What the Registered Environmental Health Inspector family covers

Registered Environmental Health Inspector is a graded series in the New Jersey civil service classification plan, running 3 title codes across 3 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.

New Jersey splits environmental work across Environmental Protection, Agriculture, the county mosquito commissions and local utilities authorities, which is why families in this area often carry both state and local title codes. Field titles pair seasonal outdoor work with permitting and enforcement duties, so the same series can require a technical degree at one rung and a commercial driving or pesticide applicator credential at another. Water and sewer titles in particular are concentrated in municipal utilities authorities rather than in state service.

The ladder, ordered by pay

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

The distance from the bottom of Registered Environmental Health Inspector 1 to the top of Registered Environmental Health Inspector 3 is $61,956, an increase of about 102% over the entry minimum.
