Africa Anyone worked at Simandou (FIFO from London)

Anyone ever worked out there for Rio? Shifts are 4:2 but not much precise info online about expected annual pay.

Hey mate send me a DM if you’ve got any Qs. I’m contracting 4:2, can’t help with Rio pay specifics but might be able to help with others.

4:2? In Africa?

Damn, that's the dream.  

I interviewed with Rio not so long ago for a Madagascar gig and pay was slap bang in the Africa expat benchmark average for the role. Wasn't 4-2 though, they wanted me residential.
