What the Environmental Compliance Inspector family covers

Environmental Compliance Inspector is a graded series in the New Jersey civil service classification plan, running 3 title codes across 2 levels. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.

Inspectors and examiners are the operating arm of New Jersey's regulatory statutes, and the title usually tracks the law it enforces rather than a profession. That is why these families are narrow and numerous: weights and measures, construction code, environmental compliance, child care, insurance and market conduct each get their own series. Many require a state credential issued by another agency before you can hold the title at all, so the license, not the exam, is the real bottleneck. Local health and code enforcement offices hire the same titles as the state.

What each title does

Each title in the family carries its own published definition. These are the opening lines of each one, which is usually where the difference between two neighboring rungs is actually stated.

What it takes to qualify

Across the 3 titles we have parsed, the education requirements read as an associate's degree on 3 of them. Stated experience runs from 3 years at the lowest rung to 5 at the highest, which is the main thing separating one level from the next.

On how the jobs are filled: 1 is competitive, filled from an eligible list after an open competitive or promotional examination.

Who actually employs these titles

2 people appear on the state payroll under 1 of these title, at 1 agency. Transportation alone accounts for about 100% of them.

Median actual pay for Supervising Environmental Compliance Inspector is $108,073, which is what people in the title are really paid rather than the published band.

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.

Where these jobs exist
