What the Forms Design Technician family covers

Forms Design Technician is a graded series in the New Jersey civil service classification plan, running 3 title codes across 3 levels.

Trades and maintenance titles are the most heavily local group in the whole classification plan. Public works yards, water and sewer utilities, parks departments and school district plants hire them, so the family often exists only with local codes and never appears on state payroll at all. Qualification usually rests on demonstrated skill and a driving credential rather than a degree, and several of these series are the ones New Jersey opens to applicants without any formal education requirement. At the state level the equivalent posts are represented by IFPTE rather than CWA.
