What the Fire Code Assistance Representative family covers
Fire Code Assistance Representative is a graded series in the New Jersey civil service classification plan, running 2 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.
Sworn and investigative titles sit apart from the rest of civil service. They carry their own salary schedules, their own unions and, in most cases, an academy requirement and a medical and psychological screen on top of the exam. Rank is handled by moving between titles rather than by moving up a range, so the ladder here is a sequence of separate classifications. New Jersey also runs a large civilian investigative service alongside the sworn forces, and those titles follow ordinary competitive rules even though the work overlaps.

Ordered by what they actually pay rather than by the number in the title, the Fire Code Assistance Representative rungs look like this. Here the numbering happens to agree with the pay order, which is not guaranteed elsewhere in New Jersey's plan.

- Fire Code Assistance Representative 1 — $68,393 to $100,082 (a bachelor's degree and 6 years of experience)
The distance from the bottom of Fire Code Assistance Representative 1 to the top of Fire Code Assistance Representative 2 is $46,685, an increase of about 68% over the entry minimum.
