AIMS members were again invited to provide a snapshot of their current salary package via an online web survey so that the information could be collated and this report prepared.
This report is intended to represent a general overview of current salary trends in the profession of mine surveying and/or to assist as a potential 'benchmark' in any salary negotiations.
In addition it provides members' feedback on various aspects of AIMS services such as seminars and communications.
The results and summaries are independently compiled and produced. Notwithstanding any errors or omissions, it is an accurate report of the information as provided by the AIMS members who participated in the survey.
