Does anyone know what collective noun is used for surveyors? Do we have one?

A traverse of surveyors maybe.

No Surveyors listed here, closest I could find was "snail" (rout of Surveyors) or "salamander" (Congress of Surveyors)?? 😉

A surveyor between jobs is a "surveyor in transit".

I like some of the entries, but of course it's a Survey Party been that for a long time. If you're going for a new term, you need to apply it to "geomatic engineers"

P.S. "An argument of surveyors" cracked me up. good one Nate.
