What the Building Services Coordinator family covers
Building Services Coordinator covers 6 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.
Skilled and semi-skilled labor is the part of the classification plan that never moved to a degree. Qualification rests on demonstrated ability, and for a great many of these titles the operative credential is a valid New Jersey driver's license of the right class rather than a diploma. The work is also the most physically specific in the plan, which is why the specifications read as lists of tasks and equipment instead of the general responsibility language used elsewhere. Because public works, water and sewer utilities, parks and school plants each run their own yards, near-identical jobs end up as separate title codes in separate places.
