What the Administrator family covers
Administrator covers 3 title codes arranged into 3 levels of responsibility. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Chief, director, manager and supervisor are not single jobs in New Jersey civil service. They are ranks applied across the whole of government, so a single family can hold hundreds of codes covering entirely unrelated bureaus. That structure matters for anyone reading the pay figures: two titles in the same family may share nothing except a level of responsibility. Most of these positions are managerial or unclassified, which means salaries are set individually rather than by stepping through a published ladder, and the managerial schedule itself has been frozen since 2007.

Median actual pay varies across the family, from $162,817 for Administrator 1 up to $172,923 for Administrator 3. Those are medians of what people are really paid, not schedule minimums and maximums.
State payroll only, deduplicated by payroll title; local employers file separately, so a family with local codes looks smaller here than it is. How this is counted.
How the pay is set
No state salary schedule applies here, because these are local titles. Pay is set by each adopting county, municipality or authority under its own ordinance or negotiated agreement, so two employers using the same title code can pay very differently. How local civil service pay works.
Where these jobs exist
These are state titles, hired by New Jersey departments, commissions and boards through the Civil Service Commission's announcement and eligible list process rather than by an ordinary job posting. How state hiring works, and which agencies employ what.

Common questions about Administrator jobs
How many Administrator titles are there in New Jersey civil service?
The Administrator family holds 3 title codes arranged across 3 levels. Each code is a separate classification with its own published specification, requirements and salary treatment.
What does an Administrator earn in New Jersey?
No state salary schedule figure is published for the titles in this family, which is normal for local classifications. Local civil service employers set their own pay by ordinance or negotiated agreement, so the rate depends on which county, municipality or authority is hiring.
Do you need to take an exam to become an Administrator?
Mostly no. 3 of the 3 titles here are unclassified, so appointment is at the employer's discretion rather than from an eligible list, and salary is set individually rather than by a published step. That also makes cross-agency salary comparison less reliable for these titles.
