destroyed” by his fellow FIFO colleagues and he treats himself to a “cheeky” hot chocolate when he is “naughty.”
At 5 a.m. Jordan heads to the ‘crib’ where there are endless lunch and snack options for the workers to take to the mine.
“We’re going to pack our smoko and lunch for the day because once you get to the mine, there’s no way to get food,” he said.
“We pack it all morning and then we’re ready to go for the day.”
At 5:30 AM, Jordan takes the bus to the location where everyone attends a meeting and does some morning exercises before getting to work at 6:00 AM.

“Lunch is a hit and what I packed today was a little salad and some fruit, or sometimes if there’s a healthy alternative, I’ll have chicken and rice or something,” he added.
“And then there’s a big smile on my face because it’s 6 p.m. It’s time to stop, the day is finally over.”
Jordan will be back at camp and the gym at 6:30 PM for an hour-long training session.
‘I like the gym here because no one comes here, so I have the whole place to myself. I knock off a workout of about an hour, that gets me some food at 7:30 (when),β he said.
The sparky showed the range of meals for dinner, including curry and rice, chips, corn, green vegetables, stew, chicken schnitzel and salads, as well as ice cream for dessert.
At 8 p.m., Jordan is in bed and asleep half an hour later “ready to repeat the day.”
Jordan’s video was viewed more than 333,700 times, and viewers were most impressed β and envious β of the food on offer.
“The food looks insane,” one woman wrote, and another agreed, “Want to go to the mines for the food.”
βThis made me miss FIFO,β a third wrote.
“Offt, disgrace my camp food!!” someone else added.
βBro, that food is mean! That’s where most of my salary goes, so I’d save a lot of money by doing FIFO,” said one man.
