Can concur that survey at all levels seems to be on the slide at the moment.
Mining companies in Aus are cutting back. Very little exploration and established mines are measuring their piles less often. Also uav's are sneaking in.
Think there are a few 'surveyors' looking to move on but there does not seem to be much going on in the flying industry anywhere, possibly also due to mining companies requiring less charter and freight movements.
Having said that the conditions at a couple of the outfits that The Aileron mentioned above are pretty good if you are happy to live out of a bag.
