What civil service status means for jobs at Camden City Redevelopment Agency
A redevelopment agency is created by a municipality or county to plan and carry out projects in areas formally designated as in need of redevelopment. It has its own board and, when it staffs up, its own employees. Its civil service status covers the agency alone and says nothing about the government that created it.
Agencies are small, so the title list is short and weighted toward professional work: redevelopment direction, project coordination, planning titles, and the analysis behind financing and property acquisition. Planner titles carry education requirements and often a professional planner credential. Because headcount is low, openings are infrequent and rarely surface on a general municipal exam schedule.
Temporary and seasonal appointments sit outside the permanent track entirely. Summer recreation staff, short-term project help and coverage for an absent employee are filled without an examination and end when the need does. The work counts as experience when you later apply for a competitive title, but it confers no status of its own.
New Jersey does not require an employer to hire whoever scored highest. When a list is certified, the appointing authority may choose among the top three interested candidates, which is why a rank of two or three on a list is still a serious position and why interviews still decide outcomes.

Common questions about Camden City Redevelopment Agency
Is Camden City Redevelopment Agency a civil service employer?
Yes. Camden City Redevelopment Agency appears in the New Jersey Civil Service Commission's listing of local civil service system jurisdictions as of July 2024, which makes it an appointing authority under Title 11A. Permanent appointments to competitive titles there come from eligible lists the Commission certifies, rather than from purely local hiring.
Does civil service status at Camden City Redevelopment Agency cover the rest of Camden?
No. Camden has more than one employer in the listing, and each holds its own status, runs its own examinations and keeps its own eligible lists. Seniority and permanent status earned at one do not transfer automatically to another, even inside the same town.
Does permanent status transfer to another civil service employer?
Not automatically. Permanent status belongs to a title at a particular appointing authority, so moving to another jurisdiction usually means a new appointment and a new working test period. Intergovernmental transfers between civil service employers are possible in the same or a comparable title, but they need agreement on both sides rather than being a right you can exercise.
Are there jobs here that never go through an examination?
Yes. Unclassified positions, which typically include department heads and confidential staff, are filled at the discretion of the appointing authority. Noncompetitive and labor titles inside the classified service are also filled without a competitive examination, though they still sit under civil service rules for things like layoff rights.
How many Camden City Redevelopment Agency employees are in a State pension system?
6 active memberships are reported through Camden City Redevelopment Agency, split across 6 in PERS. This counts pension enrolment rather than payroll, so employees who are not in one of these funds are not included.
What is the median pensionable salary at Camden City Redevelopment Agency?
$58,866, with the middle half of members between $53,005 and $78,488. These figures are pensionable salary reported to the NJ Division of Pensions and Benefits for the four most recent quarters, not total pay and not take-home pay. It excludes overtime and most supplemental pay, and it is before tax, before the member's own pension contribution and before health premiums.
How does pay at Camden City Redevelopment Agency compare with the rest of Camden County?
Its median pensionable salary of $58,866 sits at the 18th percentile among the 22 civil service jurisdictions in Camden County with pension data, where the midpoint jurisdiction reports $68,886. Local pay is set by ordinance rather than a State schedule, so spreads inside one county are wide.
How long do people stay at Camden City Redevelopment Agency?
The median enrolled member has 21.1 years of credited service, and 50% have passed twenty years. Credited service drives both retirement eligibility and the pension formula, so a long-tenured workforce usually means fewer open competitive appointments in the near term.
