What the Laboratory Technician Water Analysis / Keyboarding Clerk family covers
Laboratory Technician Water Analysis / Keyboarding Clerk is a single-title family in the New Jersey civil service classification plan: one title code, with no numbered rungs above or below it. Every title in it is a local title, used by the counties, municipalities, authorities and boards that have adopted civil service under Title 11A rather than by state departments.
Clerical series are the entry door to New Jersey civil service and the largest group by headcount. They are also the most duplicated: nearly every one exists in both a state and a local version, and the local versions are what municipal clerks, county offices and boards of education hire against. Most require a high school diploma and nothing more, which makes them the practical route in for applicants without a degree. Advancement runs by responsibility, from clerk to senior to principal to head, with the specialised transcription and stenography variants branching off partway up.
Two jobs in one title
Laboratory Technician Water Analysis / Keyboarding Clerk is a consolidated title: one position carrying the duties of Laboratory Technician Water Analysis and Keyboarding Clerk at once, held by a single employee expected to do both. Small New Jersey employers use these when one function will not fill a whole position, so the Commission classifies the combined job rather than forcing it into one box or the other.
Separately, Keyboarding Clerk is its own family of 8 title codes across 4 levels. This consolidation holds 1 code, which is the usual pattern, since a consolidated title is normally created for the one jurisdiction that asked for it. Read the component specifications alongside this one, because the requirements of both halves apply.

On how the jobs are filled: 1 is non-competitive, appointed on proof of the stated qualifications rather than by examination.
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 local titles, so the hiring employers are New Jersey's counties, municipalities, authorities, library boards, school districts and fire districts that have adopted civil service under Title 11A. Not every New Jersey employer has. A town that never adopted the system hires however it chooses and never posts against these codes at all, which is why checking the employer before checking the title saves time. Look up whether an employer is a civil service jurisdiction, or read how local civil service differs from state.
