What the Pumping Station Operator / Sewer Repairer family covers
In New Jersey's classification plan, Pumping Station Operator / Sewer Repairer stands alone. The family holds one title code rather than a graded series. 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.
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
Pumping Station Operator / Sewer Repairer is a consolidated title: one position carrying the duties of Pumping Station Operator and Sewer Repairer 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, Sewer Repairer is its own family of 7 title codes across 3 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.

Requirements across the family
None of the specifications in this family names a degree requirement, which places these titles among the New Jersey positions open to applicants without formal higher education. Experience requirements sit at 1 year wherever they are stated.
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
Nothing in this family is hired by a state department. These are local codes, which means the employer is a county, municipality, authority, library, fire district or school district that chose to come under Title 11A. Roughly a quarter of New Jersey's municipalities did. In the rest, the same job exists but the hiring is done outside the civil service system entirely, so the title code will never appear in a posting. Check a specific employer before you plan around one of these titles, or read how local civil service works.
