What the Photographer / Printing Machine Operator family covers
In New Jersey's classification plan, Photographer / Printing Machine Operator stands alone. The family holds one title code rather than a graded series.
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.
Two jobs in one title
Photographer / Printing Machine Operator is a consolidated title: one position carrying the duties of Photographer and Printing Machine Operator at once, held by a single employee expected to do both. They exist because a borough or authority with a single crew cannot justify a separate post per function, so the combined duties get their own classification.
Separately, Printing Machine Operator 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.
