What the Senior Environmental Health Specialist family covers
In New Jersey's classification plan, Senior Environmental Health Specialist 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.
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.

On how the jobs are filled: 1 is competitive, filled from an eligible list after an open competitive or promotional 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.
