All 6,748 official specifications from the New Jersey Civil Service Commission: what the work is, what it pays, and who qualifies.
Start SearchingThese are job specifications, not job postings. Each one describes a position New Jersey employs people in, its duties, pay range, and requirements. Openings come from two places. The Civil Service Commission announces open competitive examinations, and this site tracks every announcement it publishes, including the ones it later takes down. Agencies fill provisional, noncompetitive and unclassified positions themselves and post those on their own sites, so which route applies depends on the title.
Pick the one closest to yours. Each link opens our plain-English guide to it, or the rule itself where we have no guide.
No civil service examination was open for filing as of October 24, 2026. October 2026's batch, posted October 1, 2026, held 136 open competitive and 308 promotional examinations and closed October 21, 2026. The Commission posts each new batch on the 1st of the month, so the next is due on or about November 1, 2026. The Commission takes an announcement down once it closes and republishes nothing, so we keep what we have read: 596 closed announcements that are on none of its own lists, each shown on the job specification it names.
See every announcement and how the cycle works. An announcement is an examination, not a job opening; this site does not track vacancies.

New Jersey State telework began as a 2020 emergency change to the flextime rule, ran for more than two years as a Commission pilot, and became N.J.A.C. 4A:6-7 in November 2025. Here is the record: the orders, the union agreement, the comments, the changes on adoption and the three decisions since.

Quarterly payroll records show which departments employ the most people and what each one pays. The largest employer pays well below the statewide median, and the best-paying one is smaller than a single prison system.

State job specifications carry a salary range. Local ones almost never do, and it is not missing data. Here is why, and what you can look at instead.

New Jersey runs its public-sector hiring through civil service title specifications: formal documents that spell out what a job involves, what it pays, and who qualifies. They are public records, but they sit scattered across the Civil Service Commission's website and are written in dense administrative language. NJ Civil Service Navigator pulls all 6,748 of them into one place you can actually search, and adds the context the raw specs leave out: what a role pays in today's dollars, where it sits on its promotional ladder, which agencies actually employ people in it, and how you would get hired for it.
It is built for the people who deal with these titles every day: job seekers weighing a move into government work, current state and local employees checking what a promotion pays, HR staff looking up a classification, and reporters or researchers working with workforce data. Every position page links its plain-language summary back to the official specification, and shows the source and the date the data was last refreshed.
Everything here is free, and no account is needed. The data comes from official New Jersey records, but the project itself is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of New Jersey or the New Jersey Civil Service Commission.
